It does not support Bluetooth tethering, and the ad-hoc hack only works
if you jailbreak the phone/iPod.

Hey iPod Touch users out there,

Has anyone tried using the Cisco VPN client (part of the 2.0 upgrade)
successfully?

Does anyone know if the 2.0 upgrade for the Touch supports Bluetooth
tethering?
I hear the current hack is to use an Ad Hoc WiFi connection.

Thanks,

I agree with Jacob. While I always welcome something for free.. $10 is a
small
price to pay for the added security, applications, and Exchange support.

MS Exchange integration works flawlessly. Only thing you can't see is
your tasks

lost.  
        
        In my book, the new features are worth the 10 bucks.  Most users
will
forget that security fixes were even included.

        Thanks for the summary Lee.  I am totally on-board with the
ability to
do WPA Enterprise at all being great.  I just wanted to make sure I
wasn't the
only one seeing some strangeness. 
        
        I was going to take a look at the config tool anyway, but I will
give
that a shot and then see what issues remain.
        
        The charge for 2.0 for Touch users is totally ridiculous. It
will stink
that there a bunch of Touches on campus that are missing those security
fixes
and the ability to use the configuration profiles, just because there is
a 10
dollar charge for it.
        
        Thanks,

        We have seen a few things so far, I consider these
circumstantial but
very consistent:
        
        -      some users want to simply point at the secure SSID
without
setting up the profile. In the iPhone, I see no prompting at all for any
certs,
etc., just spins it's obnoxious little wheel until it times out and
jumps over
to a non-secure WLAN
        -      even when setting the right profile settings, rebooting
the
iPhone usually needs a reboot to find the WPA network
        -      if you use the pre-configure tool as opposed to manually
setting
it up, the user experience is a lot quicker and more consistent
        -      regardless of how you get set up, there is a lot of
variability
in the smoothness of transitioning between WLANs, especially secure and
non-secure. My other hand-helds (iPaq, Palm TX) have no such issues on
same
networks from same places
        -      You'll note that there seems to be no place in the
settings to
enter a specific auth server, leaving a potential vector for
man-in-the-middle
fun.
        
        All this being said- the fact that you can point the iPhone to
the
secure WLAN and connect is in itself a huge gain for those who have been
demanding it. We'll keep on watching and observing as this product and
it's
processes mature. I will say that I find the fee for iPod Touch upgrades
to get
the 2.0 software somewhat disgusting, given the laundry list of security
fixes
that are included. Seems like it should have been a free patch.
        
        Ah well:-)

        Is anyone else still seeing "erratic" behavior with any
iPhones/iPod
Touches running 2.0?  I have had some strange problems with mine and
some others
here.  When trying to connect to my WPA2 PEAP-MSCHAPv2 network, for a
while it
wouldn't prompt me to accept our self-signed cert.  After resetting the
network
settings (Settings -> General -> Reset) it prompted me and connected
just fine.
Then I go home and can no longer connect to my WPA2-PSK network there
after
putting the password in.  A day later, it worked fine! 
        
        Other people here have seen some similar strange issues.
Sometimes
turning the WiFi adapter off and back on is enough to take care of it,
sometimes
not.  Sometimes resetting all the network stuff helps, but again,
sometimes not.

        Lee, are you able to get iPhone 2.0 with WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
working?
        thanks.
