it's kinda nonsense for charging for the extras, while new iPod Touch that starts shipping today have that new apps for free, preinstalled.This may give an impression that Apple is screwing up early adopters of Touch. but it's up to users to choose. now they got 3 options :
1) Add the features via jailbreak
2) Add via iTunes (owww...USD20 terbang...)
3) Not adding at all

mmm...also i think that xtras can't be purchased 'officially' here as the whole procedure is through iTunes.

Easier to say, just make it free.

yeah, it should be free. the long version of my thought is for satisfying every thoughts like "hey, it can already achieved by jailbreaking" and "mmm...i only support legiti
ate softwares, so i will only upgrade legally" and "oh, i don't need that upgrade, hell with that".

Just read from Engadget that you can move icons in the around from the US$20 update. Lyrics too. Trying to look for details of the 1.1.3 update but no luck yet. Anyone who come across any please post it here for the convenience of other readers.


Added on January 17, 2008, 3:42 amBy the way I think the new look to the homepage looks awesome. It clearly distinguishes the icons in the bar from the ones on the main page. Sweetness.

I salute Apple for making me fall harder in love with my iPod Touch. Now looking for ways to get the 5 apps the legit way!

Im thinking apple screwed up the early adopters of the iPod touch, making us pay the USD20 for all these apps that will come free with the new version of it.

But heck, I would upgrade in a heartbeat if we can do it easily here

Not the $20 get you the new updates but just the 5 apps. 1.1.3 firmware update gets you all the lyrics/more playback control when playing movies/etc.

Ait. Are you sure about that? I've upgraded mine to 1.1.3 but I don't seem to see any way of viewing lyrics? Can somebody share how to do this? Engadget reported that this feature is only available in the US$20 plus the 5 apps.

Puzzling.

My bad, read up at Engadget as well, you need $20 bucks plus 1.1.3 for the full update features.

Apple is smart eh? brows.gif

why not $5 only? 1 app for 1 bucks, hehehe...

mmm...why doesnt apple just include them in the firmware? maybe they thought that the extras deserved a price. strange, this is not like an OS upgrade where we stuck with an earlier version, and the new same device got all the new features preinstalled, while we have to pay for opting for the extras. huhu...

from what i've read from the live keynote address,

"...we're working with two companies. Google, and Skyhook wireless -- we've driven the US and Canada and mapped WiFi hotspots, they have 23m hotspots in their database...."

so maybe it still doesnt work for us yet.

thing is though, the GPS won't come to Msia for a while.
and what happens when someone shifts their router/hotspot. you'll get really bad directions then.

Maybe they map hotspots which are permanent, such as wifi from certain providers like TM, P1, Jaring or Time. They will not blindly record location data of personal wifi routers. Like they're doing now in US, they're partnering with Skyhook Wireless for record of the mapping data.

The downside of this Touch 'GPS' is it is not tracking via the triangulation of cellular tower.

Yes. True that. But then the GPS would be quite pointless when you move out of the City limits when there's no hotspots available.

It doesn't a cellular phone radio built-in. If it had it'd been called the i-Phone. haha...
