Ipod Touch

A few days ago, I returned the Ipod touch that I had for exactly 11 days, coz Apple chose to charge me $20. Apart from me being a cheap bas***d, I had this queasy feeling in my gut, about apple products. I felt an unexplainable rage towards Apple, Jobs and the fanboys. I am usually a very moderate person, and it really surprised me that I could harbor such crazy extremism and frustration. I could never place a finger on the source, until I read this article on Coding Horror by Jeff Atwood. ...

So until then, I commute for 2 hours everyday with no music to listen, no podcast from CNN to watch :( ...

My ipod touch was upgraded to 1.1.3, after connecting to my computer, and I wanted to downgrade to 1.1.1, so I could jailbreak it and put any app I want on it. ipodtouchmaster found a way to downgrade it using iPhuc.

(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). ...
