if you're heavy user with apps and music, go on.
but if you're new and so-so just get the 32GB.

Wow really? Didn't know that. I was thinking of getting an ipod touch 4g in the next few weeks and not planning to jail break it...
I'm planning to get one with the latest OS. Am I able to jailbreak it then or will there be problems with the new OS?


Where did you buy it and how much? I was looking around for it since last month.


Before I get an ipod touch, is there anything I should know or not do? Such as not to install a certain apps because it will crash, not to open 2 apps at a time, or not to leave wifi on for too long, etc....

Yes you will be able to jailbreak it, there is no problem or whatsoever. but the latest OS which is 5.0.1 still have a bug where the battery life is not that good. as a starter, turn off the automatic brightness, and the location service. that should make the battery life a little bit better

Not planning to jailbreak is such a waste, there is so many tweaks you can install. I honestly won't buy Apple's stuff if there's no jailbreak

If you're in a tight budget, you should probably head to Lowyat Garage Sale, under the subforum "Music & Accessories"
A lot of guys selling 2nd hand ipod touch 4 for a decent price. About apps crashing and all, buy one, and you'll get the experience. But it's worth it.

Thanks for the info. Since you say theres a bug with 5.0.1, does that mean I should take the previous OS for now until the bug is fixed? But if there's a lot of cool updates in 5.0.1 then I might as well take it.
Getting a 2nd hand one is a bit risky so I'll get a new one instead. I wanted to get one more than a year ago but that never happened..

I've been using 64gb 4th gen since it came out and did not jb it. It's all on preference I would say.. B'cuz there's many apps out there that's free as well.

hi to all ipod touch otai...
need some advise here....if i'm going to buy 2nd/new ones..
what the "thing" i should look for??
means how to know all the item is as "original" as they stated

well, its not much of a bug actually. currently am using it like usual but just the battery issues.
nice nice. my friend just bought one with engrave cost her around +/- 950 because apple store had discount that week

when you're buying a used ipod
always check for

1. cosmetic damage eg: dent,obvious scratches
2. try different setting of the ipod's brightness.
3. make sure there is no dead pixel on the screen
4. make sure speaker(when using earphone) and loudspeaker is functioning
5. home and lock button is responsive
6. wifi is usable

this is the list of things to check that i could think of

thanks for the suggestion...
but one more thing how can i know the accesories (earphone & usb cable) are original??
not imitation/OEM??
because as my experience i do know "some" seller will change the original with imitation/OEM version (mostly in AP mobile industry)

my ipod touch upgraden to ios 5.0.1 and JBroken, but now gt 1 prob, no sound at all, what should i do? Help......i hav tried to restore again and again but failed, is there any mute button on ipod touch 4g?

hmmm..that one is quite difficult to differentiate. truthfully, original earphone sucks, so im using other brand.
for the usb cable, you could check the logo on the jack that needs to be plugged to your ipod. mine after using it for 6 months hasn't faded yet, but my sister in law bought a cap ayam cable, and i can see that the logo is faded already. this is just from my observation, whether it is true or not i also don't know

when restoring, try set it up as a new device, sync a few songs first and try playing it using loudspeaker

hmm... still wondering is there any prob with my ipod.
since the day i bought til now, a week later, there are still no notification coming out from my ipod from apps.
Especially FB and twitter. =/

have you turned on the notification setting? and allow the apps to push for data?

Yeah, all the settings for notification are all on but still nthg comes out.. Hmm....

weird. try deleting the facebook app, and installed it back.

i have tried formatting my ipod like new, reinstall the app etc but still the same.
I guess it's the bug from the apps?

I dont think so cause mine works well

amazing things happened, last night I suddenly received 2 notifications from my FB messenger and today I received also another 2 notifications from FB.
hmm.... it appeared now but now consistant and it appear things from few hours ago... really weird...

good for you

I'm trying to JB the ipod touch (5.0.1) but redsnow keep telling that the ipsw version is not supported. I downloaded the ipsw from apple servers. I should be pointing it to the original firmware and not the custom ones right?

have u updated your ipod?
if yes, download latest redsnow, and just click jailbreak without pointing any ipsw.
