    man i used to like large storage mp3 players, but with the iPod theres really no need. with foobar theres a really cool plugin easy to use to send and delete music, theres really no point in keeping a large amount on your player.

    Who needs 1 TB ... seriously. Unless you listen to FLACs only no one should ever be able to fill 1TB with music you like and will listen to.

    do FLACs even play on iPod... if so will it even matter when playing through headphones/earbuds...

    I don't know but they came to my mind first when thinking of commonly used codecs that produce large files.

    They play ALAC's. But it really doesn't matter, just get some 320's and you'll be ok.

    Wonder if they are gonna put a camera in the iPod touch this year. They probably wont. They will probably just put in a compass or something.

    well a lot of rumors and speculation say that the new iPod touch will have both a rear camera and a front facing camera that will use iOS 4.1's ability to send FaceTime calls via email (since the iPod touch obviously cant make says to initiate them). Also, various LCD panels from the front side of the iPod have been surfacing for a while so the news and speculations point to Apple putting both, if not at least one, camera on the new iPod.

    this can go either way. from various cases from manufactures, the new iPod touch's design remains pretty much the same with the contoured metal backing. however, other rumors contradict this in saying that the new iPod touch's design will be similar to that of the original iPhone/iPod touch, meaning it would be flatter but still rather smooth to the touch instead of "hard" edges.

    Well, there were rumors last year too, and what did we get? I think Apple have pretty much stopped adding features to the iPod touch out of fear that any improvements they make will cannibalize iPhone sales.

    If you already have one then you may as spend that money on a decent digital camera or something. And also, even though it's a frequent mistake, if you have an an 8GB I touch it is a 2G at max. 3G models only come in 32 and 64 GB.

    My prediction: Front camera (VGA) Back camera 3.x mp -> Steve Jobs said to have over 10 million facetime users by the end of the year. k Built-in mic -> For video Faster A4 processor (was it 1 gHz?) -> iPod Touch being marketed as a gaming device. + to keep up with iPad/iPhone4 Retina Display -> OMG GRAPHICS If apple puts in the same 5mp camera as the iPhone they'll even kick Flip out of the market :O but that probably wont happen.

    Date: Mon, Aug 30 2010 12:39:04

    I read Engadget, umpcportal and akihabaranews for Tech-related updates. And therefore I am amused by Frips post. Back camera? I doubt that, since it would overlap with the iPhone way too much. This is also the reason why the iPad has none. iPod/iPhone as a gaming device? lol. While it's pretty impressive considering these devices are originally phones/pmps, iPhone gaming is a joke without physical buttons. Since devices like the ICP won't ever become mainstream, iPhone gaming is pretty much a dead end. Also - inb4 all apple fanboys arguing with 3rd party support, good graphics and emulators via jailbreak. True hardcore gamers aren't impressed by the use of an onscreen analog stick.

    Yh i totally agree with Frip with the gaming thing. iPod Touches are mostly targeted at teenagers so it would make sense to try improve the gaming exprience (with gyroscope, improved accelerometer, like the iphone 4), but it wont improve gaming Drastically, only a bit.

    lets see.. starting with the iPod touch 4(G): Apple A4 Chip Retina display Front-facing vga camera for FaceTime back camera ~3.0 MP stills and video and LED flash(probably not 5 bc of the depth of the iPod - iphone 4 is 8mm deeper) probably built in mic if you have FaceTime and video recording not completely regarding the iPod touch 4 but possibly the current 3G models will drop to the 199 price and the iPod touch 4 will be the 299+ price range... iPod Nano 6(G) Small form factor that all the rumors and cases are claiming with the iphone 4 like volume buttons etc.. probably a hybrid between these two things: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RC0JU0QWcGw/THnMjiRJUyI/AAAAAAAAAA0/pGIeJZUtaXY/s800/The%20iPod%20Watch.jpg and http://a.imageshack.us/img96/178/ipodnanomocklukeyy19.jpg First pic im just seeing that the interface might represent a similar look to what apple might do (nevermind the watch part) and im looking at possibly the 2nd pic of the 2nd link as a selectable cover flow option (but not likely on a small 3cm x 3cm touch screen) Apple will still need to have some awesome way to navigate the music though on a small screen that size. http://www.tuaw.com/2010/08/30/tuawxperts-september-event-predictions/ I'm kinda agreeing with the general statements here..

    They may not make an 8GB model as they didn't with the 3rd generation. If they do make a 8GB model it'll be more than US$199 as the 2nd Generation 8GB has an RRP of US$199 and the new one comes with more stuff. I hope the price won't be that much more than $199.

    I would wait to find out which camera the ipod got, it seems like it might be a lower resolution than the iphone. It says hd, but the still pictures it can take are only half the normal resolution, is the "720p" just 360 x2? SO there is some question about whether it is the same 5mp camera as the Iphone Also just to keep UPSB informed and not caught up in a fog. The nano doesn't seem to be able to play back video. It is unclear of the quality of the Ipod Touches rear camera. The iTV is nothing special and having only renting sucks ass. If hacked maybe it'll be something to consider. I am very excited with the new lineup though, and will probably pick myself up a new 32gb Ipod Touch 4g if the camera is the 5mp =P

    I pulled this from TUAW... Back Camera specs broken down to understandable information: 960 x 720 = 691200 Divide it by 1000000 (or 1048576 for purists) and round off appropriately to get the value in MegaPixels 691200 / 1048576 = .65917969 or 0.7 (rounded)

    About camera: (Wall of text)

    Spoiler
    legendarytrainer wrote: I see a lot of people on the forum complaining about the 0.7MP rear camera on the new iPod touch. I've come to say that everyone is probably worrying over nothing. Let's start with a common myth. Most people believe that the more megapixels your camera has, the better the quality of the photos taken will be. This is a lie. Megapixels are a marketing gimmick. A megapixel, by definition, is one million pixels. so a 15 megapixel picture will have about 15 million pixels in it. Pixels ar ejust a digital unit of measurement. A 15 megapixel picture is HUGE at full size. Think about your average computer screen. Mine, for example, has a resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. Now if you multiply that you'll get 1049088 pixels total on my computer screen at any time. Divide that by 1 million and you get a 1 MP picture. Yes, one megapixel. That means that a 15 megapixel is 15 times bigger than my computer screen. If you've ever looked at different sets of camera, you would notice quickly that most of the compact digital camera are around 14 to 15 megapixels while the much more expensive dSLRs are generally a bit lower; 10 to 12 megapixels normally. Now why would you want to pay [B]more[/B] for a camera with less megapixels? Because megapixels have very, VERY little to do with the picture quality. The biggest determining factor in photo quality is the sensor size. When you click the shutter button on your camera, your shutter opens and exposes the sensor for a set amount of time. The sensor will pick up details of light and such and turn that into a picture. When the sensors are smaller, such as on most compact digital cameras, the quality will be cut by a bit. The reason why dSLRs are much more expensive is becasue their sensors are VERY large. They are large enough so that more detail can be brought into the picture. If you look at a professional picture and a comapct camera picture of more megapixels at a same small size they will look the same. Think of it this way. When you're resizing a picture to be smaller on your computer, its like the retina display. When you make it smaller, you cant distinguish between individual pixels because they are so small that your puny human eyes can't see each idividual one. Now blow both of the photos up (enlarge them, no dynamite use here.) Sure the compact photo will be larger, but because of the smaller sensor, the detail will be lost. If you've ever take a small picture from the internet and tried to make it larger, it ends up pixely. Thats becasue your trying to make something show more detail that isn't even there. With a large sensor, it puts more detail into it, so when its enlarged, the detail is much, much better. When people on these forums are complaining about the megapixels they think they're complaining about the picture quality. Here is a picture the size of one that a new iPod touch would take. Keep in mind this photo was not taken by by an iPod touch, I am simply showing off the size of the picture that will be taken. 960x720 Picture Now the size is really not that bad. 95 percent of the people owning an iPod touch will not use this camera for proffesional use. They will use it to take pictures of their friends or whatever and then upload them to Facebook or Twitter or Flickr. Most of these sites rezise your picture anyways! Go back to that picture and, if you have a capable browser, zoom out a bit to how big you think the picture would be on Facebook. Not so bad huh? Since the new iPod touch is capable of HD video recording (which if you didnt know, a single frame of 720p video is also less than one megapixel, it's about 0.9 megapixels) then the sensor in the camera must be atleast OK quality. Since the device isn't even out yet, we can't determine the quality of the photos. We can determine the size, but not the quality. Most likely the camera will be great for just web use like Facebook and such. Prints may be ok depending since most quality prints are printed at 300dpi (dots per inch) which is basically pixels per inch. Again this is why a big photos and a smaller photo of better quality look the same when at the same small size. I could be totally wrong and it could take the worst pictures on earth. I just want to point out that people should stop complaining (atleast for now while no one actually has the device.) I hope this helped and if it made enough sense, maybe it will be stickied and we can stop all of these threads about the 'sucky' camera. EDIT: There have been a few posts as to why you cant take a picture at the higher res HD resolution. The best solution that I can find is that its simply an Apple limitation. I found some info in another thread about a possible explanation. I can't remember the thread but if it was you that posted that, let me know in a post and I'll credit you. It seems like maybe instead of a 0.7 megapixel camera that upscales its video to HD, its actually a 0.9 megapixel camera which is downscaling photos. Im sure if thats correct than a jailbreak app would be able to override that limitaion.

    It isn't 5MP, but then again, it's an iPod. Nobody should be buying the new iPod Touch just because of the camera only, tbh. I see it just like an added bonus, maybe for a clip or two on the go, if it's possible :P //edit 32 or 64?

    i have no interest in this apple bullshittery, but just to refute that wall of text that frip posted from legendarytrainer; the lens should be the most important part of a camera. yes the sensor has a large factor, but lets face it, the first thing an image has to do is pass through the glass, if the glass isn't clear, clean, and good quality, i don't give a fuck what sensor you have, it'll record crap. quod erat demonstrandum

    The whole Apple store is shit because they only let you keep the apps you bought in your iTunes account for 3 user licenses. If you install iTunes on more than 3 different computers, the 4th one won't be able to access your apps, so if you reformat more than 3 times you can't access the apps you paid for.

    I agree with you that that you don't really need an iTouch to vibrate, but I think that even with Gorilla Glass the screen protector would be useful. I would rather get a case than a screen protector though, I'll get an Otterbox Defender if they make one for it.

    Vibration would also be helpful for times when you're in a noisy environment and some notification sounds (like mail or calendar events) are too quite. The vibration would add to the notification to make it more likely that you will get the notification instantly. I can relate to this personally because even just sticking my iPod in my jeans and walking around or sitting will be enough to muffle out the sound. I have a 1G so all the sounds are little beeps and bloops <_<. @Frip When you open the iPod and film a combo is it possible that you could do some tests spinning really fast (and smooth) in different lighting settings? I think I'm eventually gonna get one and I want to know how it will look considering that that will be my cam :emo:

I mean sure... tiny little thing, look at what it can do. But it could do so much more... and apple purposely stunts it's products it's fustrating. The fact that they can, could say something about consumers and the fact that there really is no competition... anyways, the video quality is pretty bad... and the picture quality is worse, not even addressing the ticking problem. (wifi causes ticking sound while recording sound)

    It's not a PMP... "it's also, an iphone without a contract" that seems to be there goal...and even if that was just a sliip, they've added a lot of functionality which takes it out of the PMP category.... It has a PMP function... but if you're looking for a PMP you have the classic, or any other brand...

    Um, the price is ridiculous, realize you're paying a pretty high premium (build costs wise). Realize that the ram is only 256 or so mb, and with most portable deices with much more these days. Next year there will be a hardware update, better camera probably, better ram hopefully, better cpu hopefully. The screen is not the same, noticeably different and of less quality, It's slightly slower than the iphone 4 in tasks, will crash more, speaker can be quiet from annicdotes, microphone has a ticking sound when recording with wifi, no oleophobic coating... I know you said dont mention the camera but let me jsut talk about how crap it is for a second. The quality is shit, some of the best camera apps don'twork, no flash no flash web browsing wise, no hdr, sound quality is sub par.

    The price is decent, most consumer electronics are sold for 200% their original cost, there's no circumventing it. IMO $300 for a 32 GB device that people actually make apps for and is updated on a regular basis seems like a pretty good deal to me. RAM really doesn't matter in practical terms. Also, I could care less about multitasking, I've had two Symbian S60 devices, which are based on multitasking, and I have intentionally ran multiple apps at a given time around...once. If anything, my OCD frequently makes me check to see if I accidentally left something running.

    Okay so on Saturday I ordered my iPod Touch (made good use of my 10% off eBay coupon). I got the 4th gen 32 GB for $260 (would've been $250, but the person I was gonna buy from ran out T_T) Anyways, I've never had an iPod so how does it work...? Like I'm not sure what to expect, obviously I plan on Jailbreaking it but like when you plug it into your computer, I thought it would act as any mass storage device and let you transfer files to it through Windows Explorer. But then I heard otherwise from someone with a jailbroken device; apparently you HAVE to use iTunes and you HAVE to synchronize everytime? It sounds really weird to me. Plus MediaMonkey doesn't support iOS 4.2 yet :(

    It doesn't act like a normal USB where you just plug it in, pops up and your good to go, it requires you to sync it because well it wants to be more organized and since apple thinks that everyone has iTunes plus ipod touch has apps ^_^ so it requires itunes.

    Well, I use iPT 4G and I gotta say its sound quality quite between average and excellent For apps, you can either 1. Use Installous - only if Jailbroken (requires, I think, AppSync? Also from Cydia) 2. Download cracked apps (.ipa) from the Web on your PC then transfer via iTunes - only if Jailbroken 3. Buy them :P For file transfers, I recommend WinSCP only if your internet connection doesn't get cut off all the time. Requires iFile and Terminal App from Cydia I also getting recommend getting the VLC app, Facebook, Twitter, Mercury browser app, and Tapatalk app ^^ that is all.

    Because I didn't know about AppZone until you told me :3 But searching for .ipas through a filehost search sounds like the easiest way to get a virus, plus it's a lot more tedious. Also, how can I tell if an app supports iOS 4? Like here, it doesn't really say http://www.appzone.eu/angry-birds-a11696.html Alsoooo, do all apps that support iOS 4 have 960 x 640 res? Because all these screenshots are 480 x 320 like the other iPods. EDIT: Okay I think I understand now. So iOS is backwards compatible, for the most part, with all iOS 3.x.x apps, but those apps obviously won't magically become retina display size, they'll just stretch to fit the screen...which kinda sucks IMO because 480 x 320 is a shitty res. But some apps, like Angry Birds v1.4.4 are made for 960 x 640 while retaining backwards compatibility with iOS 3.x.x So do all apps that are designed for, and only for, iOS 4 designed in 960 x 640?

  210. chris
    Date: Wed, Nov 24 2010 22:29:45

    Well,files in filedude, for most cases, are included as links if you try to download from Installous, but that's a risk. But so far, I haven't got any viruses :D For iOS 4 apps, I'm guessing they are.

    You can buy all of them at their website, but you can find them cheaper on eBay and amazon. Except white is only available from the website (its sold out everywhere else). I hate the other colors so I just paid normal retail for white. www.switcheasy.com My thoughts on it so far... I really couldn't use my iPod without it: -It makes the home button soooo tactile. It's lovely. -Also makes other buttons more tactile, IMO the volume rocker is only a little less of a nightmare >_>" -It's really soft O___O -Doesn't collect lint like other cases, whatever it does collect is really easy brush off. -It's a pretty tight fit, it's definitely not loose like a crappy silicone case, despite being so soft.

    1. I'm used to Opera when browsing on mobile devices, so its a matter of comfort. 2. Opera compresses automatically compresses pages you visit through their servers so things load so much faster. 3. Safari doesn't fucking remember passwords. EDIT: Also, am I the only one that doesn't like Gyroscope/Accelerometer controlled Games? It seems as if they're meant for technologically oblivious people so they can be like "OH SO COOL! IT DETECTS MY MOVEMENT, OMG I CAN CONTROL THE SUPER MONKEY BALL" It's just so impractical and makes everything a shitload harder.

    OKAY QUESTION. Is it not possible to have two things have priority over a theme? Ex: I have User Lock and User Wallpaper, both checked and placed on top of Suave HD 4 Theme (which is also checked). Though, only the user lock works. Also, if I check "No Docked Icon Labels" I just get black docked icon labels, was the intention to blend in with the default black background, or is my Springboard just retarded?

    Back to 4.2.1. Lol, highest I got now is 170MB. ^^ As for Apple's strategy? Part of it also is to make products which deteriorate easily and therefore making consumers upgrade or buy more. Also, the constant upgrade of iOS and Apple's compatibility issues with devices (which is of course innovation and upgrade) affects this as well. How about they just make a "supermodel" of each iDevice, like say upgradig hardware, but only limited stock?

    Nah, it's because i used a custom firmware. I got the original 4.3.2 from Apple's site, then JB'd it using sn0wbreeze 2.6 and now it's 29.1, which is more substantial than 28.9 :)

    Switcheasy Colors Case should be quite a good case, since it also protects the home button, well almost all, except the back camera, mic, front cam, and screen. As for Cydia - you can downgrade your firmware (needs some requirement called SHSH) - you can tweak up your iDevice so it's more "user-friendly" and/or cooler. There are some cool tweaks that are worth jailbreaking for. :) - themes (but not really a big fan of those) - FileSystem? (iFile) - Free apps? lol that's what I can think of atm.

    As of now Cydia is down, but I'd say the difference is that Installous is for getting pirated apps that you usually have to pay for in the app store. Cydia is more for tweaks and themes and user made stuff (as opposed to publisher made). Though I prefer to transfer themes from my PC, but Cydia is a much easier way to get them on your device and install them.

    1. Perhaps he meant pixel quality? you can see pixels. :/ 2. Dreamboard does use a lot of RAM, but if you use Aero theme, you cannot seem to notice the huge use of RAM because it's so smooth in terms of animation and stuff. As for battery life, I guess 4.1 is the best, but for my iPod atm, the best firmwares, in terms of battery life are 4.1, 4.2.1 and 4.3.3.

    Any of y'all Nigras know how to sync my music with iTunes without losing Cydia Apps/Tweaks? I've been syncing with MediaMonkey, but it messes up embedded album art, whereas when I first synced with iTunes, it didn't.

    Wait, why would you lose your tweaks and apps? It shouldn't erase your data, unless you're doing something wrong. .__. I remember getting 170MB with my iPod. Now, I'm only getting 130MB max, after freeing memory. :/

    Not unless you restore it :/ I've had no problems with mine, it just syncs the apps by itself whereas i set the music to be manually edited. FUCK. i wanted to update to 4.3 from 4.2.1 and someone i kept getting a "Your device is eligible for this action" or someshit like that, when i'm updating with a downloaded 4.3 firmware.. so now i'm stuck on 4.3.5 not jailbroken -.- fml

    Alright so after using the Ubuntu font for so many months I decided to finally change it to something else, when I respringed my iPod got stuck at the boot logo. Is restoring the only way to fix it? And is there a way to restore without updating to 4.3.5? And is there a way I can get my files off...mainly my pokemon save?

  364. XYZaki
    Date: Sun, Sep 25 2011 16:53:07

  365. chris
    Date: Mon, Sep 26 2011 01:51:35

    What app do you use to change fonts? Try tinyumbrella's exit recovery or something. If you were able to backup those calendar events in iTunes, I am pretty sure that when you restore the iPod, it will be able to get those.

  366. SuiXidaL
    Date: Mon, Sep 26 2011 11:17:06

    Back up your entire ipod on Cydia, if you use it. You can also update to a higher firmware, one that isn't the latest OS. 4.2.1 -> 4.3 instead of 4.2.1 -> 4.3.5

  367. chris
    Date: Mon, Sep 26 2011 11:33:15

    4.3.3 is more like it. But then, you wouldn't be able to get your calendar events. @XYZaki

    Oh I use Bytafont. And I'm gonna try recboot. If I update, will it wipe everything? How do I restore in iTunes without updating?

  369. chris
    Date: Wed, Sep 28 2011 09:04:43

    @XYZaki Weird, bytafont didn't give me any problems... you can restore if you download an ipsw according to what you need. If you want to stay at 4.1, you can try the links here (I'm pretty sure you have an iPod 4G, but meh :P) http://www.redmondpie.com/download-ios-4.1-final-version-for-iphone-4-3gs-3g-ipod-touch/ if you want to update to say, a specific software (4.1 -> 4.2.1), you'll have to find ipsw's as well. As for the iTunes part, BEFORE you restore, don't forget to hold SHIFT button before clicking Restore. http://tamsijungle.tamoggemon.com/2008/07/25/restore-your-ipod-touch-to-any-firmware-version/ Hope this helps :) Just be careful though :)

    Yup. It's free on contract. Phones are ostensibly cheap in America, but people don't realize that they're being overcharged for mediocre 3G data to compromise for the $999 MSRP device that you bought for 100 dollas.

    There are times when the Springboard just gets stuck because of low RAM to open the app, especially when it is unlocked from sleep mode and then one quickly opens an app, which might mean that there are some other operations going on when iDevice is in sleep.

    THis is basically a Windows extension, so you'll be opening the iPod's contents in a Windows Explorer Environment :) iOS 5 GM Note: Wi-Fi reception/sensitivity has been good so far, compared to 4.3.3. Loading speed of apps (particularly native apps) has been pretty quick. Sensitivity to hardware input is enhanced. Opening of folders is quick. Quirks so far: 1. Twitter Installation in Settings. Press Install and no feedback from the Device (if Wi-Fi is turned off.) 2. Lockscreen Music App - When skipping to another song, music app momentarily "pauses the music" then plays it again. If the music has album art embedded in it, it will result to a quick flicker of album art. 3. Wi-Fi sync is really "Wi-Fi sync" atm. 4. There are times when the Springboard just gets stuck because of low RAM to open the app, especially when it is unlocked from sleep mode and then one quickly opens an app, which might mean that there are some other operations going on when iDevice is in sleep. 5. Unable to open music containing very long lyrics in the info. Crashes. in other news... iTunes 10.5beta7 is unstable.

    Exit out of recovery mode first. Depends on what you do. But try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw then, that's when you backup. And I think the infinite Apple loop is another story. :dunno: And WOW... Either the Wi-Fi here at uni is messing up or the iOS 5 GM is messed up.
