Apple has just released a Knowledge Base document detailing a number of potential fixes for one of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems that have plagued iPod touch and iPhone handhelds. The article specifically addresses the inability to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth due to not seeing the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi address on the device. This includes getting a Wi-Fi signal but not being able to access the Internet, not being able to pair a Bluetooth device, and having the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth icon grayed out.
Four solutions are proposed in a step-by-step manner. The solutions range from resetting the network settings to restoring the device back to a bare 3.0 install, which erases all data. No worries there, since you can always re-sync your device with the information on its host computer, assuming you have a current backup.

With all the hoopla about the iPhone 3GS’s speed, what about its little non-cellular brother, the touch? I took a second-generation touch, (reportedly sporting a 533-MHz ARM processor, versus the 3GS’s 600-MHz chip).
I ran the touch through a battery of performance tests before and after the OS upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0, and compared the results with those for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Apple’s iPod Touch is one of highest-rated MP3 players on CNET, but it’s also one of the most expensive, starting at $230. That’s a lot of money to drop on an MP3 player, especially when a touch-screen competitor like the Samsung P3 delivers many of the same features as the Touch, for about $80 less. The price difference is dramatic, but it’s unclear whether the Touch is suffering from an inflated ego, or the P3’s price is too good to be true.
To determine which of these touch-screen, music- and video-playing portable beauties is really worth your time and money, we’ve subjected each device to five rounds of criticism from three of our toughest judges. So let’s stretch those fingers, and break out the good headphones, because the battle of CNET’s top touch screen media players is about to begin.
About the judges
