Gizmodo is at the live coverage of the keynote where Jobs has just announced the new features of the iPod Touch.
A speaker great, wow, what about everyone elses predicitons, GPS, Bluetooth...all fantasies...
Well the only fantasy that came true was the speaker it also has external volume control and Nike+ BUILT IN!
WOW Nike + lets get excited....considering most people who own ipods are fats asses....(like myself)
If you already own a 1st Gen Touch guess what...UPGRADE TO 2.1 FOR FREE!!
Giving you Nike+ and Genius playlists!
Cool.
Except you won't have the Nike+ receiver, and 2.1 is only free if you already have 2.0.
TEG
1. I have 2.0
2. The reciever is built in!
Built in to the NEW iPod touch models.
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.
Well the only fantasy that came true was the speaker it also has external volume control and Nike+ BUILT IN!
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.
if my ipod touch is 2-month old will they let me swap it for an updated one??
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
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.
