Major highlights are integrated Spotlight search; the ability to (finally, for some) cut, copy and paste; access to movies, TV, and music videos on the iTunes music store; Push for supported applications (which essentially receives data, such as new IMs in Aim or messages in Facebook even when they're not running - this wasn't the case before); Bluetooth support; peer-to-peer support for future App store games; and the ability to record voice memos (which is nice, but useless on the iPod Touch unless you have an external mic plugged in. Smaller changes abound, such as improvements to existing apps and new languages. I consider it a significant upgrade for something I paid $9.95 for, but some of these new features should have been supported in the first place. I snagged the update last night.
