hey everybody. i just recently got a third gen iPod touch,
i was wondering if theres any recommendations from anybody app wise and just ipod wise. also, should i jailbreak it??

 

[Dystopia]

Do NOT jailbreak it. Just use the app store. and use http://appventcalendar.com/ for free apps

Do NOT jailbreak it.

Agreed, jailbreaking it is like giving itouch developers a big hug because you can use their applications and make them feel wanted. So yes, I would recommend doing it

If you're looking for an epic game--Flight Control for $1.

its not just about getting apps for free, its also so you can run open source apps created by people like you and me

I don't like jailbreaking because you have to Sync your iPod (at least mine) a lot to keep it from going all awry and not letting you download 'legal' apps.

never had this problem, u must have done something wrong. the only bad thing about jailbreaking is the startup time if you do a hard reset

Naw, I did the generic, I had like 3 people tell me how to do it and they were all the same. My iPod is refurbished, that may be the problem. (It was supposed to be an 8GB for 100$, but they gave me a deal and accidentally gave me a 16GB so it was 16GB for 85$ )

hmmm would i still be able to use itunes and app store if i jailbreak my ipod?

 

[ScottALot]

I think Apple apps will find out that your iPod is jailbroken and try to hinder your App Store and iTunes abilities... that's what happened to me.

hmmm yea idk if i wana

I think it does, it would use alot of power if it didnt do that

 

[joebob1235]

thats odd cuz im pretty sure that before, whenever i locked the ipod i could still receive messages while it was locked

[joebob1235]

Lets keep jailbreaking out of the conversation. It violates Apple's terms and conditions and voids the warranty (which has been known to come in handy with electronics of this generation...).
