iPhone/iPod Touch Firmware 2.2 is up

working well in my unlocked iPhone 2G, maintains the unlock well and I am not bothered about jailbreak anymore. It does seem to open apps quicker than on 2.1.
So far so good.

They is a option somewhere in the settings, to make sure GPS/Location services is turned on.. cant remember where though.
 
Impressed with this update.

I know they said it with 2.1 but Safari has improved drastically. Has not crashed once in 24 hours and it seems to be a lot quicker. Even browsing with 1 bar of GPRS is bearable. Text input seems to be a lot more responsive also. That is all I have really noticed so far. The street view stuff is irrelevant to us UK residents anyway until it reaches us. Any ETA?

Me too, it's done quite well, you just download them off the iTunes store and you can download any one you want. But there is a 10meg limit over 3g, rest need to be wifi.
Another good thing is you can delete your podcasts by doing the finger swipe :cool:

I've noticed you can't download podcasts over 10mb without wi-fi, but by tapping on the name you can still stream them over 3G and listen to them fine that way :cool:

I should be entitled to moan because iPhone users got it and both devices are equal on a technical level. iPod users dont get everything free btw, before the 2nd generation iPod Touch, we needed to pay for the update that included Maps etc

EDIT: And tbh the statement "you're not entitled to anything beyond what you got when you bought the device" doesn't make any sense. Every device you buy your are entitled to improvements made upon that device. Firmware? Drivers? These are made to improve the users device and are entitled to them. Whats the point in making a device that has a lot of bugs and telling the buyer, "Sorry, you bought it the way it was, we aren't gonna bother fixing it for you".

How long does it take people to get this, apple have no option, their accounting methods require them by law to charge for additional functionality on the ipod touch. The iphone has an ongoing charge for service and hence additional functionality can be delivered under that, the ipod doesn't, hence you must pay. So stop moaning like apple are just spinning it to make extra money because they simply aren't.

Excuse me? Do you see Street View on iTunes with a price tag beside it? Or are you just pulling it out of your ass?

The update, when it comes to the ipod touch, will be chargeable, for exactly the same reason as the updates adding additional functionality were previously. For exactly the same reason. Now if you'd done some research you'd know that.

How about reading my previous posts? I clearly said that the Maps update required Touch users to pay for it, but not on the 2nd Gen Touch because it was bundled with it.

Apple will probably charge, but it is totally daft because they have given Touch users everything else in the update like the new Safari, new App Store and now Podcasts being downloadable via iTunes on the Touch. They should have gave us everything or nothing.

They cannot give NEW functionality (thats new functionality, like street view but not like safari because there's nothing new that safari does the old version didn't) to people who bought the device previously. That would be illegal, is that so hard to understand. You think it's daft, then your problem is with US accounting laws...

So your saying that every product you buy, you are never ever entitled to free updates that bring new functionality to that product? Hmmm....

Yes, finally! If the company you buy it from is US based and uses those accounting standards (namely SAB 104 and SOP 97-2 being the relevant standards) then it would be illegal to provide additional functionality at no cost for a product with multiple deliverables (unless the product is covered by an ongoing fee arrangement - like the iphone). Reason being it would otherwise be possible for the company to cheat on the recognition of revenue, so they must charge appropriately for the additional functionality as laid out in the VSOE.
