I find it how iphonehacks made a mistake, wiht the pricing of the 64GB itouch. $3.99 for an ipod touch 64GB is really cheap. lol it should be #399.
Yup, corrected it. Thanks Kwopau
What?! Nothing about the white iphone 4?!?! Shites!!!
So i didnt see anything about iOS 4.1? So no update for proximity sensor?
4.1 was introduced the first thing he started. It will be out next week.
iOS 4.1 will be released next week and it will include the fix for proximity sensor, bluetooth problems and iPhone 3G performance issues.
I liked the new ipod touch models, but of course i have the iphone 4, so no plan on getting those.
I especially liked the new design of the ipod nano.
Yeah iPod nano looks pretty cool.
You missed the rear-facing cam in the Update just fyi
Anybody who expected an even thinner touch, with both front and rear-Racing cam? :O
ok thanx guys.. sorry.. i missed that part
