Firmware 2.1: "Secret Feature" Predictions?
- Thread starter ViPa

I may be wrong but I think I remember reading that the hardware does not support stereo bluetooth.
I have noticed that the SMS lag comes from leaving the iPod app running. After I pause my iPod app, it seems to slow things down. Whenever I see the slow SMS typing, I switch to iPod and hold in the button until the iPod app quits. When I switch back to txt, the lag is gone...
Just keep your hopes down. My expectations are:
Anything more is a (really good) bonus.
- iTunes 8 with new visualizers
- iPod shuffle color change only
- iPod nano as rumored
- iPod classic price drop only
- iPod touch price drop only
I'd agree with that + 2.1 software. I'd imagine the ipod touch has a new shell + GPS. There's also that rumoured 'grid view' for itunes, and and...
oh hang on

The touch will also see a slight redesign, and, I would guess, the end of the 8 GB model.
I think the classic could be killed off, but probably not unless a 64 GB touch is ready.
I also think a mac mini update that same day, but without any fanfare at the event, is possible.

Yeah, I found the iPod app works best on its own - no multi-tasking. When I listen to music, everything else is painfully slow. I wish Apple hadn't been so cheap with the amount of RAM on this thing.

Yes, but notification services (i.e. "push") was pulled from beta 4 (the last one) with the note "removed for further development". If this is included there will be no developers prepared to make use of it for a quite a while, and hence few (if any) apps. I suppose they could lock it to a few of the big guys (AOL and the like), but with the issues they've had with 2.0.x (and MobileMe) I'd think they'd really prefer a larger test base.
Personally, I'm expecting 2.1 to be mainly a bug fix release to stabilize the platform.
rob.
Those are sub features of an iLife add on, their are 3 different versions;
iGirlfriend; this is a cheap add on generally can cause drama and is known to uninstall it self if you are caught looking at iPr0n to much or @ the newer iHottie. Is upgradable to iWife with some $$$
iWife; Generally more stable then iGirlfriend, often comes with iBaby already installed. Good value overall. HOWEVER can interfere with iSports unless you install iShopping w/Friends extension.
iParents; Most YOUNGER people are familiar with this package. Generally you out grown this package by 21 years of age. UNLESS you still play WoW in the basement @ 30~years of age
People really need to get over this tablet crap. It will probably happen someday, but it's not going to happen for a long time. You people have been drooling over the idea for what, for or five years now?
mainly bug fixes....that's all you're going to get....
new designed ipod touches and nanos and other design changes... which Iphone users don't care...
iphone users waiting for "new features" will be very disappointed. I'll come back to this thread and say " I told you"....

Of course their is gonna be an "Amazing Feature", but i think the secret behind this is so everyone updates. People are still on 2.0 when att/apple practically begged for use to update to 2.0.2 to help atts cell sites, now with an update that's worth it they will get all those people to update. I think that we will have apps with Push abilitys and the ability to run apps in the background so kids can drop there sidekicks and get a real phone.
A much quicker SMS lag fix is to open Safari, then hit the home button, then open SMS. Works every time for me.
Flhusky,
The main problem with iWife is that uninstalling requires iLawyer ($$$) and even after uninstall, will still be a drag on your system resources.
Personally, I'm hoping for more cowbell.

the only way your getting anything iPhone related on the iPod touch would be if it plugged into the dock connector (ie GPS or SIM slot for data on the go) but i would doubt that.
They couldnt add MMS because of att right?? its not included in the plan? (go optus AU) i have never yet needed C&P as of yet but im sure i will use it if it is there

iPod Visulizations?
That would be a cool feature when the iPod Touch/iPhone is in the dock.
Just going to throw that out there.
