Interestingly, Rose also notes that the revamped iPod touch will be the first and only device to ship with the 2.1 software. Apple will then release the 2.1 update for iPhone, &#8220;shortly&#8221; after. The 2.1 software is rumored to include &#8216;Push&#8217; capabilities which will integrate with Apple&#8217;s remote cloud to form the new &#8216;Push Notification Service&#8217;. This service is said by Apple, to keep a persistent IP connection to applications that need it, (for example, Mobile Chat 3), to provide status updates when an application is closed.<\/p>\n<p>After saying this, Apple recently seeded a beta of 2.1 to it&#8217;s developers, and surprisingly had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2008\/08\/16\/iphone-2-1-beta-4-seeded-removes-push-notification-service\/\">completely removed<\/a> all &#8216;Push&#8217; capabilities from the version of iPhone OS.<\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2008\/08\/22\/new-ipod-nano-ipod-touch-itunes-8-0-blu-ray-in-10-6\/\">Mac Rumors<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/kevinrose.com\/blogg\/2008\/8\/23\/new-ipods-coming-very-soon.html\">Kevin Rose<\/a><\/p>\n<p>R-Fly<\/p>\n<hr size=\"10\" \/>\n<hr size=\"4\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, has claimed to have new information of upcoming iPod refreshes and iTunes updates.
