Decay On Net

The itchy hand me went to upgrade my iPod touch firmware to 1.1.3.



Yeap, that 1.1.3. You can tell the difference from the dock. At first I thought it would be easy to roll back to 1.1.1 and re-jail break my iPod touch. I was so so so wrong. The 1.1.2 way of downgrading to 1.1.1 doesn't work anymore for 1.1.3. You need another method. After trying out several times, I finally found a very easy method here.

Here is a good reference for iPod touch jailbreaking.

DK ah DK.... don't hand itchy again lah.

I finally jailbreaked my iPod Touch.

I have to go thru the trouble to downgrade my firmware from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 in order to jailbreak it. But it is worth all the effort when I see my new iPod touch screen.



PS: I installed so much apps that some of them are shown on the 2nd page.

As much as I want to keep it unhacked, there are lots of goodies out there if you jailbeak your iPod Touch. The best one got to be google maps. And there are other great apps like dictionary, mail, weather and even MSN. Cool stuff.

I think the PDA makers should sit up and start to worry. This iPod touch is not just a MP3 player. After jailbreaking, it can double as a PDA. I'm so tempted to use my iPod touch to replace my aging Palm TX.

Suddenly I wish I have a iPhone where I can slot in my mobile broadband SIM card and be connected where ever I go. Lets hope I win the Recruit.net - Creative Feedback Challenge (RCFC).

**Super delayed entry**

Got a free iPod Touch from Singnet couple of weeks ago for renewing my contract with them. Actually my contract ends around March. But I renewed it recently cause of the good offer. I don't know why, but they always don't have good offer in March. So better don't wait till march then renew.



I'm still wondering if this is a iPod or a PDA. Basically, if you were to jailbreak it, it will almost have the same feature as PDA. OK, I haven't jailbreak my iPod touch yet. But I guess it's a matter of time. A lot of features are missing in iPod touch. I can't manually copy files into it. I can't check email.

It is just a matter of time.
