iPhone/iPod Touch Thread

[PVB]

One of the limitations of a first gen iPod Touch (Now fixed in the second gen) is the lack of a speaker. If you want to fix this without buying a new iPod you might want to try these

I ordered a set before I decided to upgrade my iPod and they just arrived today. They look a bit odd and bulky hooked up to the dock connector but they work really well and are pretty loud.

Nice find, ordered, cheers for that.

Yep - ordered one, too

Not expecting miracles from it, but I do like to use the metronome app quite a bit at work, and now I'll finally be able to hear it

And heres a couple I didnt do earlier -

Those disjointedish panoramas are awesome

iPod Touch 8gb for me, on its way. Hurrah!


There is now an iPhone version of the lovely DS homebrew paint program Colors!

Dunno what the iPhone version is like - I think it doesn't have pressure sensitivity (presumably because the iPhone screen doesn't). It's really nice for painting watercoloury looking stuff. Also has a playback function where it replays every step you took painting your picture (DS version does anyway... again I dunno about the iPhone one). Relaxing!

I recommend Panolab on the iPhone as easy to use, some very quick impressive results and free

i can finally ditch itunes on my mac mini and start uploading music to my touch using my desktop linux box

i just hope its not vapourware or an elaborate hoax...

its not vapourware. i donated $10 to the cause and am now sat with a copy of the beta version (itll be free via cydia when its finished, but i wanted an early copy and was gonna donate anyway if it was any good. which it is)

i can now upload music to my device via wifi using ssh/scp. currently filling it up with music wirelessly at a nice solid 500kb/sec and it plays just as if it was uploaded via itunes. sweeeeeeeet

incidentally, does anyone know of any programs in windows or linux that can find artwork and embed them in the mp3, so i can do the whole coverflow thing without itunes messing up my carefully organised music collection? does tag&rename embed them, or just do the "cover.jpg" thing in the folder?

My 2g Touch arrived today. The speaker is a little pitiful for video playback but is fine for music. The dedicated volume buttons are really handy (See Apple. You can have more buttons. How about one to switch the wifi on and off so I don't have to fuck around in the menus). The biggest problem is it's a different shape round the back. It's curved rather than flat and the protecive film I bought won't stick because it curves in more than one direction. This is the first Pod I've ever had engraved and I want to keep it pristine.

If you are jailbreaking there is a wifi toggle app in installer that may makeyour life easier....

I bought one of these to protect my iPhone 3g on iLounge's A+rating - its lovely, has a wonderful tactile feel and was cheap too

Orange to go with my car - God how sad am I ?

[WiteWulf]

Obviously no good if you've got one of them rubber things wrapped around your phone but there are some nice gelaskins for the 3G now:

Piku'll be wanting one of these to go on his iPod Touch, no doubt

Yeah, they're cool. I feel I should get some sort of protective case though. I've dropped my N810 twice already.

That's great! And annoyingly not available for 2g iPhones...

I gave in and bought the update for my iPod touch.
I told myself I wasn't going to as I think it's pretty shitty of Apple to charge... anyway.

Any reccomendations people have for some good/fun apps?
I've spent a while having a browse, couple of things have caught my eye but the £5.99 price has put me off somewhat.

Umm, you do know there's nothing but your conscience stopping you from downloading the 2.1 firmware and installing it through iTunes, yeah?

Try the previous page of this very thread, there are a few lists there.

i got this case for my touch. its *lovely*

using a £10 off £20 spend code i found on the internet, i got it for under £15. absolute bargain!

it makes your ipod look infinitely nicer than using one of them nasty silicone skins...
(you can get them for iphone too)

That will do nicely.

Expansys doesn't have the iPhone version, which is a pity as I have a £10 voucher that expires today.

A quick look on eBay suggests about £17 is the price to pay...

Although I'm not sure it looks as good as the edges don't come over like on the picture you show:
