hmm, now thats a interesting development.

question is, will apple make use of it...

if they give the touch the ability to use AD2P and possibly tethering, it may well cut into the sale of iphones...

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

Is it bluetooth? I read it as part of Nike's special chipset (they have a 2.4 Ghz signal that's similar to bluetooth but not actually bluetooth).

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

The chip is commonly used as BT2.0 EDR as well as WiFi, ANT ( Nike ), and a bunch more. In this case the firmware has Nike and WiFi support, but no BT.

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

Ah ok, so to get BT support, Apple would have to add it to their firmware.

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

or someone would have to hack/crack/whatever that firmware and add it that way...

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

Best hope in that line probably lies with iPhone Linux. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Another bad thing about the iTouch is no file system. Apparently, you cannot store any files on it, such as pdf files or use space as a usb flash drive. That certainly does limit a lot of usefulness of the device.

Ubuntu... easy?... uh yeah OK if you say so...

Re: iPod Let's Rock Event - UPdates to nano and touch
 

it is a lot easier than lets say any cli version of *nix
