anyways, I'm thinking aboutcopping the new 2G touch but i don't know if it will be worth it. are these one of those little gadgets that keep your attention for a week or so then gointo your drawer never to see light again? or is it actually fun to mess around with and use? also, what about battery life? if this joint only stays chargedfor like 2 hours like i've heard then

. can someone clarify on this? and what the hell is jailbreaking? thanks
 
Invest your money on the Touch, it's worth it. The only way it will go into your drawer and never see light is by your doing. It won't make it'sway there, because it's very fun to use.
 
you know what i hate? when you have a song playing and you tilt it a little and it goes to the album art slide thing and when you want to change the song,sometimes you cant even hold it upright to change it back, you have to press the home screen and go back
 
1.) I own the first generation one and it's pretty much the same as the second generation except mine is fatter. So overall style-wise, the Touch is prettysolid.
2.) I use it a lot, especially when I have long classes, so I just go on my school's wifi. The internet is exceptional and you get what you expect for sucha small device.
3.) The battery life only last for two hours if you use the wifi on it. However, if you only listen to music only, you'll get 12+ hours (rough estimate).
4.) Jailbreaking allows your Touch or iPhone to install and upgrade programs and games for free. Don't ask how to jailbreak on this site, you might get introuble.
5.) I have some picky details I don't like about the Touch, the tilting feature needs to be fixed when you play music. They need to add the playcountfeature when you sync it for iTunes.
6.) Overall, I'd give this piece of technology a solid 8/10.

You don't have the settings that if you press the home button twice it'll bring up a lil screen that will let you change the song? I have this on myiphone... but also when that happens with the slide thing just tilt it towards you and see if that will make it go back to normal, that's what I do.
 
The new one has a speaker; the old one doesn't.

As far as being something to keep you busy, there are plenty of apps that will suit your fancy. Even more with the speaker.

That being said, I really don't mess with the apps (I have the old one). It's a great music player and web browser.
 
Also, if you know you'll have access to WiFi the majority of the time you'll be using it, definitely purchase it. Safari is awesome.
 
I'm debating if I should get an 8gb or a 16gb for my girl. I know she does not even have more than 8gb worth of music but you know down the line she may.She could even take the ones she doesn't listen to off if it full up.
 
Get the 16 gb if possible. The Itouch will keep you entertained. Between the internet, checking email, apps (alot of good free ones), music, and movies, its areally good device.
 
go to Best Buy, and buy a 16gb 1st Gen. They are on sale for $229.99....same price as a 8gb 2nd Gen...much better deal
 
I wish I waited. Got the 16gb on release and now the 32 is the same price

i dont think you can jailbreak the 2nd gen ipod touch

jailbroken ipods and iphones make them worth more than what you paid...
 
it is the SLOWEST syncing ipod ive ever had

other than that and the heavy price tag, its def worth it. i was planning on picking up the new one myself and handing my current one to my little brother.
 
I am also interested in getting one for christmas. i am afraid though that apple will release a new one in like 3 months. does anyone know if apple is workingon any new ipods?or is it safe to get the newest model now.? thanks
 
To keep the screen from tilting (switching) press the home button to go to the home screen, from the home screen, press the home button twice and a littlemusic player menu plays over the home screen and it's locked in (no switching)

Very useful in the car
 
First Gen > Second Gen

Jailbroken > Un-Jailbroken

The Dev Team, people who make jailbreak software, is not looking to in jailbreak the 2g in the near future.

You cannot buy 1st gen in store though, only online.

Look at the Apple Refub Store for good deals.
 
I have both the 1st gen Ipod Touch and the 4th gen Ipod Nano.

If you're mainly into music, get the new Nano. (Battery life is

)
If you're more into movies and tv shows, get the Touch.

When I go to work I usually find myself bringing the Touch just so I can watch tv shows....keeps me entertained. But I had to buy a Kensington battery pack(was about $50) just cause the battery life is crap-city.
