Ipod touch software

The apps might cost money, but firmware should be free. The changing of the home screen is part of the firmware.

My phone came with notepad. I use it alot.

can you turn the note pad on its side?? so you look at it long ways??

Fish · 01-25-2008, 12:41 PM

No. It stays the same way. Its still useful though. Ive made grocery lists, car part lists, christmas lists.

I read on gizmodo that you are correct. They want you to pay for the extra apps. However, I still do believe the firmware should be free. Even my old non color ipod got free firmware.

i did get the new firmware. i like how i can now add things to do in my calander on the actual ipod, but i liked the old home page better.

While the interface isnt a touch screen, I can play all the music, play by artist, genre, album, etc. Its got a built in FM tuner, which I really havent used but its there. Its probably about the size of a Compact Flash card, runs absolutely forever on a charge. I can listen to it throughout the week without having to charge it up. And the sound it just simply unbeatable. To top it off, I got both me and the wife one for well under $100. I could have bought the 2Gb version, but heck the 1Gb holds more than I can listen to as it is let alone trying to fill up a 40Gb, 60Gb or more MP3 player.

I just simply looked at how I thought I would use one (never owned a MP3 player until Christmas) and just decided that the Apple MP3 players were WAY more than I would ever use. Furthermore I have a 120Gb USB portable HDD that I use everyday at work and home that I can keep any MP3's on and play through the PC when I get some down time outside of lunch. And every MP3 I own packed on that hard drive only totals up to less than 15Gb.

All you have is 15GB of music? Wow. I have an external 500gb drive i store all mine on and I have like 115GB last I checked and still don't have all the music i want. I like the Ipod and my Clarion has an interface built into it if i buy the 100.00 adapter to make it work. I just don't use mine enough. I have an mp3/cd player. I just put what i want on disk.

BTW you can drag and drop with Itunes too.

Well I would have more but the RIAA go serious about things

So I actually started going and downloading them from subscription sites or buying songs individually. Though most (probably 80%) of what I would download was older music that gets virtually no air time anymore. Prior to all that I got tired of all the commercials on regular radio, I then went to XM and they too started having a ton of commercials, way way more than what should be if Im paying to listen to the radio, so I dropped them and went back to the file shares and stuck with that until I got concerns about RIAA and their tactics.

Arent you able to customize your home page now?

Also FWIW, I only have about 4 gigs of music. I need more but I only keep what I like. Im not a "I need the whole album" type of person.

rynoman03 · 01-26-2008, 11:27 AM

Most of mine are albums. I have an Itunes account. I just buy what i can't find elsewhere and mainly buy TV shows that i miss. I also have Sirius. 10X's better than XM. Alot less commercials. The only time i hear commercials on it is on the talk channels.

Never saw the need to have 80g's of music on a mp3 player or spend a lot of money on one, I only have a Sansa 1g mp3 player so I could listen to music while at the gym then got the Pioneer Inno for XM and gave the Sansa to my wife. There are no commercials on the music channels on XM except for the 3 or 4 channels that are owned by Clear Channel that XM got screwed over with. XM and Sirius have station ID's on the music channels that some people refer to as commercials.

rynoman03 · 01-26-2008, 08:37 PM

Thats cool. I've been tempted to get a portable sat. radio. How is the reception inside the gym though? I can never get reception with my car unit in my house.
