- Tobark, on 11/09/2007, -6/+132"Maps screenshot after the break."
Whoever started this and "after the jump" should be bludgeoned to death with an OLPC. - ronnsprocket, on 10/24/2007, -4/+107why are they locking an mp3 player? it doesnt come with a contract. aside from the obvious physical differences, how is this any different than selling a computer?
i want a touch because i just sit at work all day beside a computer networked to my home computer... more than 16gb isnt really important to me. however, playing NES in the bathroom has to be 10x better than jamco bowling. - twoboxen, on 11/08/2007, -14/+86I'm tired of people defending all of Apple's actions like they're always looking out for the consumer priority 1. Keep in mind this company deliberately (bug, my ace) disabled calendar functionality, kept ipod prices high when the internal cost dropped 30+%, and dropped the iphone price $200 in 2-3 months (which sounds nice until you wonder why it started off so high).
I enjoy my mac and all, but geez people, they're a corporation in the same lines as Google, Yahoo, Dell, and *GASP* Microsoft. Just wipe the shock off of your faces and accept that they, too, will screw you. - hunchback, on 11/08/2007, -4/+43for a moment there I thought the title meant Apple did this, not so, this is a third party hack. Apple should do this themselves goddammit!
- aaeyers, on 11/08/2007, -5/+43In 2 sentences, you have managed to achieve 5 grammatical errors. Congratulations, please do not post again.
- freakyterrorist, on 10/14/2007, -17/+51Great!
Now apple will learn not to cripple perfectly good devices to make more profits! - brstilson, on 11/08/2007, -4/+35There *have* to be more than five.
First Sentence:
1. Started with a lowercase letter
2. Apple is a proper noun but started with a lowercase letter
3. Microsoft is also a proper noun but also started with a lowercase letter
4. "bloatwares" is not a word. The plural of bloatware is bloatware
5. "softwares" also not a word. The plural of software is software
6. "softwares" is also misspelled, dropping the "t"
7. The statement doesn't even qualify as a sentence
8. Usage of "*****" makes no sense whatsoever
Second Sentence:
1. Improper use of "There." Correct form is "They're" or "They are"
2. No comma or "and" between "sucks" and "so"
3. No period at the end
So that's 11 errors, actually - lar3ry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21How does ATT affect the iPod Touch? It's not a phone, dammit!
- ZicklePop, on 10/19/2007, -10/+26Apple hasn't learned anything by this, they will brick your iPod touch now.
- bkemper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I might also be so that Apple can sell you every app that goes onto the touch, via the iTunes Store.
- bobbothegrayson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15If Apple were to release Apps on the iTunes store, for free, podcast style. I'd love it, but i doubt that will happen. So lets just never update :)
- 80hd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Apple wants the touch locked down because if both products have the same apps, why would you want to but an iPhone? They want you to pay a monthly fee to AT&T that they get a share of.
- liquidhalcyon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Nice use of OLPC in a comment. +5 Digg-geek pts.
- RadicalEdward, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14TUTORIAL FOR WINDOWS http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=43088 ...
- norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Listen up Apple! THIS is the reason I'm buying a Touch, so please don't ***** it up.
- missingnoh4x, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Second sentence: Their.
- pizza, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13There's a possibility that the Touch & iPhone are actually running Leopard. If this is true, the SDK may not be available till after Leopard is available later this month.
- sparkrainfir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11i understand why they don't want 3rd party apps on the iPhone... keeping your phone secure is super important. however, the iPod touch should have been open from day one, especially since you won't have access to wifi all the time to get to the safari apps...
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9You're right. *****.
- MinorLemming, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9No, I haven't stopped to do that, because I don't believe an SDK is coming. With the iPod, they allowed very specific developers access to an SDK and then sold their products through ITMS. Why would they do any different with the new version of the iPod?
- aduzik, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Considering that the jailbreak was achieved by exploiting a security flaw in the TIFF image library, Apple does have a compelling reason to close that hole in the next update. It's a security risk. That's reason enough for me to update.
- missingnoh4x, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Now add Flash and Java, and crack it to run all the Game Boy and NES roms I play on my 5th gen iPod, and I might consider getting one.
- popothebright, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'll tell you why:
Because Apple, which used to be a pretty cool company, has sadly learned too many lessons from Microsoft, Sony and the Music Industry. They don't make open platforms. They're increasingly proprietary at every turn.
Anyone who still thinks Apple is a cute little company hasn't been paying attention. They're hardasses like the rest of them now.
And Google is right behind them... - bkemper, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Apple may have agreed in their contract with AT&T not to include phone OR e-mail OR SMS/Chat capabilities in any other small mobile device that could possibly compete with the iPhone itself for those uses.
- Trax91, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Grammatically owned.
- Onetrack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I did this last night.. using maps on mine now..
Just follow the jailbreak step by step and it works.. the nes emu is cool.. but I really like notes / maps and the ability to add in events.
Silly apple.. just make this stuff available to begin with - and quit the corporate greed. - MioTheGreat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Why on earth are you digging me down?
I really want to get an iPod Touch, but I won't be able to use it at school, because it doesn't support WPA 802.1x w/ PEAP.
I'm sure a lot of people at college/work have the exact same issue. - Angostura, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not if there was a proper SDK released.
- kingkilr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7The thing is, this forces Apple to either allow this, or provide something really compelling in the next patch, no one will upgrade to 1.1.2 just because it breaks their hackage, the reason anyone bother to hack 1.1.1 after 1.0.2 was because they wanted the stuff in 1.1.
- Gustomucho, on 10/15/2007, -0/+6Security risk? How many people get their Ipod hacked by outside people? The tiff file is 1 part of the Jailbreak, it takes 74 steps to do it. If anyone manage to do it all while you Ipod is in your pocket I would be rather suprised.
- fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7No it doesn't. It doesn't force Apple to do anything at all.
They will break it all and lock it down further on the next update because the reality is the few people bent on hacking iPhones / Touch's simply don't affect the marketshare at all. Consumers will buy them whether they can have mail and whatever else on it or not. - Orng, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Or he's a Canadian cod fisherman named Kris
- popothebright, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5Meet the next Microsoft.
- lickmygiggle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5There are plenty of reports of locked, never been hacked iphones being bricked by the 1.1.1 update.
- lar3ry, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5Actually, the word was possessive in the second sentence, so it should be "Their," you grammar Nazi!
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5uname -a on an iPhone reports a kernel version of 9.x (sorry I forget exactly which). Current Tiger kernel is 8.10.1 (on an Intel Mac), so the iPhone certainly looks like its running a Leopard Kernel.
- aegis9975, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Thanxs. But 74 steps; holy f*ck that's long and complicated.
- HonoredMule, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Try slowing down and doing less better. The rest of the world will somehow have to deal with the shortage of maina231 comments.
- spate, on 10/14/2007, -0/+4Isn't there a Belkin accessory for taking notes with iPods? Wonder if someone'll be able to get some VoIP action going on these things now..
- bobbothegrayson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Is it just me, or is that far too complicated?
- demodawid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The "after the jump" saves space on RSS readers.
- optikalblitz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Its especially annoying that you can already see what's going on "after the break" when you're scrolling down to see what else there is.
Is "the break" supposed to be all the ads sprawled across the article? - dl27, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php ...
74 steps just to get jailbreak working!! ... maybe i'll just use mine as it came and wait for some one click hacks - 80hd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I'm totally hyped about the touch now that free maps and mail are not a fantasy
- MioTheGreat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3What, exactly, do you think 802.1x is? When used in context of a wireless device, it means a wireless authentication scheme used with WPA. With a wired device, it means auth. over ethernet.
You people aren't as tech savvy as you should be.... - duzytata, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I wanted to connect to my wireless network at school and couldn't. I found this on the web.
"Currently, the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch do not support WPA with 802.1x, a requirement for "osuwireless" connectivity. Users are prompted only for a password when selecting "WPA" as their encryption type, which indicates that the device is only capable of WPA-PSK, not WPA-Enterprise.
In order for the iPhone or iPod Touch to be compatible with the OSU wireless network, an update would need to be made available from Apple with 802.1x support." - carrera594, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I suggest to wait the Touch dev team is planning to release their own noob friendly version.

Check Under Progress. - twoboxen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"apple was not sure of its success" HAHHAHA, yeah right. People had been drooling over the iPhone since BEFORE january and BEFORE they even knew what it offered. Not buying it for a second.
- TejInLA, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I think it's because you didn't mention the WPA portion.
- DarkDx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3The famous TIFF exploit. It was used in the PSP, now in the Ipod touch and this looks very great! You can do the glitch in the PS3 but nobody has released a ***** modchip or hdloader WHEEENNNN!!!!!?????
