mmm...just viewing the iPhone SDK press conference. there's an enhancement on microsoft activesync plus some enterprise features also available for iPod Touch on its next major software update. but they said "We account for the touch differently than we do for the iPhone so there will be a nominal charge for the touch". oww well, another iPod Touch June Software Update perhaps (hohoho...).

but luckily that extra Activesync function is more for enterprise usage, so it will be not that necessary for everyone with Touch.

yup u can't sync any iPod with 2 or more computers (by syncing method), and can't do manual transfer of iPod Touch with two or more computers. so then install TuneSwap and u can swap between 2 iTunes profiles (means 2 machines/computers). but u can't have both computer's file in the same profile. correct me if i'm wrong.

u can convert video files using Videora or Super Converter or Xilisoft Converter (i don't like the latest Videora though, sticking with version 2.x). some AVI video files encoded with audio stream that can't be recognised by internal Quicktime plugin that iTunes used (maybe Ogg stream or else). sometimes u can encode the audio but not the video. so using third party software will give a better result.

Maybe u should try transfer the songs via Winamp 5.52. dunno if syncing other computers' iTunes will erase the software update file. currently not using january software update. but i think if the iPod Touch does come with the update preinstalled, maybe it will be no prob.

this is because you enable automatic sync with your iPod. just connect your iPod, open iTunes,and on the iPod page just check "Manually manage music and videos". so on the next time u will only do manual transfer.

i understand that, but so far as i know the only way is by enabling manual mode. and then u need to add the songs manually by adding the songs to iTunes and drag then them to the iPod pane inside iTunes.

"syncing" in iTunes means placing the songs available on the computer to the iPod, while deleting the songs the computer doesn't have.

after u have enabled "Manually manage music and videos", u can't use "Sync" anymore. instead u need to drag from iTunes library (music, videos) and drop it to the iPod title bar inside iTunes. so this is the only way to preserve your media files inside iPod.

wow, that's so tragic dude. hoping an easier jailbreak will be made for 1.1.4 Touch.

mmm...heard that future version of ziphone can directly jailbreak on latest firmware (as for now only certain iPod Touch can be jailbroken). so it will be easier, but not for now.
iPhone? u r a risk taker. no warranty for it as for now (until it is officially released). other than that u'll not gonna regret. plus, some upgraded features for future updates may require a fee on iPod Touch, but not a single cent on iPhone. remember the January Software Update dude.
oww...btw if u wanna buy iPhone, make sure u sell the iPod Touch or give it to someone as gift first. u'll regret that u've bought that iPod Touch before. previous experiences from iPod Touch + iPhone adopters.

yup that's normal la. the processor itself is not the same, the screen sometimes problematic (so check before u buy), etc etc...
why diz happened? because the price is lot more cheaper than iPhone itself. ok now we see how steep the price is the iPhone. the non-contract price for iPhone 8GB around RM38xx-4xxx (on 2 countries that have the official unlocked iPhone). compare that with iPod Touch 8GB. so there's so much to do to cut down the cost. but sadly the iPod Touch have to suffer from these probs.
btw, having an iPod Touch here is lot more safer than iPhone as u have the warranty IMHO. even if the screen is dead u can still have it sent for replacement of the faulty parts. so no much hassle though.
btw the build quality of iPod Touch is better than other PMPs in the market. yup it is solid.

yup, remember the risk to come with iPhone. heard that they also got prob on some batch, and some got suddenly non responsive screen after weeks of usage. when this happen, u can't go back and claim for warranty.

also, i think that iPod Touch is more well-built than other portable media players IMHO. plus u have the internet-browsing capability as a bonus (considering that u r purchasing a PMP). and u'll not regret it. and if it got prob u can always get it fixed.

but only if u have enough fund to buy iPhone, u'll find it's harder to choose.

at least it is not until 2020 . oww...btw most likely it will be here this year. but not necessarily la.

if it got Installer, it is already jailbroken. some seller will tell that the bigger ones have more extras this and that, but actually it's because of the jailbreak. and every version is jailbreakable.

ok, it will have Installer only if the iPod Touch is jailbroken. as for now there's no applications or games available through the App Store. and btw the AppStore is still not available yet. so the only way to accomplish app installation is through jailbreak.

but he mention bout Installer. hehehe...
btw i'd like to know how much does it cost currently for the 8GB version at retailer. maybe buying one as a gift.

wow thanx dude. maybe going to the retail store in April.
oww...got price difference with the included January Software Update ones?

wow they r kinda ripping off. it should be cheaper through time. the weirdest case for me.

btw there's another way.
ZiPhone 2.6.
no need downgrade and upgrade back. just restore firmware to 1.1.4 and start ZiPhone-ing right away!

haha...now I don't have iPod Touch. fully jumped to iPhone bandwagon already. hehehe...

btw the latest ZiPhone have just being posted not long ago (2.6b), and it supports all versions of iPod Touch.

also, if u go to iPod Touchmaster's page, it will also shows the video on ZiPhone-ing step.

oww...the wiggle feature? it only available on JSU'd (January Software Update) iPod Touch. btw after jailbreak u can install it (jailbreak version ones). but theoretically if u have purchased JSU on your computer, u will still get it on your iPod (considering that u just need to restore to 1 firmware version). btw if anyone tried this feel free to report. hehehe...sharing is caring.

yup if u go to iTunes Store and clicking on JSU icon, it will tell bout the 5 software addons, lyrics support, and icon rearrangement feature (which is the "wiggly" thingy). btw, u can have a jailbreak version so no need to pay for it.

mmm...maybe going to Apple store to buy an iPod Touch for someone diz april. hahaha good old iPod Touch days...(not that old)

mmm...but u can see at the Zibri's blog (ziphone.org) that the latest version supports iPod Touch better than earlier version. even at iPodTouchmaster's page recommend this method.
and yes of course u can get the features of JSU via jailbreak.
haha...just buying the 8GB. and it's not for me. hehehe....

i believe most iPod users just charge it via USB cable. the adapter is so expensive IMHO. even the 3rd party premium ones (the original one is super steep price) is not that cheap. it is kinda silly that the original adapter plug can costs hundred.
btw u can try look at TradeZone > Music And Audio Accessories. look for morgan's thread. i believe he still sells the 3rd party chargers.

if wanna made sure just check the charger with the official logo "Made for iPod". maybe u can check the Morgan's offerings and then google for its official website. look if it is certified as "Made for iPod". i forgot the name of chargers he is selling, so i can't check. hehehe...
btw if u wanna the official stuff, just head to apple premium resellers here (Machines, Epicentre, etc. etc., i've never shop at their retail stores before actually) and check the price of iPod adapter. and yes it will cost a bomb, but u can rest assure of your warranty.
mmm...btw it's recommended to get ACPP also. hehehe, who knows what'll happen next rite? hohoho...

as of the original Apple USB charger, power rating is 110V-240V. u can change the adapter's head if u got the traveller's kit. btw there are also 3rd party travellers charger for iPod, but it is quite expensive.
