Re: iPod Touch Fifth Gen headset has no microphone
If it has no microphone, how can it handle Skype calls? Or voice dictation of any sort? Did the latest iPod Touch get Siri, or was that restricted to the iPad 3 and the iPhones 4s and 5? If the latest Touch has Siri, it needs to have a microphone somewhere or it won't be able to perceive what we're saying.

I am talking about the iPod Touch, both third and fourth Generation iPod Touches came with the same headset as the iPhones which of course included a microphone.

As for the home button, I personally do not see a problem with it. The unit appears to be very responsibe. Still, I think that the extra money, even for an iPod 16 GB, would be well spent. Cheers.

Since the iPod Touch Fifth Gen is now shipping Rob mentioned that iFixIt.com of course did their close examination of it’s guts. Among other things they discovered that unlike the iPhone 5 which has 1 Gig of RAM the iPod Touch continues to have only 512 Mb along with the A5 processor which we already knew. They also mentioned that the home button design apparently is not as good as that of the iPhone 4S or 5, I guess we’ll have to wait and see if iPod Touch users will have issues with the home key over time. Lastly, Rob said that apparently the ear pods that ship with the iPod Touch have no microphone which is almost too weird to believe and, if so, I think Apple should be ashamed to skimp on that just to save a couple of bucks especially since the iPod Touch Fifth Gen has SIRI and Facetime. Maybe some of those who received their iPod Touch Fifth Gen can confirm that although I doubt IFixIt would get it wrong. In the end it’s not a deal breaker, but it basically means Apple not only maybe saves a few Dollars by designing the ear pods without microphone but they also force people who plan to use their iPod Touch a lot for Skype and so on to buy an extra set of ear pods; this is almost bad enough so that I would buy a third party headset just in order not to give Apple the extra $30.

Re: Deleting an App from the App Store
I kept getting an error like that yesterday. I didn't find a way to get rid of that app from my update list. However, the good news is, TODAY, when I went to update apps on my list, the update for that app downloaded with no problem. So my thought is to give the App Store glitch a few hours to straighten itself out, and try again.

Re: Left side loud speaker
If you mean what looks like two speakers on the bottom of the phone -- even though they are made to look the same, one is actually a microphone, and the other is a speaker. I had exactly the same question when I first got my iPhone 4S last year -- I thought they were both speakers, and one wasn't working. I did a bunch of treasure-hunting on Google, trying to figure out what was wrong, until I hit on the right search combo and realized that the phone was OK after all. Thank goodness.

Re: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?
One drawback of a "who is near me" command is that it most likely would have to be a feature that is enabled by each person -- in other words, the person would have to be willing to share their location (broadcast it, actually) in order to make themselves findable. Not everyone is comfortable with doing that. Does this capability currently exist in iOS or even Android? I know that the ability exists to transmit one's location at a given address. But is it possible yet to narrow that down to "broadcasting where we are in a large room, so others in the room can find us"?

Re: The new youtube app
If I understand right, the pre-loaded YouTube app is going to go away when we upgrade to iOS 6.
