Just got a 32Gb Touch...tips?

BoomAM · 16 Feb 2008 at 00:01

Here we go everyone.
Sorry about the poor quality, but it was taken on my N95-8Gb in a dark room.
You get the idea though.

.

Size Comparison:
L-R: iPod 5g 60Gb, iPod Touch 32Gb, iPaq HX4700.

Top view with case on.

Top view, no case, about screen.
As you can see, it looks like the OS on there nicks 2Gb off us for caching/the OS itself.

Very nice, going to jailbreak it?

Dunno.
From what ive read, all it allows me to do is add new apps and change the default 'theme'.
Which, for the amount of usage it'll get, and the probable faff with re-syncing my media each time new firmware comes out, im not sure if its worth the effort or not.
I'll see how it goes tbh. With the headphone connector on the bottom of the player, my first concern is how im gonna neatly mount it in my car. I might have to buy a car mount for it...?

Mount it sideways

lol.
I cant. I have two cup holders in front of the gear stick on my car. I did have my iPod 60Gb in one, with my FM transmitter in the other.
Unfortunatelly, short of having the iPod Touch upside down, its gonna get messy.

.

How much do you lot think i could get for my iPod 60Gb? w/ headphones and neoprene case? A few of my mates are interested in buying it off me.

Get an iTrip or something similar and use it with your radio. Easiest way.

You can get a new classic on a famous site for less than £140. being smaller and older? £80 ?

Thats what i currently use. Not specifically an iTrip, but an FM transmitter.
Plugs into the headphone jack.

Can mount it anywhere then! And they make iPod Touch iTrips or similar.

Just tryed it with my Touch upside down, works suprisingly well, with the forward/back/play buttons being so large.

.
Dont think i'll bother with a new cradle for it.

Got £15 to spend on iTunes.
Just spent half of that on the new HotChip album. Want to buy some videos.
Suggestions?
Got £7.01 left.

The Paramount comedy stuff seems good value?

Whatever mate, Damages is a good series. Lost?

BoomAM · 16 Feb 2008 at 22:36

Ive just downloaded videora ipod converter, and its just converting 8 videos for me.

Think i might leave the extra iTunes credit in there, in case i feel the urge to buy on the move.

I bought across the house once, was actually pretty damn quick.

Lol.
Gotta admit, i was pretty impressed by it.
It was quick to get to 100% per song, then it took about 10-20 seconds extra, presumably to save it, or check it over or whatnot.
Still quite good though.

BoomAM · 17 Feb 2008 at 00:37

Im having a few problems with iTunes.
Ive re-classifyed a load of music videos that were previously classed as movies, to be classifyed as 'music videos' and they've completely disappeared from itunes?

Ideas?

Elrein · 17 Feb 2008 at 08:23

If you want perfect video conversions for your pod I can only suggest 1 piece of software .... DVDFab

I guarantee its the only 1 you will ever use

Looks the same as any other itouch

Can i ask what case that is on your touch Raymond?

BoomAM · 17 Feb 2008 at 10:55

Is it just or, or are screen protectors a right pain to put on, on any device?
Mine allways go on ever so slightly wonkey, with airbubbles that wont disappear, or with dust under them!

.

Ive gotta admit, i really like this Touch. Seeing as MMS can be added with a jailbreak app and my complete lack of use of my N95's camera, think i'd be very tempted to get an iPhone when 32Gb+ ones come out.
My main bug-bear was the text input, but its pretty good when your used to it.

.

On a different note, iTunes crashed for me last night, saying that it could see my iPhone but couldnt talk to it...even though i have a touch! lol.
As i suspected, the touch & iphone are 90% the same at the hardware and software level.

Copy and paste for the win.
