sigh... without any protective sreen/cover i have a feeling my ipod touch 4 is gonna be a scratch magnet... especially the chrome body behind. Wished steve changed the behind or at least add some plastic casing over the steel sad.gif

on the other note, any users experience connection error after your ipod goes to sleep? the wifi icon still shows as being connected, but when loading safari/appstore etc can't connect unless you renew lease in network settings...

Haha, luckily the screen survived my drop (or i'd say my soft throw) on the bus floor (metal floor =.=).

I don't feel there is a difference after waking up from sleep mode, maybe you just have too many apps running behind?

Anyone can recommend me a good ipod dock?


nope, i always close all my apps when i'm not using... i just bought beejive for usd9 sad.gif hoping it'll still stay connected to wifi even after sleep

lol, should've been more specific. I want a dock that can charge and has a speaker
according to the Genius worker, the dimension is a little different, plus there is an extra hole for the front camera. Btw, FT today again, 5 mins and it is hot enough to half-boil an egg sweat.gif

A question to iPod Touch users, how is manga reading experience on the device? Can the default photo viewer be used to read manga? Or we need to use another app?
*
usually apps gives a better viewing experience. Plenty of free apps that do that, i'm using mangarock atm, its free to read online, but downloading requires u to pay.
just yesterday i downloaded the complete comic of calvin and hobbes (my favvv of all time biggrin.gif )
its in pdf format, i'm using apple's free ibooks reader and goodreader (supposedly one of the best) to read it smile.gif

if u want a good picture quality buy a real camera >_>
for rm800-1000+ u get so much more than a camera, and main function of an ipod isn't taking pics, but for browser usability, apps, entertainment and now - facetime.

And heating is common in all ipods when you run serious power hogging apps. Dont forget its just like a mini pc with no fan, and the ipods hardware is touching/almost touching the screen since its so slim.
Its only a major issue if its overheating so bad, that it hangs/shut down or to the point it almost burn ur skin

for goodness sake, there is no overheating issue
all ipods get hot when they run apps/functions that requires more processing power.
once you have a case/skin on it you wont feel most of it

Hi all.

I have recently bought the ipod touch 4G from epicentre singapore. Since this is my 1st ipod touch (upgraded from ipod nano 3G), I've donwloaded tonnes of apps especially games. At 1st, I didn't know how to properly shut down an apps, so I just click the menu button to exit from any apps. The upper back will start to heat up when you play games. So, imagine, when I've played many games without proper shutdown, meaning, there are so many games running in the background, the heat is still not an issue, I mean, the heat is there, but not a big issue at all. The heat is not a big deal at all. I didn't have any uncomfortable moment at all. Also, during this moment, I kept on connecting the ipod touch with the itunes to sync with the new downloaded apps and stuff. But still, it's not even an issue.

One thing I've noticed is that, whenever I'm not playing any games (even though the apps/games/utilities that I run in the beginning still haven't properly shut down), there heat will disappear.

When I found out on how to properly shut down the apps (double click on menu button), I saw like 32 running programs in the background! It's amazing how this ipod touch 4G can withstand that kind of work.

So, the heat is not a problem at all. Really.
Well, not yet, not at the moment. I'm not sure how long does it take for it come to Malaysia. Maybe others may be able to answer that for you.

Regards
Damien

32 running in background? lol i never have more than 2-3 apps running since i always close any app when i'm done using. Saves batt power too tongue.gif
but must be a pain to manually close apps 1 by 1. I hope they add a tab to close all apps just by tapping once in os4.2
