Changed mine to Alaska.

Previously, iTunes took away the availability to create an iTunes US account without credit card but
it's still doable with an iTunes Gift Card.
I remembered there's a forumer which post the way to register it with a nice picture but don't know where.
As for now, I'm not sure whether you still can create an US iTunes account without credit card/iTunes Gift Card.
Do remember that you have to provide correct information for the specific state, as in their postcode and phone area code, which you could easily Google for it.

For purchasing application, some of them are FOC but some not.
But if you wanna get any application regardless of free or not, you have to create an iTunes accound of
the respective country to purchase the application on the specific conutry iTunes.
Eg. I've a US iTunes account which mean I'm liable to purchase or download anything in US iTunes.
Note the bold word.

As for tax, it depends on which state of the address that you put in your Billing Address and they will tax you accordingly.
Every state in US tax differently. NY tax 8.5% while Louisiana tax around 9.2% base on our own billing information. Do mind it's just some approximate figure.
Of course there's some state that are tax-free for digital download.
Hope that you are not too lazy to click on the previous page, we'd earlier discussed it.
It won't take you a while loading it and there's some info on this page too.
Whole list of state that are tax-free for digital download.

iTunes Gift Card, you can find it in garaga sale.
To make your life easier, Crazy.SoT.Gila are one of the seller too. Do PM him as he offered a bargain price for it.
How it works? Just like a prepaid card. You top up and there, enjoy your shopping spree.

I hope it clear your thoughts and welcome to join iPod Touch fan's club.

As for now, there's a lot of dust at there and I'm embarrassed to show it.

I supposed you didn't notice that iTunes did change their policy few times.
Few months back, there wasn't a 'None' option.
Just to clear something out.

That's good.
It was the reason that I purchased my first iTunes Gift Card just to register a US iTunes
but regardlessly, I never regret but instead I'm enjoying it so much!

Oh I left this out, sorry.
You can only use specific gift card for the specific country only.

I've tried it and they didn't tax me now.

I hope they could change for me too.

From what I've seen so much, yes it's something to enable to us 3rd party application.

Haha unfortunately, yes. You need an iTunes account to download free application form iTunes.
The best place, I mean most of iPod Touch user registered under US iTunes since there's a lot of stuff to download.

People around should not be lazy to look around Google as it really provides wide range of information.

We're not trying to be mean or what but don't always expect people to spoon feed you, learn to be independent.

Who do you get your IS from?

Uhm I wouldn't agree with posting it at the first page as a matter of facts, it could be easily obtained through Googles.
Don't be lazy.
The first page would be good to provide some essential information regarding the iPod Touch itself,
not the after sales stuff.

Added on February 11, 2009, 5:28 pmOh ya I missed something out, it doesn't matter where you purchased it from.
My unit is from Singapore and I'm using US iTunes.

Added on February 11, 2009, 5:29 pmI got mine from Stephen, forum name tan_alliance and sadly he say he's not possible to do so.

Is it possible to do so?
I never heard of such things though.

Added on February 11, 2009, 6:13 pmIf can't then never mind, I'll try to ask ZAGG about it.
By anyway, there still not any scratches even though I've been using it like few months already.

Haha use it straight away. Oh ya some advice to you, do not, I mean DO NOT ever leave your battery to 0% to take care of it's battery life.
You can just charge it when it reached around 40% to prolong it's life too.

Hey guys, where's the guy selling iPod charger huh?
I only saw this portable charger but I don't really trust this seller.
4 post all the while and all in regards with selling stuff?

Any other link around?

Most of the stuff, as I know, are assembled in China so what's wrong with it coming from China?

Or if you wanna show off your shiny iPod, I'd recommended you for InvisibleSHIELD or BodyGuardz.
Maybe you can try Neo or Rebel.
If you are a careless person, don't go for these though. Might go for some pouch like Moshi Pouch.

You really should try Googling around more.
No offence.

Maybe a couple of Google will get you the answer.
