all I want is better battery life
As an iPod touch owner all I really want is for the wifi to shutdown (auto airplane mode) when the device goes into standby. My battery life is terrible (approx 24 hours in standby) if the airplane mode is turned off. If it is turned on and off every time I use the device the battery life is very good.
For those who have been on the iPod touch battery threads - yes I have tried unloading all of the apps before putting into standby. The only thing that works is Airplane mode. So all I want is someway to do the equivalent of an auto airplane mode.

Well it is supposed to stay connected to the network looking for email and push notifications.
Is that a beta itunes version? What about the os x can that be 10.6.4 or does it need to be the beta 10.6.5?
No, that makes no sense on an iDevice. WiFi persistence is a key feature to get things like push notifications, e-mail alerts, SMS messages etc, while the device is in sleep mode. That's not going to change.
I wonder what the chances are this will be released before Thanksgiving. Traditionally, when Apple says "November" they mean November 29 or December 4 or so.
4.2 is sweet...
Whole OS feels snappier all around.
Loving multitasking and unified inbox (was missing it since I've had it on my iPhone forever it seems).
Also, for me, having the mute switch back rocks.
No problems with any of my apps so far. Netflix plays videos w/o any issues.

Usually within 2 weeks. It took exactly 1 week for 4.1 to go from GM to public.
UPDATE: Just looked it up, 4.1 GM came out on the 1st and the public release came out on the 8th.
I'd say that they're probably pretty good considering that the GM is the final build before release and also that typically the transition between GM and release with Apple is a week. So if I had to guess it'll be released the 9th.
Autumn just started barely a month ago. Therefore, winter is nearly two months off, so we're still closer to summer than winter. Autumn will be half over in about a week or two.
Did you register your UUID with Apple? I think you will still need this even with a GM image.
You have "restore" to 4.2 in iTunes. After you're done, you then restore all your settings and apps from backup.

In iTunes, (on OSX) you click the restore button while holding the Alt key. This will bring up a finder window so you can point to the 4.2 file (otherwise iTunes thinks you already have the latest OS (and rightly so since this is still considered a beta release).
This process restores you to the OS that you select, which takes around seven or eight minutes. After this is done, you're upgraded, and ready to restore your settings from backup.
