Is Ipod Touch good?

well, friend of mine got it...
he is happy!
so must be good.

 

I am still waiting on mine i bought from Ebay

I cant wait to use it!

 

yup definatly worth the money especially if you jailbreak it....

 

I have played with it so much at work, and I think its a nice device but not worth the price

The touch screen is very fun to play with but after awhile you will suffer from how small the hard drive is whether it is the 8gb or the 16 gb

 

Yes, it is worth the money for sure. I love mine. I actually installed the installer hack and I have added so much more to it.

 

I am waiting till feb when apple plan to release SDK (third part apps)

if they arent good then i will just jailbreak it

 

I love mine, I have nothing to complain about. I have one for my car and one for carrying around and I always have it on me.

 

I just bought one to use during an upcoming vacation and I am throughly impressed.

The worst feature is the non changeable battery. So don't expect to have it forever.

 

Just 500$???

In my country it's about 900$

 

Wow over here in aus it is also around 500 for a 16gb, 900 is way too much

 

Yeah.. they arn't bad, wireless net is awesome.

 

they break easy a cany get mine to switch on after 3 weeks use!!

 

its 400 for 16gb and 300 for 8gb here in the USA

 

yea thats about right but you can get a brand new one off of ebay for about 300 for the 16Gb.....but thats just a matter of looking at the right time and you can go even cheaper if you dont mind refurbished

 

If you haven't jailbroken your ipod touch, then you really should get on it, I've now got msn, e-books, and am installing a mail checker on it.

To get this, first go to your settings>>general>>about, and find out what firmware you have.

If you have 7.1.1. , then you're in luck, just go to your ipod touch and type this on safari-> www.jailbreakme.com , scroll down and "Install Appsnapp" Safari will close and it will now download. It will take a minute or two, so don't touch anything. You'll then be asked to slide you finger, and then you'll see an installer.app
From then on, it's all good, you can download anything you want. If you want to update to 1.1.2 then have oktoprep installed through the installer.app and update to 7.1.2 through Itunes.

If you have 7.1.2, it's a lot harder.
1- Go here This is the Ituens 7.1.1 firmware.
2-Connect your Ipod to your PC/MAC.
3-Go to your Ipod on Itunes, and go to the part where it asks if you want to update or restore. Don't hit restore or you have to do all this sh*t again. If you're on Windows, hold shift while clicking, and if you're on a mac, hold option while clicking. If option doesn't work, click on it while holding alt.
4- Select the 1.1.1 firmware that you downloaded from the link above.
5- You now have 7.1.1. Surprised Follow instructions for 7.1.1. above.

Jailbreaking 7.1.2.
1-Eject your device from itunes
2-Close Itunes fully
3- Download and extract http://rapidshare.com/files/72237156/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip that program.
4- If you have windows, and already have java installed, just double click on the windows.bat file. If you're on Mac, double click on the jailbreak.jar file

There is no way to "brick" your iTouch if anything happens you just restore it. There are quite a few great guides on how to do it for an iTouch with any of the firmwares.

Your short guide on installing apps is good, same with your jailbreak 1.1.1 but your 1.1.2 i think is not very clear and missing a few things. I think these guides below tell in a little more detail for those wanting to do it but dont completly understand whta it includes.

There is now also firmware 1.1.3 that the new iPods have..... Because firmware 1.1.3 is very new id suggest using youtube and looking at iPodTouchMaster's videos they are normally pretty good. If you have firmwares 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 the go to http://oversite.org/iPodTouchPc.html if you have a Pc or if you have a Mac http://oversite.org/iPodTouchMac.html for full guides on how to do it.

 

Agree, I think he's thinking of an iPhone

 

If you use AT&T then I would spend the extra $100 to get an iPhone

 

Same here but for me its unpractical
