Another good IM app for the touch is Palringo... Now i'm thinking of going for either Frings or Palringo, not sure which one is better!

Ya kah? I use my iPod touch for jogging and workout actually, doesn't seem to give major problems though (touch-wood )!

But yeah, the nike + iPod works with the touch as well, the only difference is the touch does not require the receiver unlike the nano... If u tap the Settings, there is a nike + iPod option at the bottom of the screen for configuration...

I don't use the included iPod earphones actually... I'm using the rubberized in-ear Earpumps by Sonicgear, which provides an excellent listening pleasure when jogging as well as sweat-resistant!

And for ur information, firmware 2.1 and above cannot be jailbroken as yet... You can only JB the 1.1.X firmware, FYI...

Thats y the in-ear phones with the rubberized padding is the best when doing light exercises such as running on the threadmill or jogging... At least the pads won't absorb the sweat unlike the cloth-based ones that come with the standard earphones... But one problem i have with the Earpumps is the tendency for the phones to start falling off when i've exercised for, say, 40+ minutes and already very sweaty... Bcoz the buds are rubber, they can slip easily!

Hahahahaha, thanks for clearing the misunderstanding... But there is still no news on when the 2nd gen iPod touch can be jailbroken ya?

At least the iTunes Store has better connection today... The page is finally loading properly after days of rotten connection...

Looking for touch ya? Just drop me a PM lor... Hehehe

I agree that the built-in iPod earphones are a bit sucky...

That's y i'm using the Earpump by Sonicgear... It's an affordable in-ear phones and effectively blocks out the surrounding noise, giving a nice listening experience...

I'm selling the Earpump for M$39.00 but it's free with purchase of any iPod from THTgadgets.com... Oh ya, before I forget, there are nine cool colors to choose from!

Well, then let me give u an early welcome to the wonderful world of the iPod touch... Hope U'll have a great time with u upcoming unit, I certainly am enjoying mine since getting it in October!

I agree with ur points there, mate... Which is why i don't quite like to use a combo device such as the iPhone, instead, i prefer to have the touch and a mobile phone as a standalone... As my usage of both the phone and touch are quite heavy, the chances of draining the battery to zero within the day is high and this will cause much inconvenience when needing to, say, make urgent phone calls while listening to songs!

I don't have this problem, mate... After tapping on Settings, u select Wi-Fi... In that screen, u just have to switch On the option of "Ask to Join Networks"... After selecting a favorite network from, say, Starbucks (Timezone), ur touch will automatically detect Timezone whenever u have WiFi enabled in a Starbucks outlet...

Hope that helps!

Well, to put it this way, I was using the touch at KLIA while waiting for my brother to come out at the arrival lounge (nighttime flight yesterday)... I used the iPod to access the 'Net and I waited for my bro for around 35 minutes... During that time, my iPod's battery fell from around 20+% to below 10% while doing the Internet stuff... That was pure surfing btw, and without listening to MP3s...

Guys, i'm looking for a speaker to pair with one of my three iPod (primarily the touch!) and am now stuck between the Klipsch iGroove and Jamo i200...

The iGroove seems to get great reviews on Amazon actually... But the i200 is much cheaper although both have quite similar specs including sound quality... For u guys who may own either one of these speakers, which is the recommended one?

Thanks ya!

Did u update the OS to 2.2? That one has rectified the problems faced by the WiFi service on the touch...

And as for speakers, is the Klipsch or Jamo recommended?

Oh ok... I'm presently basing my options on reviews online actually... And the thing is not all the Apple shops carry either Jamo or Klipsch ya?

Hmmmm, depends on the number of songs or videos u have, as well as any future apps and photos that u intend to download / install... For me, 16GB is more than enough for 700+ songs and around 2k photos... I have only got one miserly video of an iPod touch demo also...

As for YouTube, i can't really comment as i hardly watch it on the touch!

Mate, what is this Winterboard app that u're wishing is available for the touch?

And yeah, i'm also curious as to why Apple developer have not worked out any proposal to enable jailbreaking on the iPod touch 2G? If the 2G can be JB'ed, its attractiveness will sure jump up a great notch for many potential buyers!

Ya kah? As far as i know, we in Malaysia do not have the actual iTunes store, i.e. the one where ppl can purchase music legally... The only open open to us in MYland is the App Store, which is what we are used to seeing in the PC version of iTunes...

Hope that answers ur query!

Then u need to do the mafan way that i did to "spring-clean" my iTunes playlist... I also kena the same problem whereby some songs are also repeated two or three times... So i need to manually delete the repeated songs one-by-one before doing the sync with the iPod...
