Yes, for me too on my iPod 1G, i get volume control only when i have headphones plugged in. Otherwise it just has ‘Dock Connector’ written at its place.

I have a 1st generation iPod touch and the volume control is there, but only when I have headphones plugged in.

@Johnny B Gud:
I had the same problem, heres how i solved it:
if you have an iPod universal dock, connect your touch to it. play a song and press home. using the dock’s remote, change the volume. Now the onscreen volume controller should be back. I have no idea why this happens and if you don’t have a dock, i don’t know how to fix it.

I stand corrected—Phil Schiller does say the iPhone 3G S will load Sim City 2.4X faster at 1:43:13 into the keynote. Thanks, guys.

Confirming David Parry’s method of getting to iTouch-wide Spotlight search. It’s also accessible if you double-press the Home button from the home screen (assuming your setting are default).

Personally, the long-awaited cut-and-paste ability alone made it worth it to upgrade my 1st-gen. Search will probably change the way I use the iTouch as well.

The 2.5X speed enhancement is when using a top-of-the-line 32 GB iPhone 3G S with it’s 600 MHZ processor and the new graphics chip. You’d be lucky just to get a small speed improvement on your old school Touch. You should realize that no software optimization alone is going to increase the speed by that much.

They never said SimCity would open 2.5x faster due to the OS upgrade. They were talking about the extra processing power in the iPhone 3G S.

Am i missing something here. i updated my first generation i touch yesterday, went fine BUT now when i double tap the home button to change the volume of the i pod it comes up saying dock connector… AND when im playing songs i have no way to adjust the volume at all… the volume control seem to be gone all together.
Done a restore on the i pod and its still no there… Whats the story with that, is my ipod bricked????

The search function is on the 1g ipod touch it is there when you scroll left on the first page of your apps.
