Installed no problem and things do seem stable on Safari but I have noticed that WiFi keeps dropping.  Has anyone else noticed this?

One bug they didn’t fix is that Maps still shows the details of a route in km and not miles in the UK.

Loaded on my touch 1st gen no problem and now lossless files no longer skip.

Yes, I just noticed this too.

When I glanced at my iPhone, I saw the 3G symbol, meaning that it was no longer connected to my network. As soon as I went to unlock it, I received the Wifi symbol in just a few seconds.

Is this a good thing? I suppose disconnecting from the network when there isn’t any activity could be a good thing if the network is unsecure. Just my thought.

Kered (#20): I had the Maps application from day one on my 2G touch, but touch owners didn’t get the walking/transit directions and such that iPhones did in the 2.2 upgrade.  Ah well; maybe 3.0 will include it for another $10 or something….

I bricked two straight iPod 2g touches with this update, neither of which could be revived at the local Apple store, I’m waiting on my second replacement.  Either I somehow got a corrupt version of the firmware, my iTunes is busted up, or there is a problem with the USB port I’m using.  It seems to me that none of these issues should result in a useless iPod.

Has anyone noticed that the bug where some photos saved from Safari appear in low resolution in the Photos app has _not_ been fixed?

I should have added to the above… even though it is specifically listed as being addressed in 2.2.1.

I just purchased the BLACKBERRY STORM and am telling all who asked me about the iPhone why I changed. Because Apple is frigging stupid not to add COPY/PASTE and Flash and other issues which they promised 2 years ago.  D- Liars. I can’t believe I fed them $20,000 in referrals in Drs and lawyers and judges I know.. we all feel betrayed.  Maybe… a class action suit…

First…T Mack, Apple never promised copy and paste or Flash. Unless you know something I don’t.

Back to the actual topic of this article, though…just finished installing the new update on a 1st gen 32 GB touch, seems to no problems yet. Then again, I’ve had zero problems at all with any update so far for this lil device.

...all the same, I’m taking my shuffle with me to work tomorrow, *just in case* the new firmware craps out…

But there is a software 4 copy and paste! t is called Ipod Copy expert. Google it, and you’ll find it.

What would really help is a search function on the iTouch.

My iPhone is also dropping WiFi after a few minutes and doesn’t auto connect when browsing even with networks it knows. Auto discovery of available wireless networks doesn’t work either. I’m not sure when this stopped working but it used to work.

Everytime I attempt to upgrade my software on my ipod touch (second gen) to the 2.2.1, it ends seconds before stating “the network connection has timed out”
I don’t suppose anyone knows how to overcome this as it consequently limits the applications I can download.
And my internet access seems to be fine also.
