iPod Touch 5th gen & SMS relay & Phone Calls in iOS 8.1

[Rolandh]

After purchasing a 5th gen iPod Touch this afternoon & updating it to iOS 8.1 both SMS Relay & Phone calls work between my iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1 & my iPod Touch 5th gen. Not had chance to see if email & iWork Handoff/Continuity work yet though.

Sweet... It is an awesome feature

Yeah, it now makes the iPod a pocketable iPad meaning that you can use it as your phone around the house without having to carry your phone with you all the time (handy for when your phone is charging).

The 5th gen also supports Handoff & suggested Apps, but as it's not supported on my 4S I've not been able to try it out.

I'll have to take my iPod with me the next time I go near my local Apple Store and try out the Suggested Apps feature.
