Four. Count them. Four.

iOS devices.

Four.

And iOS is going to become a really popular mobile operating system. I can feel it.

My main interest was the iPod Touch, and I am really satisfied! Only thing to make it better would be to have still and video camera on both cameras.

I didn't say iOS 4 was on the nano. But it does clearly use a version of iOS meant for the small screen.

I think Apple is having technical difficulties with getting iTunes 10 out. Steve did say today, but the website says "Soon" and iTunes says 9.2.1 is the current version.

Mmmm that's not exactly what I was saying. I know it is available, however, Apple is pointing users to download iTunes 9, and after checking for updates, iTunes reports that 9.2.1 is the current version, and Software Updates says there are no updates available.

Well after checking back, it no longer says "Coming Soon".

But still if I check for iTunes update in iTunes, 9.2.1 is still the version. So maybe Apple is a being a bit slow here. I don't know.

Is it safe to download it from the website?

Software Update is still saying "No New Updates"
:Confused:


By the way, when is iOS 4.1 coming out? And what devices are supported this time?

Working fine for me. I assume that it came from the Apple site that is was OK. :)

4.1 is slated to be released next week, and should cover the same devices as the initial 4.x release did. 4.2 is the iPad version that is slated for November.

I don't have to uninstall iTunes 9 or anything? The downloaded iTunes 10 will just update it?

I don't know why I'm suddenly asking this- maybe it's because if I did this on Windoze, I'd get screwed. Just making sure that nothing unwanted happens.

Nope, it went right over the top and updated. Yes, you are on a Mac so no worries! :D Worked perfectly for me.

Time Machine is doing the "continuous back-up" option (updates every hour or something like that).

Software Update just came up and found the iTunes 10 update, while I was downloading the .dmg from Apple's website. Here goes.


EDIT:

iTunes 10 up and running. I guess I just needed to wait about 12 hours.

So, anybody wanna Ping me?

The nano most certainly is iOS. Perhaps not as fully fleshed out as its bigger brother and lacking an app store, but it most certainly is iOS. And if the Apple TV isn't running iOS, then what is it running?

I still do not consider the new nano UI to be iOS. When something says it is "for iOS" whatever they are talking about will not work on the nano... Just because has the same visual style doesn't make it the same. when an update is released for iOS, I'm sure it won't apply to the nano. calling the nano iOS is like calling windows phone 7 windows 7, or calling a gameboy NES.

And the apple TV runs it's own software, similar to front row, but with more features this time around.
