“bndoarn” from the forums over at MacRumors (link in title), has put together a list of over 90 new features not publicized in the iPhone & iPod Touch firmware update.
Most of the updates are not something you’d immediately notice as new but stuff you’d probably run across accidentally and think “I didn’t know my iPod did that?”
Here are some of my favorites:
• When the is iPhone vertical, videos played through the iPod app will fit to screen. In 2.X they always played as if the iPhone was horizontal.
• when typing lol auto correct no longer makes it LOL
• Clicking an iCal link (subscription calendar link) will ask you if you want to subscribe to that calendar.
• Safari now has a phishing warning
• shake to shuffle is now on the iPhone/iPod Touch
• when listening to a podcast, you now have the options to email the link, rewing 30 seconds, or chose the playback speed (1/2x, 1x or 2x)
• smart playlist now update on the device. previously they wouldn’t update until the next time you synced it with iTunes. this means that if you have a smart playlist to include all songs with a rating of 5 stars, whenever you rat a song on the device, it automatically moves to the playlist.
There is way more on the forum post, if you really want to geek out on this.
So far I am really loving this update on my second generation iPod Touch. It has made my little pocket Internet device way more useful.
