Gizmodo is at the live coverage of the keynote where Jobs has just announced the new features of the iPod Touch.

 
Ah, bug fixes galore. Apple just annoucned firmware 2.1 for the iPhone and iPod touch. "No crashes," says Steve.



Believe that when I see it lol
 
Man, I'm glad I got my Touch when the dollar was at $2 to the pound - these "updates" are feeble, at best.

An external volume that you'll hardly ever use (battery drain with a tinny speaker) and something for joggers that most people will never use more than twice (plus you have to pay extra for a receiver to get the thing to work).

No GPS, no camera, no bluetooth, no case redesign, no memory increase.

As we've all said before - if you want something better, get an iPhone.
 
The receiver is builtin to the new ipod touch models, apple has you covered on that part. I love the price drop, time to get a 32GB model now ^_^

There's been a significant case redesign.
 
Pretty dissappointing, they really didn't do much with it aside from the speaker and thinner design. Anyways...when is the ipod touch 2.1 firmware supposed to be released? Is it today or friday with the iphone update.
 
Well the only fantasy that came true was the speaker it also has external volume control and Nike+ BUILT IN!

where are those dem speakers????

I was about to post that as well coming from Apple.com, I can't find them as well. Darn it, I might have to go in store and try out before I buy. Sound quality might be low if its not visible :mad:

Hmmm well they show that the speaker is down at the bottom where the dock and headphone jack is at. Maybe the sounds will come out from the dock connector? Just weird, why not make it like the iPhone speakers. Oh well, just have to wait and see.

Very disappointing, but:

"the speaker doesn't sound like complete trash despite not even having any speaker holes" -Engadget

guess it's better than nothing!!! but still...arg, lol
 
iTunes 8

I have now got iTunes 8 on my PC!

Just waiting for 2.1 for my Touch which i hope won't be too long :)
