Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The new iTouch also comes with an integrated
speaker, the volume controls for which are side-mounted on the device.
Otherwise, to be honest, there is not a lot to write about here.
You will get the same Genius playlist functionality as mentioned in our previous story and if you have one of those Nike + iPod things then all the software and receiver stuff is built-in.
The iTouch is available immediately and will cost USD $229 for the 8GB
model, USD $299 for 16GB and USD $399 for the top of the range 32GB.
New to the 700 or so games already available in the App Store, there
are new ones that bring the arcade to the new iTouch including car
racing and footie games. Oh, and also new is a TV advert for the iTouch
if anyone really cares about such things.
Perhaps more exciting than the new iTouch is the final announcement
from Let's Rock, that of 2.1 firmware for the iPhone and iTouch. A free
upgrade for 2.0 users but a USD $9.99 purchase for everyone else.
We are told it fixes bugs, lots of them. However, more detail is not as
yet available. Keep an eye on iTWire during the day for more
information as it becomes available. All we have been told is that
there should be no more dropped calls or web browser crashes.
Oh, and the iTunes backup is promised to be much faster.
You will have to wait until at least Friday for this though, and given the problems and delays that existed when the 2.0 firmware was released it could be much longer in reality.
We were, sadly, correct when we said that there would be no new MacBook revealed at the Let's Rock event today.
Keep tuned to iTWire during the day for more detailed analysis of these announcements...
