  1. Another massively cool feature is downloading podcasts directly to the iPod. AWESOME


  2. Is that a 2.2 feature only? Also, you can get Google Street View as well.


  3. No idea. There's a podcasts tab in itunes and voila


  4. New feature that with the latest firmware update. Brilliant.

    Agree about the numbness to a certain extent but only with long periods of times on games. Depends on the thumb size I guess....

    Will keep looking. Any specific recommendations Gary? You jailbroken yours?


  6. That would have been good on the touch. It's pretty much the same identical operating system, with a few phone-centric features ripped out, so why not.

    Genius is an odd thing. A lot of songs just aren't recognised, including A Bigger Bang by the Rolling Stones and any AC/DC tracks. The latter might be understandable, though - but at least it takes a guess, and sometimes it does a pretty acurate job.
  7. Right Drew.

    I have 'QuickPwn'. What do I do now??

    (PS Apologies that I know you've answered this before. Words of one syllable would be good )

    I hope you're ready to rock 'n roll. I'll make it as easy as humanly possible. If I didn't stuff it up, chances are others can't. I was scared shitless, actually. Not now, though.



    Alright...BACKUP FIRST - All music, bookmarks, videos, whatever. This cannot be stressed enough.

    - Then install and open QuickPwn and plug in your touch and make sure it's charged to at least 50%.

    - Click the Next arrow.

    - Choose your iPod type - not iPhone or 3G, obviously.

    - Click to install only Installer and Cydia - don't worry too much about Boot Logos - unless you want to. They just look tacky.

    - Then you'll have to put into device firmware upgrade mode. It tells you how to do this and walks you right through the DFUing process.

    - The iPod should restart and in about two shakes of a lamb tail, you should be Jailbroken. Everything will be back at default, but it can all be re-synced over afterwards.
  9. Is this quickpwn for 1st gen?


  10. It most certainly is. The 2nd gen uses new hardware and software code, so the only possible chance to do it is with hardware replacement. For those unsure what generation they have, this will help them out.


    iPhone / iPhone 3G is grey on the back, not silver. 3G was released in 2008, 1G released in 2007





    iPod touch 1G has no controls on any side, only standby button on top and home button on front, released in late 2007






    iPod touch 2G has controls on the left-hand side, released in 2008

    ...no,Sir.I'm with you,I'm too scared to bugger around with it so I'll leave it as is.I tried the old putting in the address thingy to play flash videos but I must be completley stupid,it never works for me.I just have a good look at the site I mentioned before see what tickles my fancy.Depends on the thumb size for what ? For the size of....keep it clean it's a family website,we've got 13 & 14 year old kids here..... Still want an iPhone though,but I've 6 months to go on my contract,a wee bit expensive to get a jailbroken one of those at the minute.

    Thanks. That all makes sense. Do I need this Installer and Cydia stuff - is it a download too?
    What happens once it's jailbroken?

    I've heard that Macbooks don't allow iPods to go into DFU mode, so this may be a Mac Mini job.

    If I get the courage that is......
