I really want to get an iPod Touch!

the Wall is Fly-Agaric-Fly-Hawaii-DARK by Smashmethod

the theme is " Louie Mantia - Black " can be found in the Summerboard Themes section of Installer.app

Ah I get it thanks mate :)

One more thing, that theme did u make that theme yourself and is it available for download?

but thats 320kbps~ roughly for all tracks? -V0 VBR would be much better and you'll get much more music on there.

It fluctuates actually. The most common bitrate I use is 192kbps... But I do have a lot of variable bitrates in the 230-250 or sometimes 350 range.

I'm not sure I would want to re-encode all those songs just to save some space... I may end up having to though one day.

Jailbreaking will remove the warranty, hands down.

For the person who said it will temporarily remove the warranty, it doesn't not technically.

Jailbreaking it, then restoring it, and then sending it in under warranty is warranty fraud. There may be justification for it (as the device is so weak from the box), but it is still illegal.

Just something to think over.

Well whos going to know & it does nothing to the Touch after you restore it to factory settings.

i like mine it was jailbroken but since put it back to normal 1.1.3 with software update (yes i bought it) and now just waiting to see how SDK and apps come in February before i consider jail breaking again.

That wasn't my point. I think jailbreaking an iPod Touch is the only proper course of action, but the thread starter seems to be worried about the warranty, so don't lie to him and tell him the warranty is fine. Apple won't know, but it still is warranty fraud.

it does not void the warrenty on the Hardware Itself.

and i doubt its fraud as reseting it puts it back to factory settings, if the problem is still there, then its with the Original software ( which to warrenty repair will have to be loaded to new firmware making the jailbreaks null and void) if its not there, then the issue is with the modified software

mines still 1.1.1, im not going to update till the SDK is out and i find out if they are going to be charging for the apps like they did with 1.1.3. i would have upgraded if the 1.1.3. apps were free. not going to upgrade to limit my touch's functionality and have to PAY for the reduced functionality

firmwares free 1.1.3 updates as usual just you have to buy apps through itunes store thing if you want them there is jailbreaking to get the apps free and to upgrade to jailbroken 1.1.3 but i would rather see how SDK goes before i consider mucking it up or around.

Must be some long tracks on there then! I personally don't like the sound of MP3 that much anymore. even on its highest bitrate it still sounds a little iffy. Anywho, thats for a different topic!

Jailbroke mine and a lot of stuff is for novely and just farting about with, but there is quite a few gems. When apple release the SDK i'll have a go at making a few ideas I have planned for the Touch. Can't be bothered to faff about with the unofficial SDK, its a bit of a pain, and not that well documented as of yet.

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god I am soo happy!!..I opened the box.. and looked at it.. :cry:

OK its charging now and im downloading itunes.. GOD DAMN IT itunes is 55 MB!!! Now I am not happy with one little thing, and that is:

WHY THE HELL IT DIDNT COME WITH A POWER CHARGER? This is Ridicules!.. USB Charger?.. why? I wasent going home for a while, we drove stright to a friends house who does not have a working computer.

I plugged it into his ps2.. and it did nothing... Come ON APPLE.. The ipod should of bloody came with a Power Charger.. not this USB crap.

Anyways.. I'm still downloading itunes...And I cant wait to use this baby.

I have both a 16GB Touch and an Archos 605 WiFi. For day to day use, the iPod is far better. Wifi browsing is excellent and fast. Still, when it comes to most browsing I have to use my MBP linked over BT and HSDPA when I'm out and about.

The Archos is better for watching video, and long journeys.

Must be some long tracks on there then!

True, I suppose that is a vital point.. I do listen to a lot of power and progressive metal, so their songs tend to push 7 minutes or more.. My longest songs are at 24 minutes.

THIS saves the day though: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/...touch-hits-32gb

I will have to reconsider all this.

Do I have to sign up to itunes store inorder to get album art on my ipod?.. I already have album art in iTunes but its not showing on my ipod.

Yes you need to have an account to get album artwork through itunes feature automatically or you can add it manually without it through the tagging system.

The ipod heats up like any battery in any battery powered device when charging.

grats, i got mine same time as a 80GB classic, after using the touch, i have rarely used the classic

recommendation : if your goign to use a FM transmitter, be careful. the one i have kills the touch in under an hour and heats it up to where its hard to touch. i would recommend getting accessories that say they are compatible with the touch ( i got my transmitter Pre-Touch and it has built in charger by plugging into sig lighter)

just got it today and loving it :D typing this from it now and have no regrets in purchasing it :)

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications.
