  2. After owning a psp for a year I would say itouch. The dselection of games for the PSP is shockingly bad and the ipod beats it on all of the other fronts in regard to web and music capabilities. I'd definitely swap my PSP for a touch.

    I want to get it as a gift for someone...and it's important...she mentioned the PSP to me before, saying it's cool and she likes it a lot! But I'm not sure if she's seen the touch and compared it to that!


    The PSP is great for games and watching movies.

    The iPod touch can be hacked (only reason I got it) and the multimedia capabilities are outstanding - more so than the PSP (second reason I got it). I never got the PSP web browser to actually work - I tried for ages and gave up, and nobody I know has a PSP so I couldn't play against them.


  4. iTouch all the way. New games are getting better all the time on it too. Plus as the others said it kicks arse in all aspects

    yep, I settled for the itouch. Can games and extra software be installed on it? I just ordered it and the guy in the store told me that you can't install any games or software on it

    (Officially) they need to be bought from the App Store (either on the iPod itself or via iTunes on your PC). I have 4 screens worth of games and other useful apps on my iTouch.

    So he's talking out of his bottom.

    He likely meant that you can't install 3rd party software. But speak to Drew about that, he may respectfully disagree

    You don't mind if I respectfully disagree, then?

    The first generation iPod touches can only be modified at this point in time. No second-generation models can be modified - the ones with the volume controls on the side. Do you know which generation you ordered?

    If you get a 1G, you download QuickPwn and literally plug your iPod into the USB port, force it into DFU mode and then the software installs. The great thing is that you can still use iTunes and buy music and apps from the App Store, but as an addition you can theme your iPod and funk it up with Winterboard, use Cydia to download applications and games and generally make it better. It is known as jailbreaking. But before you even try to Jailbreak it, you have to know how to fix it in case you can't boot it properly. I had to restore about ten times before I got it right!

    The games on the Apple Store are actually quite good. I download the free ones quite a lot - I've found some real gems by doing that only. I'm not up to paying $20 for an iPod game. $5 - $10, maybe, but not $20.

    Check out ModMyI.com, iPodTouchFans.com and MacThemes2.net for what you can do. At those stores, they are trained to sell the product as minimal as possible, but you can certainly download games and apps to it from App Store which needs Software Update 2.0 or higher, minimum. The salesman probably did mean third-party apps, but the App Store is open to all with an iTunes account.
  11. Think I might go for a touch after christmas. Love my Classic but drawn towards a touch. . . . . . We shall see



  12. Hold down the “Home” button

    Hold down the “Standby” button

    When it says “slide to turn off”, ignore it. It should restart with a blank screen. Look at iTunes, and your device should be removed. Now lift the Standby button, while still holding onto the Home button.

    Keep holding the Home button until the iPod reconnects on iTunes. When the device shows up in iTunes, that’s when you’ll need to lift up your button. If you wait any longer, it will go into Recovery Mode, and that’s not what you want. Your iPod should be blank.

    Now iTunes will tell you that the iPod Touch is in Recover Mode. You can now perform a manual restore on it.


    There you go. And if you force it into DFU mode, you have to restore - I made that mistake many times over.
