Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
As seen in the giant banner on Yerba Buena Center, the silhouette of the iPod seems to have rounded edges. It resembles more to the iPod touch than any iPod nano; released or the rumored one.
The mini-stereo jack is located at the bottom of the iPod, and the size seems to be in the iPod touch range.
What does this mean? Who knows!
Three weeks after the release, Apple updates iPhone Software 2.0 to address numbers of issues.
Details are a little bit sketchy at this moment, but it is expected for Apple to address the stability and performance issue regarding the iPhone Software.
The update is available through iTunes with iPhone/iPod touch plugged-in.
Another note of interest, that there are two different iPhone Software 2.0.1 for the iPhone and iPhone 3G.
iPhone Software 2.0.1 for iPhone 3G is labeled iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw and weighs in at 249.1MB.
iPhone Software 2.0.1 for iPhone is labeled iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw and weighs in at 242.3MB.
Anecdotally, the iPhone 3G running Software 2.0.1 feels a zippier.
Yet another feature from iPhone Software 2.0 confirmed. The Wi-Fi can be turned on in Airplane mode.
What is the practical use of having Wi-Fi on in Airplane mode? Maybe now the iPhone can be used for browsing the internet on the airplane during flight. But the obvious use is to have the iPhone functioning just like an iPod touch, all the Wi-Fi without the phone signal.
If you recently replaced your original iPhone with iPhone 3G, you can now use it as an iPod touch by switching to the Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi on. It saves some battery life not having the iPhone still looking for the GSM signals.
