Re: iTouch

thanks, so using Itunes is my only option for adding apps, unless it's jailbroken right?

Correct. Plus once it is jailbroken, you can get some really sweet themes, backgrounds, etc.

Re: iTouch

anyone here personally jailbreak their itouch? how long does it take, how difficult is it?

Re: iTouch

When I first got my original 1st gen itouch 3 years ago, jailbreakin was slightly tricky and took me a while to figured out.

Do you have a 3rd gen itouch? If so its pretty straight forward and will not take longer than 10 minutes. However it a tethered jailbreak. Forgot to mention earlier Winterboard app is a must have as well.

Re: iTouch

However it a tethered jailbreak.

Yes 3G...

...tethered?

Did you notice your itouch functioned slower in general after it was jailbroken?

Re: iTouch

Pandora is a must have app as well.

I've never had the urge to jailbreak mine. there's such a wealth of apps on there already, not sure that there's anything only accessible via jailbreak that seems worth the trouble, IMO. Never really looked into it, though.

Re: iTouch

Nope never had an performance issues after the jailbreak.

The tethered jailbroken itouch will reset once you power cycle off. However you will not lose your settings. I agree with toasty, there is definitely a wealth of apps even without the jailbreak, however if you enjoy fiddling around and hacking gadgets, then its a must do

Re: iTouch

I didn't really think about Shoutcast Radio, but that would be sweet to have.

Re: iTouch

^It's similar to sirius, but free.


I installed iCall, it works really well...now I can make free calls from my itouch, no jailbreaking necessary.

I also installed an app called "where" and love it...

Re: iTouch

Is iCall similar to Skype? Skype is a free app as well.

Re: iTouch

I think icall simplifies things a bit... you download it and then dial to make calls, that's it.

Re: iTouch

Google Voice is (supposedly) coming to iPhone / iTouch via a web add on of some sort.
