Apple's latest iPod gets a Touch more exciting
Cupertino (CA) - Version 1.1.2 of the iPod Touch software is now available, adding among other things the ability to create and edit events directly from the device.
The main part of the update is that users no longer need to update their schedule from a computer and sync that information to the iPod. It can now all be done through the device’s updated software. This is much more plausible with the iPod Touch because of the direct interaction possible with the screen.
Additional updates for the widescreen touch-screen iPod include a new battery icon that shows up when the device is connected to iTunes, and it plugs up a hack that allowed the installation of unauthorized third-party applications.
Additionally, as with almost all firmware updates it patches a few random bugs, none of which were reported as critical.
The update is available through iTunes, and will be prompted when users plug sync their iPod Touch to the music store. It is also available from Apple.com.
