iPod Touch 16gb review


Recommended Posts

So just the Invisible Shield? Just stick it in your pocket and everything is ok? No carrying case needed for protection?

So what kind of stuff do you have running on your Touch with Jailbreak? Is it easy to go back to the official firmware?

You can key the thing with the Invisible Shield and it does nothing to the Device.

I've got a Video i Just shot with the K850i if you want it on youtube where I key the thing and nothing happens, this thing is all you need to protect your iPod.

The K850i now shoots video in 240x320 @ 30fps, and also saves SMS messages to the Mem Card or Phone mem, meaning no more stupid 95% inbox full rubbish.

The bottom bit of the phone is also touch sensitive.

Just a teaser until I get round to writing a full review. ;)

This thing is 10x better than the K800i, build quality, software quality, everything, is a lot better than I expected.

2 questions

- Can you use a stylus on it instead of your fingers?

- Does the Apple remote/FM tuner work as a remote? How bout othery 3rd party wired remotes?

I'll take a stab at #1. I don't have the ipod, but I do have an iphone.

No, a stylus wont work. I don't know about #2, however. I don't believe so, but I haven't tried it.

Sucks you can't use a stylus. Fingering it all the time leaves too much smudges.

It'll be horrible if you can't use the old remote with it. I'm guessing it should work. Apple really think cheating their customers in making them buy new gears for the "new" iPods is the right thing to do.

Take in an old iPod, like a Shuffle, and get 10% off. I took in a broken 1G Shuffle for recycling and got the discount.

Does that work with a broken (dead HD) 5g?

Meh, i am about to order one of this i want the 16GB, but then i think about the $400...... and all the things i could buy with that money.

Does it really, REALLY worth it to spend that kind of money on this gadget??

I'm still on the fence between an 8gig Nano, 160gig classic & the 16gig touch. They all have their pros & cons. Heck I might even wait for the touch 2nd gen. 32/64 gigs ftw!

But you're right. $400+tax is a lot of money & I can find numerous of things to do with all that dough.

With any iPod. I don't think they check if it works, after all you're taking it in for recycling or I guess environmental friendly disposal. My shuffle took a spin in the washer and didn't work. They didn't check and just took it.

i love it, i think it's really cool and with the offcial SDK coming out it has a lot of potential

definately. There will be some sick apps coming out for it and possibly themes?

I am posting from my ipod touch btw, very easy to use.

To answer someones question on the fm transmitter, i have an itrip ans a belkin dock for the car and they both work perfectly. Very good peice of kit

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
