Well, after updating my ipod touch 2g, every other update available to ipod touch users works fine
expect for the fact that the appstore app still looks the same as before the 2.2 update even though
it is supposed to look different. Is it only available to iphone users just like enhancements to
google maps or is there something wrong? Anybody else have this issue?
Any reply is greatly appreciated :)

La mise à jour de l’iPhone est téléchargeable dès maintenant
sur iTunes. Cette nouvelle version du firmware apporte plusieurs améliorations du
système d’exploitation et quelques nouveautés. Des changements notables ont
été apportés à l’application Plans qui intègre
maintenant Street View (vue de rue) et les transports publics. Du côté des podcasts,
il est désormais possible de les télécharger depuis l’application
iTunes sur votre iPod.
Voyons donc en détail les principales améliorations qu’apporte cette mise
à jour. À mon avis, la plus intéressante se trouve sur l’application
Plans. L’implantation de Street View est très réussie. Pour y accéder,
vous n’avez qu’à déposer un repère à l’endroit
où vous désirez accéder à Street View. Une fois le repère en
position, cliquez sur l’icône représentée par un bonhomme orange.
Aussitôt Street View démarrera.
 Lorsque vous créez un itinéraire, vous avez maintenant accès aux
options transports publics et piétons. L’option transports publics fonctionne de la
même façon que sur Google Maps. Vous obtenez la durée approximative et les
heures de départ des prochains bus.
En ce qui concerne l’application podcats, il est possible de télécharger de
nouveaux podcasts depuis l’application iTunes de votre iPod. Cependant, cette
opération est possible uniquement lorsque vous êtes branché en Wi-Fi. Aucun
téléchargement de podcast en 3G n’est permis. Dommage, car il me semble
qu’il aurait été plus utile que cette nouveauté fonctionne en 3G.
Remarquez qu’il est aussi impossible de télécharger ou de faire une mise
à jour sur certaines applications plus lourdes. Je ne connais pas exactement la limite,
mais cette impossibilité de télécharger des podcasts OTA découle sans
doute des ententes avec les opérateurs téléphoniques.
L’une des choses qui m’irritaient profondément sur l’iPhone
c’était le correcteur automatique, il était impossible de le
désactiver. Sur la nouvelle version, vous pouvez enfin désactiver cette fonction.
Si vous voulez désactiver la correction automatique, rendez-vous sur
“Réglage”, ensuite, sélectionnez “Général” et
enfin, cliquez sur “Clavier”.
Une amélioration intéressante, une pression sur le bouton d’accueil depuis
n’importe quel écran où se trouve l’icône de vos applications,
vous permet de revenir instantanément au premier écran d’accueil. En
principe, vos applications favorites se trouvent sur le premier écran d’accueil.
Quelques autres améliorations, optimisations et corrections de bogues ont
été apportées sur la nouvelle version du iPhone. Il manque toujours entre
autres au iPhone les fonctions copier-coller et la possibilité de créer des
répertoires pour y déposer les applications. L’écran d’accueil
devient rapidement un fouillis avec l’ajout d’applications.
Plus de détails sur cette mise à jour ici.

It looks like our earlier report was right on the money. iPhone firmware
2.2 is out now and ready for download via iTunes. Most, if not
all, of the features that we reported that are included in this new firmware are still part of
the package. For those who missed out on it, here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect
to find in firmware 2.2:
- Enhanced Maps application: Google Street
View, Public transit and walking directions, Display address of dropped pins, Share location
via email
- Podcasts now included in iTunes
-
Redesigned
Safari Browser lay-out and improved performance and stability
- Enable/Disable text auto-correction in Keyboard Settings
- Mail Enhancements: Resolved isolated issues with scheduled fetching of email, Improved
formatting of wide HTML email
- Improved sound quality of Visual Voicemail messages
- Pressing the Home button while on a different Home screen will bring you to the first Home
screen
It’s a nice mix of new features and improvements, and it’s just in time so you can
compare it with the performance of the Meizu
M8. Anyway, now that everything’s official already with the iPhone firmware 2.2,
the big question on everybody’s mind is; when will the iPhone
2.2 jailbreak be released?

iPod touch Fans forum -

This is REALLY weird. Can someone explain this to me, this has had me scratching my head for
weeks.
A few weeks ago I was driving to a party, and so used by touch to look up directions on maps before
I left. I also left the screen on a map of the destination area so I have an easy frame of
reference when I get there.
But, as I drove closer into the vicinity of the map I had, I found something strange was going on.
The "locate me" feature on the touch was working! I could see myself driving around on the map -
the little blue icon was moving as I moved.
This was really weird as I was not connected for one second to any wifi, and I moving far too fast
(being in a car) anyway for the touch to even locate one. So why was it acting like a satnav?

The phone is definitely saving recent searches or locations I guess. I don't know if it's been
documented but if you visit a bookmark, it takes the usual time to load and identify, drop the pin,
all the good stuff (over edge).
Then, go to another bookmark, the same thing happens. Go back to bookmark 1 and it will drop that
pin on a fully-loaded screen at like warp speed. It must be remembering in a cache or
something.
Is that new? Never noticed it before.

Ubisoft has revealed a new batch of downloadable content for its incredibly aggressive African
safari, a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/far-cry-2"emFar Cry 2/em/a. Due to be released "by the
end of November," the emFortune's Pack/em bolsters the game's collection of weapons, multiplayer
maps and, perhaps most importantly, fuel-guzzling transports. It's not quite the turret-equipped
elephant we were hoping for, but a quad should do us fine. There's also a "unimog," which is either
a big truck thing or an adorable emFinal Fantasy/em creature with a tertiary education. Probably
the former.br /br /Also added to both the single- and multiplayer components are three new weapons:
the sawed-off shotgun; the silenced shotgun; and the crossbow. Be sure to use those on Fortune's
four additional multiplayer maps, dubbed emCheap Labor, Last Resort, Lake Smear/em and emFort
Fury/em. br /br /The pack will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store for
$10 -- or two of the diamonds you found in a suspicous briefcase in the middle of nowhere.br /div
