iPod Touch 3G Unboxing/Review

Yesterday in the mail I finally received my iPod Touch 3G 32GB!

Now I did make the video yesterday, but youtube was having some server issues, so I couldn't get it up until today.

But the video is here if you want to watch! (please comment, rate, subscribe)

Take me to YouTube

What you get in the box

• iPod Touch
• User guide
• USB data/charging cable
• Headphones with headset
• Dock adapter

This time around there wasn't a screen cleaning cloth included.

Quick Review and other thoughts

• The iPod Touch 3G isn't that much different than the 2G.
• If you have disabilities, go with this iPod Touch. (It has special features for disabled people)
• If you own a 2G iPod Touch, just keep it unless you need more memory.
• If you have a 1G iPod Touch, definitely upgrade to the 3G.
• There is NO LAG whatsoever on this iPod Touch

Greenp0ison get's its first demo!

Chronic dev has just released a video showing a demo of what their new Greenp0ison tool is capable of on an iPod Touch 3G. We don't have an iPod Touch 3G jailbreak yet, but each step is one step closer.

iPod Touch 3G and iPod Nano 5G Hands On

Today, I bring you sad news and great news!

Sad: My iPod Touch got delayed in the mail. :(

Great news: At my local Apple Retail Store, the new iPods are available! So I went down there to check them out myself.

iPod Touch 3G

The first thing I noticed when using the 3G is there is NO lag. None whatsoever. It's very very nice to have. Second thing I noticed is how quick games loaded, especially graphic-extensive games like Sims 3. I tried out the accessibility features like voiceover and screen zoom and they both work wonderfully, just like on the iPhone 3GS. I didn't get to try out the Voice Command feature as it was too loud in the store, but overall the experience was fantastic!

iPod Nano 5G

The iPod Nano 5G looks way nicer than before. While it still has it's aluminum finish, it's much more polished, meaning a shinier iPod! :) The video camera placement still slightly makes me cringe, as my hand just kept getting in the way of the lens. (I have small hands) I didn't get to try out the Radio or Genius Mix feature as 1: No headphones were plugged in (The headphones serve as an antennae) and 2: Apple didn't sync any genius mixes to the iPod. If you loved the iPod nano before, you'll love it even more now.

Stay tuned for a video of these features on my youtube page.

Seems an iPod Touch 3G Jailbreak will come sooner than expected!

The widely known development team, Chronic Dev, appears to be working on what they call "Greenp0ison". The name goes along with the lineup of previous programs created to jailbreak iPods and iPhones, redsn0w and purplera1n. Over at http://www.iPodtouchfans.com , King Chronic claims that they have discovered a new exploit, or hole in the system, that allows them to jailbreak the device without having to put the device into DFU mode. The exploit apparently works on firmware 3.1.1 (The newest) and the dev team is hoping for the exploit to be present in the iPod Touch 3G.

On the other hand, smaller developers are taking their own hand at creating a 3G iPod Touch jailbreak, such as Bikcmp (Who previously worked on redsn0w). Any new information on the iPod Touch 3G jailbreak will be posted here so keep your eyes open!
