This is becoming increasingly important as we see more and more of how Apple has crippled this device to force it to be a "dumb" media player instead of the smart player it should be that includes some common and desirable tools for folks who don't want/need an iPhone but want a device to suppl...

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/breaking/apple-cripples-ipod-touch-eliminates-add-button-from-calendar-297994.php Looks like Apple are going out of their way to cripple all the features of the iPod Touch that would put it in a competing position with the iPhone, PDA-wise. Damn them.

Is this flash ipod touch just round one, or will apple come out later with a hard drive version?I remember when the first Nanos came out, the top size was 4GB. The 5G ipod came out just shortly after in 60GB model. i.e. 15x as big.Now we have 8GB Nanos and 160GB ipods. i.e. 20x as big.It doesn'...

Hey guys, my friend has a Nokia N95 and he showed me how he can stream videos from his desktop to his phone over a WiFi connection, essentially, he has access to his desktop through his phone, so he can stream any movie he wants to his phone. Anyway, this works through a program called Orb, I'm...

Do you think apple will have a feature to download widgets, and even specifically user made widgets? It seems like its missing a few critical one such as notes, stocks, maps... Also, does Safari support Flash?

Is this really the latest Apple Newton? How rounded a product would it be if it is. Very little is said in the Touch online Video about the Calendar and Contacts. Will they sync with Entourage for example? Can you set Alarm reminders (even though there are no speakers)? Will it be possible to hack s...

Hi everyone, I'm very intersted in buying the new ipod touch but have one question.Does anyone know if Safari will be able to view other video sites besides youtube? I was thinking perhaps google video? If i remember correctly, youtube needs flash player to play the videos and other sites may u...

will the touch come with its own pouch in the box? eg like the psp did with there pouch and the ipod video got a pouch too.

Hey guys, let me explain my situation to better understand where i am coming from. I have been an iPod Mini owner since '04 and havnt had any problems, just think its time to upgrade. So once i saw the new iPod Touch i knew it was what i wanted. So i made a deal with my parents to split the cos...

Will the new ipod touch support MSN messenger? Or will people who want to use instant messaging clients be forced to use sites like meebo.com to access their contact lists?

The reason I want 160 Gig iPod is so I can carry all my music, photos, and videos with me.In reality do I need to carry thousands of songs with me a one time?I am thinking I could for example buy a 16 Gig iTouch carry 8 Gig of MP3s and 4 Gigs of video, and my pictures.The question is, is it easy to...

So this thing gets 22 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video, but what's the battery life like while connected with WiFi? Would it be wise to expect a few hours at most?Also I'm not sure how the touch was constructed, or any other limitations, but what's the possibility of poppi...

The iPhone has speakers - does the iPod Touch?

Anyone have any idea how the wifi works - how will I get it to work on wifi networks that aren't in Starbucks?

I have been doing alot of thinking and i have realized something that may make everyone feel even better about their purchase of the touch.Apple is going to release a apps. store in itunes and i would imagine these can be downloaded into the touch. Apps like Mail, Google Maps, Notes & even games. I...

So with the iPod touch, can you go to websites and actually download files? Aside from Youtube, is there Quicktime support also? If you go to a site with Shockwave, are you able to download plugins to view it? Divx support?Also I would love to know if you can actually download files with the Safari...

Does the itouch have the same mapping capabilities as the iphone? or is that just the iphone on google earth via wifi? Thanks

So here we are, a few days after the iPod Touch announcement... And many of us are waiting impatiently on that October 2 arrival date! What do you guys do for the near-4 week wait?I auctioned off my 5.5G 80GB iPod, so I dusted off my 4G iPod, dissected it, coaxed the hard drive into working conditio...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics It has been on #1 all day at least. The other iPods are slowly making thier way up the list.

I know this may sound stupid but what ever. I am having a hard time waiting 3 weeks for the new iPod touch that i ordered to be shipped. When I ordered it on wednesday the website said that it would ship BY september 28 and arrive BY october 2. Maybe i am reading in to this a little to much but c...

Okay, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I have a question.I am planning on buying an iPod touch to replace my fourth generation iPod. I told myself I'd wait until the widescreen iPod came out and now it has.My question - do you think I will need the 8GB or 16GB?I have only a little...

It's been tremendous being a PC user and totally ignoring Apple during the past decade. I didn't know, and could not care less, what was happening on the Macintosh side of the divide. But now I find myself interested in a portable video media player and the iPod Touch really catches my...

I listen to a lot of podcasts on my iPod. I know people have been talking about just stream the podcast from their sites on Safari, but do you think sometime they will come up with a way to download podcasts on to your iPod so you do not have to sync it every day?Also my friend today said that 32GB...

really sorry if this has been answered before, but i couldn't find it. are the system requirements posted on the webpage for the ipods (in this case the touch) something that have to be met? because i have the new itunes that are for the new ipods, but i dont have tiger (i have panther), and th...

I have been wondering if Apple got the unveiling of the iPhone and the iPod Touch in the wrong order Had they just made the iPod Touch first people would have went WOW !!! Instead they released the iPhone with all the bells and whistles on it , and now people are wanting so much more on the iPod T...

i know that the touch has access to the itunes store but does it have itunes like the PC?

Hey guys, did u preorder the touch from amazon or apple or somewhere else? i noticed that amazon is alot cheaper. overnight shipping and no tax and still quite alot cheaper than from apple. i might change to amazon, do u think apple will ship them earlier than expected?

If safari can run youtube, it should have no trouble running http://www.deezer.com/They have a great selection, and im sure it would help ease the space issue, and save a lot of people from uploading stuff themselvesm, but more likely just be an extra source of new music.Im hoping it works anyway....

and if you are, why? i am debating on getting a touch and wanted some thoughts

I'm going to ask for an iPod for Christmas but I don't know which one. I look at the iTouch and almost start crying as soon as I see it in action but then I look at the price for how much memory you are getting wipe my tears and close the page. The classic I can get a TON of memory for a...

bottom line.. i have a wireless router with a password on it (which most people should)... with the touch will i be able to put it my password in or does the wireless always have to be open.?

Curious if the headphone jack is recessed like on the iPhone, which people report makes it incompatible with some headphones. You'd hope they would fix this design for a music and movie playing device where that's crucial. Any word?

I don't understand why Apple didn't include the email or notes application. Google Maps should be included for that matter. I'm not complaining, just looking for an answer. I wonder if they may add them eventually.

anyone know if you can edit the calendar or contacts?....also is the screen made of glass

I am really impressed with the Ipod Touch and all the functions that it offers. But for many people, they whine about the small capacity for their perceived "high price!"However, I am not disappointed about Ipod Touch's capacity, because:1) It represents the next generation of Ipods and therefo...

I have a first gen mini and have been forever waiting for touchscreen ipod and now it is finally here. i am worried that as soon as i buy the ipod touch a price drop will happen also some people said that there might be a 32gb model in january. i dont want to buy my ipod and then regret it. thanks:)...

I used my 4th gen ipod in the car everyday, and was able to pause and stuff by just feeling around on the face. The IPhon/Touch don't have any kind of feedback. I am stuck in deciding if I want to classic for this reason alone or just go with a touch screen. Anyone else have anything thought...

I have around 2.6GB worth of music and probably want to put a few Simpsons episodes on it and maybe 1-2 movies. Will 8GB be enough for me? A 16GB in Australia costs $550 :(

Now then, Gizmodo mentions that an insider from Apple has said the unofficial word is They use the same damn binaries. So while you dont see the usual suspects of Apps, in theory you should be able to jail break an iPod Touch and even get an Installer.app on there, running fully functional. http://ww...

With wi-fi, you store your stuff on the web, not on the pod. Use .mac or your ISP's web hosting service. 16 gb is plenty when you have extra storage on the web. go ahead, whiners, start whining

I was looking at the tech spec comparison on Apple's website and I was interested to note that the iPod classic shows that it has an LED Backlight, but there is no backlight mentioned in the iPod Touch specifications.I know that the use of a backlight greatly reduces battery life, but not havin...

I'm as excited as everyone about this iPod and already ordered my 16GB version as soon as the store was back up, but I have a couple of questions about it:1) Will it ever support iPod games? The one thing I loved about my old iPod 5G was the fact that I could play Bejeweled on the go and now wi...

whats up guys.first post here, and as many i am really happy with what Apple presented to us on September 5th. After getting updates on the iPod(s) line here and there, Apple dropped the big one and gave us major updates on ALL models as well as introduced a brand new iPod. I think we are all undere...
