iOS4 on iPod Touch 2nd generation

Yesterday I have updated the OS on my iPod Touch 2nd generation to the latest release: iOS4. Because I have an “outdated” model I cannot enjoy the most appealing new features: multitasking and custom home wallpapers. While I can live well without the latter, the former would have been tremendously useful. The UI has changed a bit towards being more flashy (but it’s a decent kind of flashiness). Also browsing through applications feels snappier. Another nice feature which I’ll start using soon is the ability to organize your apps into folders.

The upgrade has its bad parts as well: a few of the applications I use frequently (AccuWeather amongst others) close unexpectedly. I will wait for another week or so for application upgrades but if they fail to appear in this time period I’m afraid I’m going to switch back to iPhone OS 3.1.3.

I really wonder how the new iPhone works and feels.

P.S. I am still drooling after a 15″ MacBook Pro.

    Not necessarily. But I do enjoy high quality products.

    After spending 4 hours upgrading to iOS4 today, I realized I can’t use some of the best features this update has to offer. Granted, the folders seem nice, but the multi-tasking would have been great. I also didn’t realize when I bought my iPod less than 6 months ago that the store was apparently still selling 2G models…I thought I had a 3G.

    Both are fails on my fault, but still disappointing.
