Can someone explain what the "Databases" settings is in Safari?

As stated, there is video out. There are 2 cables available depending on the TV plugs but I've done it a few times with the cables and it works great for movies and TV shows. Not quite full resolution but looks good on a 30-inch LCD screen. The cables connect via the docking port and also include a USB plug so you can plug it into power at the same time. The same cables work with other video iPods for the same output as I have used an iPod Nano as well.

I too have been waiting for a Slingbox interface. Some schools of thought believe it is AT&T keeping this app away as they want to have their own video service.

My Safari bookmarklet for "Open in new window" doesn't work anymore. This is a crucial functionality for me- anyone have any insight on this?

Well, since the output of the iPhone is locked at the screen resolution, I think you're much better off plugging your computer into the big screen. The iPhone's output will be a mite bit blocky, and not nearly as interesting as it looks on the iPhone.

How did the bookmarklet work? I haven't seen this before but sounds like it could be useful.

A co-worker, tired of hearing me brag about my iPhone, showed me her new T-Mobile G1. While it's no iPhone killer, she did show me something I had hoped would be in the new iPhone update but was not. She handed me the phone and there was a street view of Paris. She told me to turn my body around and the view of the street turned with me. The base of the Eiffel Tower came into view. I raised her G1 up and the view looked up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Very cool. I had hoped that the when the street view came to the iPhone it would have this function.

I'm pretty disappointed that none of the new maps features made it into the iPod touch software because of that same old Sarbanes-Oxley accounting BS again. There's not even an option to pay for it. We're basically screwed until the next update, I guess -- which is ridiculous, if that's the case.

There's also no Emoji in the Japanese keyboard settings (it seems you only get this if you have an iPhone with one of the three carriers in Japan -- apparently they assume that nobody who lives outside of Japan would want to communicate with anyone there). The Japanese support also still doesn't include a handwriting recognition mode, even though it would be essentially the same as the Chinese one (the characters are a mostly-identical subset of traditional Chinese ones).

Essentially, if you have an iPod touch, all you get with this update is a slightly different address bar in Safari (which is worse than the old one IMO), the ability to press the home button to return to the first home screen, and a slightly improved App Store (other than the fact that app updates aren't working at all now, because everyone is hammering the store for the update).

Oh, and you can download Podcasts directly on it, which is useless to me.

Lame.
