Since Apple’s is so bent upon disappointing their customers, by introducing paid firmware upgrades, I needed to ensure that I have the option to jail break, my new ipod touch (if need be). (update: the firmware upgrade itself is not paid. Only the newapps are paid). I am going to wait until they release their SDK in February before I jailbreak mine.
I found a link to the 1.1.1 firmware (thanks to Rupert and who-ever posted this).
I have a copy on my hard-drive (just in case).
Let’s see how the whole thing works out. Just when I thought, Apple has a killer product, they have to limit the scope of a platform and make it a device. A very sad day for computing.
