[billchase2]

i think it's funny how everyone is ALWAYS disappointed by the keynotes. what do you expect out of these?

8GB, $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399. All three are available today.

 

[ppilone]

Is "funnest" a word? I always thought it was "most fun"

 

[Breegy]

“This is the funnest iPod ever.” – Steve Jobs

Whatever, I will not be buying a ipod to play games on.

 

[Beric]

They didn't drop the 8GB, and the 32GB is too expensive.

 

[EricNau]

$229 for an iPod touch? That's very tempting.

 

[stuart.cam]

The one thing holding me back from buying it is that I can't keep it in my pocket and change songs.

You can change songs with it soon because the new earbuds work with it aswell.

world peace?

 

[goosnarrggh]

I hope the touch has a shake to shuffle feature. The one thing holding me back from buying it is that I can't keep it in my pocket and change songs. Oh and the price too... does anyone think there's still a chance the price will be dropped? I assume he would have mentioned it..

It'll probably be compatible with the new headphone remote announced for the iPod Nano -- you'll be able to change songs using that.

geez - so much for 'cheaper' ipods....

 

[macfan881]

Because Apple deserve it, they brag about this being a "big" event and so far everything could have been refreshed w/o hoopla.

its kinda hard to make this a big event when there have been 3rd party companys leak half of the keynote..

I'm not disappointed. I loved the Nanos. The iPod Touch was neat. But pretty much the same. iTunes 8 is exciting. I'm just so tired of hearing about apps..

iPod Touch (and iPhone?) firmware to 2.1

 

[Beric]

2.1 for both iPod and iPhone. Expected.

 

[Mindflux]

iPod Touch 2.1! Here comes the 2.1 talks. Available friday for iPhone.

 

[Fotograffiti]

Engadget are always like that ....

I was just commenting on how much I hate the snotty remarks after each update of theirs. It really makes me think less of Engadget when they think they have to put a smartass coment after each post.

 

[ryanmcv]

iPhone 2.1 firmware:

"This is a big update, it fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster."

Available FRIDAY.

 

[hob]

iPhone 2.1 on Friday. Hmm... still working on it then!

$79 for dual driver 'phones is a bargain - I paid over $300 for my Super.Fi 5 earphones

Hmm, I have the Sennheiser CX300 Silver. With dual drivers on the $79pr, the sound should be better than what I currently have? Mine are pretty good (bass is excellent actually) but are getting old and I might need a replacement soon.

 

[ebrunn]

all wanted out of 2.1 was stability, looks like I got it.

 

[Artofilm]

I wonder if use iPod touch users can use those microphone earbuds to do skype calls or the like?

 

[t0mat0]

2.1

I hope this will shut up and solve a lot of problems. Maybe they've even got some easter eggs/unnannounced features in there too...

iPhone 2.1 firmware:

"This is a big update, it fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster."
