iPod Touch and iOS4
in [UK Mac]

From: El.Plates on 24 Jun 2010 07:19 There is an upgrade available for my iPod Touch to download and install iOS4, has anyone else here taken the "upgrade" ? My iPodTouch is working fine as it is and I'm unsure as to what the benefits are supposed to be with this upgrade. Does anyone have links or information about the upgrade ? TIA.

It may not have anything that you want, though. http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2010/06/ars-reviews-ios-4-whats-new-and-notable.ars There are a number of decent reviews out there. Few of them concentrate on the Touch, but just ignore phone/GPS/camera bits and you'll get the same. Also check into exacly which Touch you have - only the 3rd gen will take the full benefits of iOS4. Cheers - Jaimie -- "Jesus died for our sins.

To expand upon that last bit - the iPhone 3G is slower under iOS4 than 3 (and doesn't get the full feature set), while the iPhone 3GS is faster under iOS4. I suspect the Touch gen2 and gen3 would do the same, so updating a gen2 might be a bad idea.

My gen 2 iPod Touch feels about the same speed with iOS 4 as iOS 3. I thought gen 3 iPod Touches were equivalent in hardware spec to the iPhone 3GS, ie more memory, faster graphics? -- Chris |
