iPhone/iPod Touch Thread

My two main wishes for the 2g model would be a higher screen rez (At least 800x480) and BTDUN support. We'll probably get the former eventually but I'm doubtful about the latter.

My real hope is that they bring out a 5" tablet with a similar OS and an 800x480 screen.

I doubt it'd be much use to me. Apple would forget the BTDUN support again (Or tie it specifically to an iPhone). My Touch is already much less useful than it could be without BTDUN support. I have the beta of Joikuspot for my phone but it's pretty flakey at the moment.

I use Visual Hub on my Mac as it does Apple TV 5.1 and iPhone from just about any file format including TS Folders to almost any size

Bought this yesterday and it's dealt with everything I've thrown at it so far, and the vids show up in itunes ready to sync, all by magic
Thanks for the tip.

It is a good point, and the reason I have a iPhone over a touch. Any future touches really need BTDUN.

Perhaps it is a more likely feature in a tablet device, as that would be more internet appropriate than an iPod.

Wifi only tends to smack of Apple assuming we're all sat in Starbucks most of the time

I can't see Apple ever adding BTDUN to the Touch line while they make so much money off data tariff's for the iPhone. Just not gonna happen.

[HGFB]

Nope. Me neither. Shame really. It's a very nice device otherwise.

Data's free on the iPhone innit

No such thing as free, innit...you're paying a minimum of £35 a month if you aren't using a PAYG SIM. You're not getting £35 of calls and everything else out of the goodness of O2's (black) heart, it's all marketing fluff...the costs are all rolled into the one price.

I was paying 30 quid a month before on Orange with an N95 that couldnt web surf properly if it had lessons from Bill Gates for 15 years ! It has its flaws but it has been my gadget of the year since I got it last November. It just saves me carrying my Macbook around a lot of the time and wifi in Bristol is pretty plentiful to say the least.....http://www.wi-fitechnology.com/displayarticle2077.html

I give o2 a lot less cash now I've got an iPhone, their data tarrif was horrendous. 600 min calls for my £35 as well and that's just about all I spend a month now. The worse I've had prior to getting the iPhone was £220 because of the stupidly expensive data cost.

Shame you can't use the iPhone as a modem for your lappy though.
