Honestly, the main thing I'm hoping for is bug fixed that are helpful in helping safari not to crash as much. Also, I'm looking forward to being able to get podcasts on my iPod touch. If you search this you should get several threads talking about this subject.

oh when is it expected to be coming out

and yes id say make safari more stable especially even though its not that bad for me

 

[Lray3152]

yeah same here with the podcasts and safari fix up. I mean i heard possibly tomorrow or in January at Macworld. Anything else you think will be on the update or release date everyone?

 

[laserfox]

I heard that they were improving google maps to include street view and subway directions. That is pretty cool!

Would it be wrong or realistic to say "a nominal charge for iPod touch users"?

 

[Lray3152]

haha probably realistic, but hey one can dream/hope right? haha

all I want them to fix is the crashing in the safari and the lagging keyboard in the safari.

Considering that this update will encompass a number of bug fixes for the 2g touch I have my doubts that we'll be charged this time.

2.2 is currently out for download, as is itunes 8.02

It's also free

 

[Dino451]

I am downloading it now for my touch 2g for free. It says its for the 1g and 2g

 

[MacGeekDC]

It's out!

 

[Mechanicus]

awesome. Mine just got 70 percent way through the update and then said there's a problem and bricked itself. SWEET!

 

[semin28]

I'm not gonna update tonight. Because it's problay just another useless update . Can someone tell me if they fixed the crashing in the safari ? Then it will be worth it to take my touch out of the box again. Also I thought I heard way back that they were reamping the safari and giving it a new look? Or am I just making this up?

 

[LiveCrunch]

Direct link?

 

[ddeadserious]

Updated and installed, etc.

Nothing impressive or notable, they made the URL bar and the Google bar on the same horizontal line and when you hit one, the other goes off the screen.

Auto-correct is now turn off-able.

No google street view.

Lame.

So its not worth getting out of bed to update?

Unless there's some sweet feature(s) I'm missing(which I doubt), I'd say no.

 

[SkyBell]

Eh, you get what you pay for. In this case, it was free, so don't expect much.

Safari is snappier. For real this time.

I 2nd that!

The entire system seems very quick, more like it did before the 2.0 update. One thing that is cool about podcasts is that you can stream them from the store by double tapping the title. (both video and audio)

 

[LordEntropy]

Anyone tell me if they fixed the fast forward/rewind bug that has existed in 2 for ages?

 

[Lray3152]

wow! sounds like they made some good adjustments especially to safari and podcasts. Keep them coming everybody!

 

[quick5pnt0]

That is a bummer. I can't believe after hearing of street view all this time they decided not to implement it on the touch. Yet another Apple letdown.
