I am anticipating the new iPod touch OS update that is "apprently" coming soon. Here I'm going to lay down my fears and hopes for this new update.
Hopes
- Better application management
This seems to be a much needed improvement especially for those who have a lot of applications to manage.
- Error reporting
I think it would be a good idea for apple to have an error reporting system, and when needed have that download a fix or patch to deal with possible errors.
- Better battery life
A big issue for the iPod touch and iPhone, having the battery life last a bit longer would be a good idea
- More accurate tilt control
I find that even when holding the device flat or straight, the tilt feature on some applications activates, it would be nice to see a fix for this come soon.
Fears
- Stability issues/slow down's
Having a new OS might take up considerable resources that may cause some crashing/stability issues.
- Price
Personally I think the updates should be given free of charge to all users, as I feel that making people pay for an update is stupid. A typical example of apple's business practice of taking more money from you.
- Apps
I think that the app developers shouldn't constantly make people pay more money for OS 4 applications, when I got my first iPod touch I had to update as every app would only work on OS 3.
Hey, really interesting blog, You talk about all of the things i'm interested in!
ReplyDeleteWhat i'm hoping for with the next iPhone/touch is some HD features, something I think will happen now that iTunes have begun to sell HD shows. Maybe an isight camera for the front as well? That would be sweet.
I'm going to be doing some blogs on Mac vs. PC and the next iPhone/Touch so I hope you will have a read!
