iPod touch 3.2 OS coming to the iPod Touch/iPhone?

3.2

I wouldn't be surprised if "iPhone OS 3.2" is just a temporary title. There are a lot of iPad-only features and design paradigms that cannot be translated into the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone will never run "3.2" as it stands. For instance, Popovers and Split Views. These require the large screen real-estate of the iPad, not because of pixels, but the size of our fingers. Most likely, we will have a rebranding of the OS. "iOS" makes sense but continuing to call it "iPhone OS" would be like Apple still calling themselves "Apple Computers Inc". It's outdated.

I like OS X Mobile more than iOS(I think Cisco owns that trademark anyway)/

Dude, have you done any research? I'm not dissing you, but geohot and the Dev Team both said that they wouldn't be releasing jailbreak/unlock because 3.1.3 was to flush out all the jailbreaks and unlocks. Sure, they found exploits and crashes, but I doubt they'll ever release it. Even if they do, it'll be too late.
 
If there is anything from 3.2 that will appear on the iPhone, it probably won't be added until OS 4.0.

You've gotta be kidding me. That is so lame. Can't they take out the iPad features and import what can be on the iPod Touch/iPhone imported? :(

Because the major changes are the iPad-specific UI changes, which require a larger screen, period, and changes to documents and text. That's it. What features are you expecting for iPhone OS 3.2 if it ever makes it onto an actual iPhone? It will may include text support features but i HIGHLY doubt it. You'll have to wait for 4.0.
 
one of the main things i want for my touch is the wallpaper on the home and lock screen like the ipad has for home and lock screens
