Dunno, I'm not too bothered about things like that. Sounds OK to me.

Last.FM's player is flash, right?
And there's no flash with iPhone/iTouch yet...

No Flash, really? Pre-order cancelled.

Anyone know what WiFi encryption standards it (iPod Touch) supports? The Tech Spec page is somewhat vague on the subject.

Should be the same as the iPhone so WEP, WPA and WPA2;
with PPTP and L2TP support as well.

Ahh, that's good then.

Cheers KB.

How long did it take?

Can it be set to work on a folder?

I used ffmpeg. I can't remember how I installed a version of ffmpeg that works because it seems to be nearly impossible due to nonsense licensing of codecs etc. It took a bit less than 5 minutes (2Ghz Core Duo) and as it was all command line it'll be no problem to assign to a Folder Action.

Nah, it works with YouTube and that so it has to have some sort of Flash support.

I doubt Flash'll happen at all, actually; if this is a platform play, why use someone else's platform (Flash, Java)?

This is, of course, the cue for an iPhone update tomorrow with a Flash player in.

Apple famously asked Google to re-encode for H264, firstly cause of the Apple TV and now as a happy knock on effect for the phone and the ipod

They are still someway off converting the lot though

Oh yeah, I forgot it's a separate app. I think I confused it with my Wii.

Yeah your Wii is mystic and gets easily confused

The lack of divX directly is probably enough reason for me to stick with my battered old Creative Zen (currently operating as a TV player in the lounge).

I just ordered the 16gig touch as a present to me from my wife for the birth of baby Charlie last week, yay lucky me

She had 2ks worth of platinum and diamonds as her gift from me but its a fair balance for all the pain she went through

Heres a promo code for Â£20 off at the apple store against the 16giger ENTMZGJPVJ
