Then they should do it with software developing too considering half the apps want to look for where you are but oops can't no gps in touch.

wow guess won't be buying new touch different back design and extra button.. meh bring on the gps in it already :\

How are they going to do gps... you'd have to preload google maps... or have a link where the maps are updated... hence why its only on a cell phone.

both use google maps and if that was the case then they mayaswell just give the flick on all the gps features that attempt to be used under the touch i mean if they are going to do it with the software people don't want half ass'd apps that try use a lacking or very flimsey feature they should just go all or nothing.

both do cache the maps during the session which is the point plus there's obviously plenty of space spare for it.

That would be quite a lot of wasted space just to store maps on there. You're better off having a separate GPS device in that case.

Yes but my gps doesnt act as a music player,pda , and games player also. The ipod touch would be able to do it all.

PS Isnt that how nav units do it now anyway? they have all the maps on them then you buy sd cards to update the preloaded ones. Why would the ipod touch do it any differently.

the touch has wifi.You can also preload them at home .

It does have wifi... but how many times have you been walking around the street or driving down the road and manage to keep the same wifi connection... if you can even find any... you'd be constantly connecting and reconnecting. Not good

And for preloading... I wonder how much space that'd use... especially on maximum magnification... you'd be better off buying a standalone gps.

Exactly, they can do it, but they wont, probably to keep it cheaper than the iPhone.

If only tho...

80GB is now 120GB. 160Gb gone.

iPod touch: 8GB is $229, 16GB is $299 and 32GB is $399

The new touch seems thicker....

Steve said it's thinner.

To be honest, i wouldnt mind using a couple of gigs of my Touch for maps, thats how GPS units do it...

2.1 for the iPhone - ""This is a big update, it fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster." Nice."

We'll hold you to that. Steve.

EDIT: That seems like 2.1 is just bug fixes. Oh great.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
