i know it is very scratch-resistant but it is NOT scratch-proof.

............There is nothing Scratch-proof .....

Unless you tell them to use diamond??

I got a way to make it all the speculation of "scratch proof" go away

i tot ipod touch n iphone different surface le???

is iPod Touch must use headphone to listen ?
Can it be listened without using headphone ?

What else other cool features in iPod Touch ?
I may plan to get one...

Yeah, you can connect to external speaker. No speaker built in.

Check http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch for more cool features you might wanna check out. Safari is the killer app in there!

I think your steps shown here are actually SAME as this YouTube video !! Check it out.......
quite clear instructions given in YouTube video !! Rocks.....

Guys, may i ask what is Jail break?

JailBreak = Hack (sort of) or modify the original one !

As in, put more App(s), items and more>?

Juz gave the chrome back a spidey touch

Is that a skin? selfmade?

I know the battery indicator is an estimation of how much the battery power is left, but this is insane! It shows me that the battery is full and barely 5 minutes into video it popped out warning telling me less than 20% of battery power left! It doesn't happen always. As far as i could remember, it had happen to me twice. That annoys me enough. I charge my touch using a USB charger but i don't think that is a problem, or is it?

Btw, any of you guys left ur touch charge overnight? As far as i'm concern, modern batteries (lithium-based) don't overcharge. It will just stop charging itself when it is fully charged. Correct me if i'm dreadfully wrong here.

I leave mine on charging while i'm in bed and plug it out before i leave the house in the morning, so far no problem occured as mentioned above.

Yes modern batteries with all the safeguards in place do not usually overcharge their batteries. One thing to note is that battery do not always reaches 100% (as in physical 100% tip top, filled to the brim). Most charging circuits uses a constant voltage and constant current method. It'll usually take 1-2hours to charge a lithium battery to more than 85%. This is the time where the charging circuits and battery is very hot. From there to more than 95%, it'll take a longer time because as the battery voltage increases, it'll lower the amount of current to it. You don't want to overcharge it. What happens here is that the charging circuit will constant trickle charge it with small amounts energy until it reaches a level the engineers are satisfied with. Of course they must be satisfied with the time it takes too. Once the battery is full, it'll implement a negative dBV cutoff (depending on implementation). Some will cutoff when it hits an overshot in temperature as safety measure. The battery indicator is just an estimation and a level perceived by the firmware of the device.

The problem are lithium batteries' characteristics. Lithium batteries cannot be over-discharged and overcharged. Meaning, you do not treat it like a NiCD of the olden days. You do not discharge it until empty before charging it. And also you do not charge it for extended periods of time. But this is usually taken care of because the charging controller will prevent this from happening. But you do not want to run the charging circuits extended period of time too. You'll want to prevent it from being overused so that it'll do its job.

So there's a trade off here and there. For me, I'll pick the charge anytime, disconnect when finished approach. Hope this helps you.

I cannot say your device is defective as I do not know. But I'll do a complete restore and run it stock for a few days just to monitor the level of drain before concluding anything.

David.

mind sharing how or where u do it??

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I don't think it is a battery problem but rather some "bug" appear in the firmware battery estimation. I'll have to run the battery test to find out. Thank you again

Added on October 30, 2007, 1:17 pmI have included an even easier way to jailbreak the touch in my guide. It was out for awhile already but just found out cuz i don't follow the jailbreaking news anymore since mine is already jailbroken. Just happen to read about it last nite. The new way is completely fool-proof, i feel.

alamak..
remember my touch have this stucked pixel but then it was OK in the end?
now it came up again! dumb stupid stucked pixel!

I'm not sure whether this is due to problems on the battery itself. My previous unit of touch (which I returned and get a new one due to unresponsive screen) has the same problem. Even though I just put my touch to 'sleep' in the day, by evening the battery indicates it only has about 30% left. Mind you that I have everything disable (no wifi...no music playing...no video playing.....just put it to sleep).

My new touch does not seem to experience such problem. If I left my touch with 90% battery during morning, the battery indicator would still show the same when I return home in the evening after work. My new touch also has longer battery life compared to my previous. Now it can play music up to 20 hrs as oppose to the old one which barely made 13 hrs.

i think i would seriously run a battery test to have a peace of mind
