+1 too! i love that function... so much more better then Sony Ericsson Shake thingy.... SE one need to press the walkman button, ipod/iphone just shake...


David gave you the link... its very simple, click next next and next...

Thanks for the repetition. I think I should consider whether I should upgrade to iPod Touch 2G soon.

shake to shuffle, i think its hard to use. i have to shake it like many times to shuffle the song.

then i feel like, shake from right to left hard, even harder from left to right..

is it only me or what?

Love the new update. Now I can use my existing BT stereo headset; no more tangled up with headphones wires.

Um, guys, why can't I update my ipod to the latest firmware? When I clicked on the check for update it says my current FW (2.2.1) is the latest. Currently using Mallaysian iTunes account. Anybody else facing this problem?

Does using BT headset reduces the Touch's battery life drastically?

Same problem here, it's not available in the Malaysian store yet for some reason, there was a download icon in the store for a few hours but it didn't work and they removed it =S
apparently some other regional stores also facing this problem... hopefully we'll get it soon

Also which feature are you guys using/looking forward to the most?
I can't wait to have notes sync =P

Yes, I think it does, but I haven't tested using it continuously. If I'm not mistaken, Bluetooth doesn't require much power as WiFi. So far, the audio streaming is quite smooth and clear; and I'm using non-branded BT headset.

eew. Have to pay for OS 3.0 =x

We gotta pay for something good. Isn't it? I wish I can update it too. but, too bad I'm using iPod 1G

fully agree wit u! seems i had 2 shake my ipod touch 2G damn hard 4 it 2 change song and it got this annoying beep (more noticeable on my ifon 3g cos da speaker is louder). was walking in midvalley just now wit frens and i was showing 'em how 2 change song and i was shaking it so hard 2 change song and it flew outta my hand n hit this lady walking towards me right in the face f*ckin hard some more hehe!! luckily it bounced off her face n i caught it so damn lucky! =)

Wow, you are so lucky that it didn't drop on the floor and also gotta be thankful that the lady didn't screw you up. haha!
How does it compare to Sony Ericsson W910i shaking to change music? It really that bad huh the shaking part of iPod touch 2G?
Is there a technique or something to shake it?

@VexRed
hahaha nice catch, bonus headshot points! =P

hmm I guess it's good that it's a bit hard to shake, otherwise would be annoying to accidentally change the song every time you pick it up too fast
technique i would guess might be something like do a 180 sweep back and forth from landscape to portrait to landscape? or maybe got some sweet spot angle where it works best... quite curious to know now =D

dunno bro i have no idea about da SE w910i la so i dare not comment bout dat lor...

hehe i apologised of cos laa haha plus i touched her face cos she was a hot one =) i rubbed her cheek then she asked me, 'is that an iphone?' i reached in to my back pocket and took out my iphone and said, 'um nope, THIS is an iphone...' then i flashed my 1million dolla smile. she smiled back n da rest is history... (i dunno maybe she thought it was a 1 million rupiah smile)

I don't see the what's problem with the "shake to shuffle" function. I mean, it was requested by many, and many were moaning at the fact that such an advanced iPod can't perform a simple shake to shuffle function where some SE phones etc are capable of doing it. Now that it's implemented, I'm sure it'll feel like a much better iPod to play with. Be happy with the updates la! By the way, i play Tap Tap a LOT, therefore i don't think the shake feature would cause any problems to me once i've updated my firmware

I'm sure you're saying so because iPhone users can get the update for free, but hey, on the positive note, you'll get fresh new functions, and you'll love your iPod Touch more that you already do.

I just upgrade to 3.0 and JB it. Now i notice that i cannot enter AppStore as well as Youtube. Anybody has similiar experience?


able to go in already. i guess something about new term and condition which is easier if i agree first using Mac rather than via ipod.

also we don't have to pay those big bad contract fees that many iphone users have, so I think in the long run we got the better deal =D

erm my iPod Touch 2 gen shake damn easy to shake... its so easy to shake where i just twist my wrist and it changes track already..

Practice makes perfect, if you know what i mean.

Anyway, I've been itching to upgrade to 3.0, but i still cant find a gift card seller. Closest i got was skalominia, who quoted me RM100 for $50 US store credit. Did a little digging, he has his own site (easily faked), and his lowyat thread has been closed recently pending investigation. PM-ed the staff who closed his thread, he/she just gave me a simple buy at your own risk reply. Anyone who transacted with this fella for gift card before (not paypal or whatever currency) ?
