What the hell is wrong with Apple.. firstly they attract the customers with 9400+9600 GT in MB Pro and then they disable its Hybrid SLI and on the fly graphics switching.. Someone at Apple really needs to be fired for all these stupid decisions.. To switch the graphics card, one needs to logout and then login.. a needless procedure..

You are using a technological marvel, and so you shouldn't complain. Apple will not be happy

No they dont. And this is real.

@OP: Why blame the Apple hardware Guys ? The hardware *still* fully supports it. Its only a question about their software implementation which un(der)utilizes the hardware.

I am not entirely sure if the iPod Touch has Bluetooth or not but if it does have it, it is present just for the Nike+ thing. Apple only allows using a Bluetooth headset or maybe not even that in the iPhone 3G so why would they give full bluetooth functionality in the iPod Touch?

This is absolutely outrageous. What the hell is the point of the 9400? In case you need weaker graphics?!
