itouch

Does anyone think Apple will offer an itouch with bluetooth? What improvements do you see coming with subsequent versions? The 8gb looks awesome, but I don't want to get one then have them come out with huge improvements. I was thinking either a remote control or bluetooth on the next version. Thoughts?

I got an iPod Touch (8gb) for Christmas from my wife, she bought it at Costco so I have 90 days from date of purchase to return it for any reason. So if there is a significant upgrade to the Touch I can return it and get the "New and Improved" version without a hassle. But I really don't think there will be any hardware updates to the touch other then maybe larger capacity. I believe that the major updates will come by way of software to increase functions and features that have yet to be tapped into other then by jailbreaking it. I guess time will tell though!!!

How do you like the itouch? Is it cool to watch movies on? How is the wifi browser?

Very unlikely to see new iPods of any sort at MacWorld, iPods get their own event these days.

As far as the Touch goes, screen is great and movie playback is smooth. The browser is so-so as there is currently no Flash support (yet) so many pages don't display properly. This is supposed to be fixed somewhat soon from what I have read, and will surely be resolved as the SDK picks up steam.

I love my iPod Touch. I've had it for a few months now and it's become my main iPod. I only use my 5G when I need the larger library. To me, the Touch is both an iPod and PDA. Now that the new apps are out, it's even more of a PDA. The Mail and Notes apps alone are worth $20 to me.

I agree, and bought the upgrade last night. I do have to admit at being a little surprised that the iPod touch upgrade was $20 while all the other upgrades were free. The iPod touch upgrade really just brings the touch up to parity with the iPhone, which is what a lot of people expected/wanted originally. Maybe it's a trial balloon to see if people are willing to upgrade for a fee versus having to buy the next gen iPod.

Yeah Doug, it could be a trial. I know a lot of people have been complaining about it. But think of it like the iLife suite. When a new one comes out, you have to pay for an upgrade but the newly bought Macs have it already.

I was also disappointed with the $20 price tag, but I'm totally loving Mail and Maps. Stocks, Weather and Notes are just kind of there for me. I do have a question though. What do you guys think will happen if they come out with new versions of the same apps? Will we have to pay again?

As soon as I got home on Tuesday, I downloaded the new apps. I'm not complaining about the $20. I am happy that mail is now available. I also like the maps, too. I'm loving my iPod touch. I ripped a Doctor Who DVD and it plays great. I haven't downloaded any rentals, probably won't, since I have Netflix, but if you have a touch, video plays great on it.

Does the Touch allow you to record audio ?
