Let me know what you think of the Ipod Touch. I'm especially interested in hearing about how the wifi internet access is ...

My friend got one and she loves it. The internet access works great, but obviously you need to be in a hot spot, it's not a separate service.
Other than that, I just got another classic to replace my old one...160gigs for less than touch! |

Ok so not only was I able to post this forum on wi-fi, I was also able to download cool apps (FREE) for facebook, myspace, flash player, a bunch of free games which are arcade style and some cool utilities too.
For example......if you have the iPod touch or iPhone, imagine being able to control your iTunes on your computer............ from your mobile device. Very seamless setup, just enter a 4 digit code prompted on the computer and now you have full control of your songs, playlists etc right from your iPod or iPhone!!! So, last night.......I connected the laptop to the audio video receiver and went to bed. Then...this morning I woke up, woke up the ipod touch and hit play on the utility....dolby surround sound with my favorite music to wake up to........and I am not a morning person so this stuff helps bigtime lol. I also did more research on "jailbreaking" an iPod / iPhone. Jailbreaking is the process of basically removing any restrictions on the iPod / iPhone so that you can now install apps on the device OUTSIDE of apple's "App Store". You can change background colors, the appearance of the screen, etc.... ALL WITHOUT VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY. :-) They have jailbroken the iPhone 3G and iPod 1G. Not my 2G yet. It is in the works though and a release is expected next month.

Cool all helpful info. Glad you're liking it.
I'm on the verge of getting a 2g touch but not sure if i should hold off for maybe a 3r gen version? Is the 8gb too little if i only intend to use it for music? And if you come across any sweet applications do share with us which ones you like. Ofcourse, FREE ones are always preferred. Isn't there a DEV team that has created a jailbreak - yellowsnow? Go to Gizmodo, the Gadget Guide and search for jailbreak or yellowsnow. Should give you the info.

RObo..thanks for the feedback on the ipod...just some more questions....
1. Can i upload - via itunes - songs that were downloaded of p2p websites or will I only be able to upload music from CDs I own? 2. Can I only add/remove songs using itunes on my computer or can I go to other computers to change stuff on the ipod? (one thing I don't like about apple stuff ) 3. bluetooth?

Additionally, I dont know if you have heard this, but Apple has now announced DRM free music. For 30 cents extra per song, you can pretty much download anything you want and distribute it to anyone you want. This means that Limewire and the old Napster type of software will be back with a vengeance. And this means that your concerns will go away. Quote:

Nike plus uses bluetooth as well though so I am glad they put bluetooth in. New iPods dissected, iPod touch 2G has Bluetooth. Sorta - Ars Technica also check this out 5 Must-Have Jailbroken Apps at Hack the iPod touch
