iPod Gen 1 with Gen 2 Software? :S

[Carlsta]

Well on ebay we brought the first gen 16gb for £169..
But on the description it said Gen2 software installed which cost him £12..

What would the gen 2 software being installed on it give me?

[Jam]

It would help by saying iPod Touch/iPhone instead of just iPod. Plus 1.0 and 2.0/2.1/2.2 instead of 'Gen'.

Anyways, it adds user-created apps, and the app store, the main reason I bought the iPod Touch, for gaming. Plus, I'm sure its £10 not £12?

Jameseh.

[Carlsta]

Ah it could be £10...

This is the item i have bought, it has arrived now and looks smashing..
Can't look at it again till christmas though!:(

To say it short: It gives you App Store.

Its perfectly fine, its meant to have the latest software.. but 2.0 doesn't cost any money.

It cost me £5.99 on my 1G.

[Recursion]

Maybe I just downloaded it :eusa_whis

[Frizzoo]

on a 1.gen iPod Touch you have to pay to upgrade to 2.0

You can download it everywhere. If you have then Shift+Click on Restore in iTunes, and easily update it...

[Carlsta]

Thanksss :D
It looks well lush...
Now it's just a waiting game till christmas!!

Would i need to jailbreak it then? and if so how?

[Indie-Dan]

Basically gives you the App Store, Genius, plus a few minor tweaks to other things (bigger font for album titles, for example).

[Recursion]

Jailbreaking is good, you get more apps, can install the AppStore paid apps for free, can install themes etc etc

I heard about that but whats the app called to get the free ones? Installous or something?

But what's the point in screwing the hard working developers over just to save a couple of quid. Some people develop apps as their day job, and you're just stealing them. :S

Im not going to pay £650 for 8 Pages of apps.

I find that hard to believe... and plus, do you really need 8 pages of apps? If you do, that's fine, but IMO you should buy apps which you use regularly, and those which you do not, don't download at all...

[Recursion]

Okay, say £2.99 per app, 16 Apps * 8 Pages = 128

So 128*2.99 = £382.72

Im not going to pay that much for some iPod Apps.

[Carlsta]

Jesus, don't need you to start ranting.

Thank's for your help guys! :)

That's nothign to do with what I was talking about, and plus, you know most apps are free or 59p or something. There are few 2.99+ apps.

[Recursion]

Thats still at least £80

[Nick.]

Why do you need 128 apps? There can't be 128 paid apps you need and use all the time..

[Recursion]

:eusa_whis

Maybe.

[Carlsta]

I'm closing.
thanks guys :)
