Hmm...well so far, as a 1st gen touch user, the only thing that I would really even consider getting this update for would be in-app purchasing if some of my favorite games have some cheap stuff I'd like to get. Hell, I'll probably end up getting it no matter what, it'll just be a few weeks to a month from now.
Apple is gonna be screwing you though cuz they're requiring new games to all be compatible with 3.0, and prob not older versions. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really just getting it for doom classic over bluetooth.
Ah crap. -_- Well that's great. It looks like i'm going to be forced to get it then if I want to get new games. Apple is evil sometimes.
I'm gonna be getting it, but what ever happened to the new iPod touch? I thought the iPod touch has a new model for every new version (1.0, 2.0...). I'm still on 1st gen. Only games I really need are Tap Tap Revenge 2, The Sims 3, Need for Speed: Undercover, DoodleJump, Car Jack Streets, DinoSmash Online, and Tetris. I look forward to Peer-to-Peer.
Don't worry, no dev in his or her right mind would not make a game compatible with 2.1 at least until 4.0. I'm not going to pay $10.00 for bluetooth and copy/paste. I only know two people with touches and I would not meet them just to play games and don't type (except it might come in handy to get promo codes).
Devs wouldn't do it in their right mind, but apple is gonna start making them. I really don't care though it's not that much money, and we are gettin bluetooth unlocked. First gen ipods though it's kind of pointless unless apple forces devs. Whenever I'm hanging out with my friends, we always have our ipods, so i'm really excited to play doom over bluetooth. I've said that like twenty times I'm just super hyped.
Is anyone else getting the "unable to access the itunes store" when on their idevice's appstore? EDIT: nvm, just stopped
No, Apple is forcing devs to make their apps COMPATIBLE with 3.0. This does not mean that Apple is going to force devs to make apps incompatible with 2.1. Most new games should work with the old firmware. It's just the DLC and bluetooth stuff that won't. EDIT: the only things on the 40 features list that appeal to me are 13, 17, 25, 29, and 30 and none of them are necessities. Not enough to justify $10.00 in my opinion unless the DLC content is really, really good. Will the iPods even have bluetooth?
Apple won't force devs but it will all depend on if you can live without the features of 3.0 or certain games that will require you to have 3.0 to play. I remember PG just not long ago requiring 2.2.1 for their update when I was running 2.2. I think Assassin's Creed also required 2.2.1 as well. So I would not doubt there will be apps/games that require minimum of 3.0 down the line, so just be prepared.
i doubt tonight but prob sometime today...If i was apple i would say it was coming out the 18th, and really release it the 17th, just to prevent so many people staying up all night today. It's too late for that now obviously.
Its the 17th here is Australia and still no release Guess ill have to wait till tomorrow..... Also on another note, will this be the release of the $20 applications section in itunes?
I was in an Apple Store today. (1) My Wi-Fi Terminator Salvation Lite Edition download I'd briefly started off last night picked up and finished while I was in the store...oops, I have set my iPhone to automatically connect and forgot... no, honest, stop sniggering there at the back!! (And a side note, I wasn't that impressed by it when playing it on the bus ride home) (2) I asked when OS 3.0 would hit Australia. MIDNIGHT, buckos. (3) I bought a $15 iTunes gift card to pick from anything big that's released with it. Harbor Master is a definite and Castle of Magic is an almost definite so that's already have the card gone... oh well. Won't be getting it until the sun sticks his head out for some eggs on toast - just in case there are any major issues.
i think it's silly making AUS wait 'til midnight just so they don't get it first because honestly only a few will actually stay up so really they get it last and UK, USA etc. all get it first, totally defeating the object.
