[sdavis117]

Welcome to the club.

PS: Itunes on the iTouch is actually faster then iTunes on a PC.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Now what?

[flibitijibibo]

I actually got mine this past Wednesday. It's :iamafag:

All I've downloaded is AIM and IRC though. Any good/free apps worth getting?

[SonicXtreme]

apps i currently have installed that i recommend ...

Inside Xbox , Whiteboard , Sonic 1 , Rasta Monkey , Geo Defense , DDRS , Cooking Mama , Falling Gems, Flash Light , Miku , Zoome TDKI , Philosiraptor , Dictionary , LOLcats and LOLdogs.

Obviously some are not free , the ones that are not free are

Sonic 1 , Rasta Monkey , Geo Defense , DDRS and Cooking Mama.

[Ki11a_FTW]

oh shit they actually have sonic on there?

[SonicXtreme]

lol yea got it the day it came out . its actually quite decent , controls are nice and responsive unlike other ipod touch games , DDR-S is amazing too , improves co ordination .... until you try expert , then it rapes you... XD

[Syuusuke]

Where are you getting these free apps, definitely not from the apple site right?

[Saggy]

lol, they have free apps on the app store.

Also, jailbreak that shit.

[Phopojijo]

Welcome to the club.

PS: Itunes on the iTouch is actually faster then iTunes on a PC.Yeah if only you knew how piss-poorly Apple programmed Quicktime and iTunes on the PC... :x It's so bad you don't even need to see the code to know it... just see the types of errors it gives off tells you (at least last time I checked) Apple's routinely executing code off of a data stack {for example...}

Though to be fair to Apple... Macromedia was just as bad with programs like Flash Player.

Also, jailbreak that shit.

It's totally worth it. You can get a app that can download videos from youtube directly to your iPod and change the springboard. There just so many things you can do with it.

[Syuusuke]

So I've heard
Gonna jailbreak this mañana
Any word of caution b4 I set rhis bird free?

Lol I love how it fixes some of my errors and adds the tilde on that n!

[Cojafoji]

download 3.0 and then jail break it. my ipod touch has become INFINITELY more useful!

[flibitijibibo]

3.0 works on an ipod touch? I hit latest update in itunes and got nothing.

[Saggy]

Ensure that you are on 2.2.1 firmware (which you most likely should be, just check in iTunes), make sure you know what DFU mode means and how to enter it, and use this version of redsn0w. The newest one is for 3.0 firmware only I'm pretty sure.

redsn0w for 2.2.1 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AHHWUYBX)

@flibitidghsgawefwqe: you "have to pay" for it...

IMO, I don't see the need to upgrade to 3.0 atm. Apps are still buggy, so I'm just going to wait a few more weeks, see how things are.

Of course though Syuusuke, you could always upgrade to 3.0 and download the new redsn0w from www.redsn0w.com if you choose too. If you do, I can't really help you as I haven't done it myself, obviously.

One word: Bluetooth.

Though, really, the stupidity of Apple locking that shit in the first place... :fail:

e: redsn0w works great, done it twice now (different iPods, had a friend who wanted his upgraded and jailbroken... we then played Quake over my wifi)

[Syuusuke]

The wifi sucks

Thanks saggeh 4 the link

And success!

AHHH do I HAVE TO use itunes to sync this crap?

[SonicXtreme]

unfortunately yes , as for reviews on apps , i put some of mine up on my youtube recently ..

www.youtube.com/soniconline (http://www.youtube.com/soniconline) , check out the ipod labeled ones

[Cojafoji]

you can get the 3.0 firmware from the 2.2.1 redsnow site.

[Heathen]

Devin: can u crack a ipod touch?
Me: yeah, I just jailbroke my 3gs about 20 seconds ago actually.
Devin: swweeeeeet
Devin: so wen it say you can ad your own aps can i ad like limewire?!?!?!
Me: it means you can download unsigned apps from an app browser called Cydia.
Devin: uhmmmm....
Devin: i think im just gonna put vistas o it
Devin: on*
Me: Uhhh...what?
just saw that it was relevant. Happened today.

[Syuusuke]

LOL

Maybe he means images of very pleasant scenery!

So the only app I have is facebook and that free AIM (are thereany apps that allow me to sign on to multiple AIM accounts...like IM+ if not I'll just buy that).

What games/other apps should I get?

Hi plas.

[Saggy]

Get Tap Tap Revenge 2. It's free on the app store and actually pretty fun, if your into the whole music/guitar hero-esque (sp?) games.

Also, if you have money that your willing to spend for apps, I'd recommend buying Doom: Resurrection. It's basically a knock-off of Doom 3, but "on rails" style.

For AIM, you could use the app "AIM" lol. For msn (rarely used though) I use Fring

[klange]

What games/other apps should I get?
Get the id treo free*: Wolfenstein 3d, Doom and Quake. (Doom's controls suck balls, Wolfenstein's are the best IMO, and Quake's are eh)

* These are the shareware versions, if you have the actual game, you can transfer the files. I did it with Quake.

[Syuusuke]

Sorry man, I prefer those 2d games or puzzle games (like sudoku), not the fps types =/

Anyway, the sudoku by EA sucks, it doesn't let you listen to your own music! =P

You're on a board that specializes in modding first person shooters... How can you not be a "first person shooter"-type?

If you want to listen to your own music, double tap home to bring up the music popup and hit play. It should mute the application sounds and start playing your music. I do it in Quake a lot...

I'm going to wait until id acutally releases all there games for the iPhone/touch. All the fan made ports suck balls. Wolfenstein on the Cydia store is actually compiled from id's source code, which is why it pplays so well. Also, they already announced that after they release Doom, they'll move on to port Quake, Quake 2, and possibly Quake Arena. As well, they plan to release the RPG games of Wolfenstein and Doom for the iPhone as well.

[flibitijibibo]

I think he means that he doesn't like fps type games on an iPod. I'm the same way, actually.

Does anyone have a free alarm app that uses your own music? I've been looking on the app store and it's been like looking for a good Halo/CoD4 montage.

There's this one (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=/oS9gnBF/JQ&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FW ebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewSoftware% 253Fid%253D303645741%2526amp%253B;mt%253D8) (Alarm Clock! Music Theme Clocks), but it costs $0.99. Other than that, I don't think your going to find a good free alarm clock.

[Masterz1337]

The clock app that comes with your device has an alarm clock.. lol. I can't use your own music, but why would you want to?

[Saggy]

I can never get that one to work. The alarm never goes off for some reason... But I'd rather use an actual alarm clock rather than using my iPod anyways.

[Masterz1337]

What version iPod Touch are you using?

[Saggy]

iPod Touch 2G on 2.2.1 firmware

[Masterz1337]

Should work, you sure your setting it to go off at the right time? Try changing the alarm sound.

[Saggy]

Ok, I got it to work. For some reason, even though the time is PM right now, I have to set the alarm for the opposite time. So right now it's 3:36 PM for me, on my alarm, I would have to set it for 3:37 AM, and then it would go off in the next minute. Anyway I can fix that? Maybe it's a time zone issue (not set on correct time zone?)

[Masterz1337]

settings_>General->date and time.

[Saggy]

Haha, thnx :p

Dont do that. If you are gonna buy an IM client, get beejive [pronounced beehive]

Its great.

[Heathen]

The newly released 0.9.2958 versions of MobileSubstrate and WinterBoard (upgraded to support ARM7/Thumb2) should now work on the iPhone 3GS.
Just posting this in all the iPhone centric threads.
