iOS devices will be able to stream music and videos and photos. AirPlay is, of course, the renamed version of the AirTunes technology that let you stream music from iTunes via an AirPort Express. What’s unclear-at least to some of us at Macworld-is whether the update will add AirPlay support to the iPod touch and the iPhone. That software update-which is also set to arrive for other devices next week, probably at the same time as the new touch starts shipping-adds a number of features to iOS 4.0. Alternatively, if you know that the person you’re calling has an iPhone 4, you can simply tap that phone’s number in the Contact screen and the iPod touch will place a FaceTime call. On the contact’s screen will be a FaceTime button. (You can add more e-mail addresses by entering them in the FaceTime section of the Settings app.) To make a call just open a contact (you can choose contacts from Favorites, Recents, and Contacts screens within the FaceTime app or select a contact within the Contacts app). When you first launch the FaceTime app on the touch, you’re asked to enter your e-mail address. How will FaceTime work on the iPod touch? Unlike FaceTime on the iPhone 4, however, which up until now has used phone numbers to initiate FaceTime calls, FaceTime on the iPod touch is based on e-mail addresses. That’s one of the marquee features in this generation of the iPod touch, thanks to a new dedicated FaceTime app. So does the front-facing camera mean the iPod touch now supports FaceTime?
