...but, until now, and despite having played with various iPods and mp3/4/wma players, I have neither really wanted, and certainly not needed, an mp3 player of any type. The nearest I've come to cracking was seeing one of the new-style "clip" shuffles for not much money in duty free.
That was before. This is now.
We have friends staying, and there are 2 iPod touches floating around the house.
Un-fucking-real. It's not just "I want one of these", but "my life will not be complete until I have one of these". And that's without even playing with the mp3 capabilities.
Simon (will debase self for iPod touch)
Yeah - that all rings quite familiar with me - Never owned an MP3 player, never had any particular inclination to own one and certainly aint a MacWanker by any stretch of the imagination.
But the Touch is a thing of Space age/Futuristic tech horn.

Meat is murder.
Tasty, tasty murder.
I use my iPhone all the time now - feel a bit lost without it with its train, plane and text only web browsing skills. It still feels like when I had my 1st gen ipod -as soon as you show people its capabilities in the flesh they want one. They just need to allow me to browse my mac wifi network when at home from it and I will need some new Kleenex When the sdk arrives soon it will be an essential piece of kit.
Aye, they are made of pure win. Best mobile web browser ever (and yes, I've been the Nokia tablet wotsit)
If you can justify the contract cost, the iPhone is an awesome upgrade from the Touch - same capabilities, but without having to hunt down wifi points. And the phone part of it is also pretty darn cool.
I'm reading you can now unlock any UK purchased iPhone out of the box via software.
Which makes it much more tempting I have to say. The whole 3G thing is holding me back though (not that I ever use 3G much now anyway on the Nokia I have here).

I still don't think there is any way to activate an OTB 1.1.3 phone though, so you still need to sign up for the O2 contract before you can do the downgrade, jail break, reupgrade, unlock....
So unless you buy a used one that someone has activated on O2 (not that hard to find on eBay, avforums etc) it's still going to cost you a lot of your soul to O2.
At last!! Been watching the macrumors announcements and as someone put it 10.5.2 had "more seeds than a watermelon". I thought Duke Nukem Forever was going to come out first.
Leopard now becomes awesome And I can finally get rid of this very buggy stacks drawer icon hack.

All iPhones, including OTB 1.1.3 can be unlocked as of last Friday. This is designed for phones sold after 9th November worldwide - i.e. any phone which isn't AT&T, and AT&T phones with the 4th and 5th digits of their serial number > 44. Apparently.

To be honest, I'm surprised in the UK you can buy the phone and sort the contract later. Especially at places like carphonewarehouse which must have the infrastructure to make you sign up in store.
10.5.2 seems to have broken Cog - songs don't get listed in the main window when you add them, but it shows the duration of the tracks added in the status bar.
, and everybody knows it...
