The New iPod Touch Firmware Is Finally Here!

After a wait, the New ipod Touch firmware update has arrived. The update costs $9.95 (£5.99) and here are a list of features that are available.

The App Store

The App Store is the applications store, a place where you can purchase other little pieces of software. This is the main part of the software update.  Some of these apps are very impressive by using all of the ipod Touch’s features including accelerometer, touch screen, great picture quality and excellent sound quality.

MobileMe:

The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch includes support for MobileMe, a new service that automatically keeps all your information up to date on every device you use.  Changes to your email, contacts, and calendar are pushed to the MobileMe “cloud,” which then pushes them to your Mac, PC, or WiFi-connected iPod touch.
