*all these while i didnt realize the ipod bar...no wonder all ipod posts have gone*

i was lucky enough to download the 3.0 ipsw when it was leaked by Apple. i guess there's nothing illegal about that rite? i didnt hack or anything (i dont know how)

as for wifi and battery i didnt notice any difference. for bluetooth, cant test since i own the 1st gen touch. shake to shuffle is a nice touch . i have no use for spotlight at the moment, given the amount of stuff i have on the ipod (very little). copy&paste works flawlessly.

safari does feel a lil bit faster....but still no flash . other phones are going to have flash n AIR very soon now...

If you download without pay, then it is illegal. Apple don't "leak" their files, when they deserve to get paid for their hardwork. The typical mindset of Malaysians of " if it is out there for download it must be free" is still pervasive I see. Apple's 3.0 software is explicitly tagged as purchased for USD9.99, so if anyone gets it for other than that, you know what you're dealing with. And trust me, some of us are watching your posts intently profiling you to see if you're an "accidental/unintentional" pirate or a fullblown "hardy har har" one-eyed pegleg with no law-abiding sense whatsoever.

Hmmm, if that's the case, I heard from another iPod forum that many of their members also managed to download the 3.0 update for free... Must have been either a bug or some oversight on the part of Apple, since then, I have not heard of free downloads anymore...

Looks like Apple found out about this "anomaly" and decided to put a stop to it!

post (partially) deleted as requested.

yes the 3.0 update was available for free, right there in the itunes ipod page, when it first came out. juz like then 2.0 first came out as well. i guess downloading that does not make it illegal since it's directly from apple. its not like i hacked into their database or anything. passing the firmware to other ppl is, of course, but im free of that (since everyone i know has the 2nd gen...i only downloaded the 1st gen ;p). is being honest meaning i need to pay for something i already own (i.e. didnt steal)?

and hey, i dont even jailbreak to download free apps. i might as well do that if i have that so called 'cheap' malaysian mentality.

ipod touch 2g 3.0 reporting in.

Hey all, 1G user reporting in here.

After updating to 3.0 I can't force quit any apps with the holding-down-the-home-button trick and it frequently runs out of memory because of this.

Does anyone know how to rectify this?

Also, my back plate is littered with hairline scratches, and I'm planning to go naked soon and do without the Speck SeeThru I'm using now.

Is it possible to change the back plate? If not, should I try the brushed aluminium trick?

Also, what skin should I get? I hear BSE and BodyGuardz are quite good... are they comparable to IS? If not, I'll settle for the safest option.

Looking forward to responses, asap. Thanks in advance.

Anyone noticed a big drop in app store download speed this week?

Normally it's really fast, much better than my normal speed, around 100 kb/sec
Past few days it's been down somewhere near 20 kb/sec...

3g or just new firmware?

this 3.0 is a new software?

New firmware lah not new OS. iPods are only made for Mac OS.

Bluetooth juz for the headset only right ? Yea interested in that feature as well but haven't seen any wireless headset around .. have u found any good ones and how much does it costs ?

how to change to Singapore?

in my ipod touch i cannot press the itunes?

me myself satisfy with 2nd gen but i've never try 3.0fw yet.. so i dont know what improved there.. even 1st gen can upgrade to 3.0fw..
from what i read.. 3.0 version bring more for ipod 2nd gen.. for what i can imagine apple would upgrade on their 3rd gen are camera, SQ and OLED screen only.. not much deal there.. what im worry is the price.. even i want to buy 3rd gen.. its not worth by its value.. that what im thinking..

i think so but if new 3rd gen came out and can not be jailbroken.. people will think twice to get it.. huhu..
so there may be some pro n con there.. but the price should be drop a lot just like 1st gen now.. haha

if that the situation.. the 2nd gen price will drop and 1st gen will lose the value.. huhu..
but if u has the decision to buy 2nd gen or 3rd gen which would u buy? in case the price has huge different?

i just sign up NExG debit card.. but when i put into itunes malaysia .. it sys decline.. y???

Argh. My iPod Touch 1st gen's Home button broke. As in literally broke.

Anyone able to help? Workaround? Estimated cost of repair?

And should I get an iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch 3G (when it comes out)?

i call and activate aldi.. i must put in money only can use???

i just got my first IPOD TOUCH 2G... the screen and responsiveness is superb...
Time to get rid of my windows mobile... its so slow...
