Apple's iPod event set for September 9th

[Joey]

Were there even any hardware changes to the 'new' ipod touch(32GB and 62GB)

No, which is why i'm wondering why Engadget is calling it the "iPod Touch 3G"... Tongue in cleekly, of course, but still... That gives the impression that it's more than just more memory.

Ah-found it. Just went back through apple.com and found this:

The new iPod touch [32 and 64 GB models] is up to 50 percent faster than the previous-generation iPod touch. So apps launch faster and web pages load in a fraction of the time.

The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models feature improved performance and support for OpenGL ES Version 2.0, which lets developers create games with superior graphics. So games launch noticeably faster, and you experience richer, more lifelike textures and detail.

So, I guess there were some hardware improvements?

They were never going to add a camera to the Touch.

Still, the last place anyone would have expected them to shove a camera is in the nano.

I'm digging the polished anodized aluminum finish though.:laugh:

Umm they upgraded to the same CPU as the iPhone 3GS..

[Seth]

yes

 

[Moose]

Did they specify the camera specification for the Nano?

Lulz iPhone 3.1 has been jailbroken

 

[Lachrymose]

Well I guess it kinda makes sense for them not to put a camera on the Ipod Touch because it might take business away from the Iphone.

..they still should of put one in though , cus i want one.

 

[agentnnc]

Looks like I'm going to plan B for the camera...I'll have to wait till my contract expires with Bell and go with rogers/fido and just get next year's iPhone.

Although I don't really like my first generation iPod Touch...the thing keeps crashing apps (not just cracked ones, but things like mail and safari too.

Any word on when the new ipod touch (32 and 64 models) will be jailbroken? (progress etc)

 

[agentnnc]

it just came out, give it at least a week

 

[Cryox]

Itunes 9 is out and adds nothing...

Except for it looks really ugly now... I don't like the new look.

 

[Colm]

iTunes 9 is horribly broken, at least on 7...

I haven't experienced anything weird yet, and I'm on Win7 64bit.

 

[Craig Fairfax]

I haven't had any problems with it. Then again I try to iTunes as little as possible.

 

[eighty4]

iTunes 9 adds loads of shit.

App management, Home sharing, buying without viewing a page on iTunes, full scree iTunes store, organized file folders, and finally iTunes LP.
