Is there a compelling reason to upgrade to Touch 2G?

I have a 1G Touch with the 2.1 software. Though speakers might be a nice thing, it's not necessarily a deal-breaker for me not to have one. Nike+ is nice as well, but I likely would not use my Touch for that (I have a 3G Nano). Voice recording is nice, but there's no way I'll drop the $$$ for the cord. Is there anything else that's not mentioned that would make it worthwhile? Perhaps a faster CPU or longer battery? If it's just the 3 things I've listed above (aside from the slimmer form factor) I'll stick with my 1G.

I'm keeping my 16GB 1G until there is a >32GB 2G Touch.
Since I got the 3G iPhone, I really appreciate the speakers for those times I don't want 'phones and volume isn't the primary issue.
They are small, so of course it's not like using 'phones or a stereo, but in a quiet environment, they're great.
I also use the 3G with some of the ambient noise apps to play sounds to sleep/study to.

  • Is there really a reason to upgrade?

    From what I can gather the only thing the 3G will do for me that my current iphone can't do is slightly fatser web browsing (when not on wifi) and GPS. Is that right?

    In essence yes you're right.
    It's all down to needs I guess. I don't need 3G or GPS. My main wish was for Exchange support (check!).
    3G is not what I'm excited about it's the GPS. Now I've had GPS in other phones, but GPS + iPhone + Google Maps & Apps kinda leaves me a bit hungry for a new phone
    If I can upgrade easily on O2 UK I will, if I can't then I'll have to wait

  • Hey there, for some reason, on my iPod Touch 4th gen, I have never been able to get iMessage to work.When I verify my email address to activate it, it automatically goes back and never allows me to do iMessage. Why is this or what should I do?

    What should I do? This is a great feature, and I want to take advantage of it. Thank you!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>General>Date&Time and make sure it is set to Automatic
    - Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in

  • Reasons to upgrade cisco ASA

      HI
    I have two Cisco ASA 5540, these ASA running ver 7.2. and used mainly as VPN gateways.
    My question is simple, Apart from the extra AnyConnect client functionality and the higher encryption, is there any specific security benefits (related to the VPN use) for upgrading to ver. 8.x ?
    Thanks
    A.

    Ammar,
    Each version has Release Notes. For the ASA they are all posted here.
    In each Release Note there is a "Resolved Caveats" sections. That is where the fixes for all problems - vulnerabilities as well as functions/features - are listed.
    Besides higher encryption and Anyconnect client, you can also use IKE v2 (as of 8.4(1) ) which is more secure during session setup (apart from the level of encryption). You can also use identity-based features and a host of other features to further secure your remote access VPNs. On the other hand, if what you have now is meeting your needs, the only compelling reasons to upgrade are vulnerability and bug fixes (and perhaps a prettier version of ASDM that will run with the newest Java versions ).

  • What compelling reasons are there for UK users to upgrade nano - vid ipod?

    Hi,
    I just wanted to point out a very fundamental flaw in Apples grand plan at the minute (at least as far as the UK is concerned).
    I'm a recent convert...I love Apple....I breathe Apple ...I buy their products everyday but at the minute I see no compelling reason to buy a Video Ipod or buy the iTV.
    Theres one simple answer....CONTENT
    Tell me what content there is that makes the iTV or the Video Ipod a worthwhile buy for UK users and I'm not counting music video's here as not everyone likes that.
    TV Shows - Why doesnt iTunes UK have TV shows yet ????. The BBC loves new digital media and is spending loads of $$$ on it. They're launching simulcast 3G streaming on UK mobile networks (Virgin Mobile) so it seems silly to me that Apple hasn't at least negotiated a contract with them. For UK users, who here would love to be able to pay 99p to put last nights Eastenders episode on their iPod ?. Or what about paying for premium shows like Dr Who or the X-Factor from iTV. The fact that Apple is still to talk to the BBC and ITV and sort out something seems ridiculous to me. Also I'd love to pay for stuff like 24 and Lost and Battlestar Galactica and I'd prefer to not have to mess around buying itunes gift cards from the states. While it's technically feasible it's WAY too much hard work to buy gift cards off ebay or to find someone who will send you itunes US gift vouchers :/. If these shores were available in the UK store chargeable to my own CC's the chances of me getting a video iPod would skyrocket.
    Note - the BBC has stuff available online for FREE including shows like Dragons Den !!!!
    Films - We HOPE to go international in 2007. There is no cast iron guarentee that the UK itunes store will ever have movies.
    So really the question is..
    What does Apple have in terms of CONTENT that makes either a Video Ipod or an iTV a wortwhile purchase at this time?
    The answer is NOTHING
    As much as I love Apple and their products (I have a Macbook and a Nano) I see no compelling reason to buy either of these products at this time.

    According to press releases, etc., Apple is coming out with a voice recording headset/microphone. Also, I had suspected that using an iPhone headset would also work, so try that if you can pick one up on eBay or if you already have one.
    A year ago, I purchased a MicroMemo by Xtreme Mac and used it with a 3rd gen. I bought a 4th-gen. only for music, but I was kinda hoping my $50 external mic would work with it. It does, actually, despite reports to the contrary. It even allows me to insert chapter markers, which will be great for recording interviews.
    Here is the post I wrote about this issue a few weeks back: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8207488#8207488
    I have had good experience with the MicroMemo. It allows me to run a line in or use the external mic. This means I can record from another source such as my computer or my telephone. Recording from my cordless phone required the purchase of a $20 accessory from Radio Shack, but since I interview people regularly, it was worth it to me.

  • Are there good reasons to upgrade to FCE version 4?

    Hi, I am currently using FCE 3.5.1 I'm thinking that it just might be time to upgrade. Are there some really good reasons to upgrade to Version 4? Does 4 come bundled with LiveType 2.1, or does it at least have animated type options? Most importantly, in the audio realm, does it actually allow you to hear audio filers (such as an equalizer) in real time as you tweak them? If not, do you know if Final Cut Pro has substantially better audio features than FCE?
    I appreciate your input. Bob

    "Can you do that on 3.5?"
    Yes. What format is the media you're using? There is no way you should have to render an EQ on a MacPro unless you have a lot of tracks. In which case, push up the number of realtime tracks in user preferences. Normal drives should be able to handle 24 tracks in realtime. The tracks count adds in effects as well as a track each.
    What kind of animated text do you want? Title 3D and Title Crawl can be animated.
    Apple has never sold a pro app upgrade via download. Only updates are available via download. It has never sold recent versions of FCE separately from LiveType, or LiveType separately from Final Cut. It has always been a bundled application and has never been available as a download. Do you have a torrent copy of the application?

  • Compelling reasons for having CE in addtional to NW EP

    What would be the compelling reasons to convince the management to have another server running CE 7.1.1 in addition to the NW 7.0 EP server that we already have?
    My company is doing some custom in-house development using WDJ and VC.
    We would be moving to NW 7.0 EhP1 in the near future.
    Is there anything that CE has that NW 7.01 doesn't that will provide the reasons for separately installing a CE server?
    The following are what I've gathered so far:
    a. The new WDJ AJAX features only be available in CE 7.1 and will not be downported to NW7.0: /people/oliver.mayer/blog/2008/11/17/web-dynpro-java-and-ajax-in-sap-netweaver-ce-71-enhancement-package-1
    b. CE is lightweight, no KM or Collaboration
    c. CE can have a different upgraded path on its own
    d. BPM and BRM are on the CE, not NW
    Am I correct and is there any other reasons?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    there're several reasons why an additional CE server makes sense in your case. First of all I'd say that you save development costs. In regards to VC we save between 20% to 30% in our inhouse developments with VC CE 7.1. Using the model migration wizard of VC Ehp1 you can actually quite quickly migrate your model to VC CE.
    An other reason is higher performance at loading the VC iviews.when using HTML runtime.
    For WDJ I see the new features of VC CE Ehp1 as very helpfull, e.g. Drag and Drop support as well as flash islands. The extend CAF service features help you reduce development costs as well. Everything is just less time consuning.
    Hope this helps.

  • Reasons to upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 ?

    Hi Experts,
    We have CRM 4.0 working on our client system. Why should they upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 ?
    A few reasons that I can think of are :
    1)  SAP will not support CRM 4.0 -
    But they can get maintenance support from SAP although at a higher cost
    2) CRM WebClient - fast and easy to configure and maintain -
    but this is not so convincing a reason that they should upgrade   and then almost implement whole of CRM again. They already have Portal.
    3) Some new functionality added by SAP in the newer versions-----That is good but their business is working good with the existing functionality of CRM 4.0
    Please provide some compelling reasons so that we can ask our client to go for upgrade.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    Hi Vikas,
    Although your customer happy with the functions in CRM 4.0, and they are willing to pay extra money for extended maintenance fee. SAP will end the support of CRM 4.0 sooner for later.
    Other reasons I could mention:
    1. if there is Java stack then the support of jave stack and the jdk version 1.3.1 is ended.
    2. CRM architecture was changed since CRM 6.0 and and 7.0 provided New tools and assistants simplify, standardize, and reduce development effort significantly, i.e. less code development, more flexible customizing. From this prospective, 7.0 is the investment safe release for long-term
    3. Enhancement of existing functions, details can be found in CRM 7.0 Release notes
    4. If you use compoenent like TREX, definately you will be benefit from newer version, stable, faster etc.
    There should be a lot, and you can order upgrade value proposition service from SAP for formal evaluation.
    Cheers,
    Denny

    Having not received a call back yesterday as promised - again! - I phoned BT - again - today. Apparently we're getting a call from them on Wednesday. The seventh promise of that kind now. I told the BT chap I was sorry, but given our previous experiences, I couldn't trust what he said. He promised there would be a call. Just to make sure, I confirmed our contact details with him and, yes, you guessed it - they were incorrect! So we wouldn't have received the promised phone call. In the face of breathtaking incompetence, my partner and I are keeping our spirits up by betting on the next thing BT will screw up.

  • Reasons to upgrade

    I've been happily behind the curve (no pun intended) on my OS for some time now, still running 4.6, everything running very smoothly. TMO has now apparently approved 5.0 and I'm being prompted to upgrade by my MacDM. Are there any good reasons to do so? Thanks.

    You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
    On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
