Yeah, I don't know what happened, I was posting from my BlackBerry at work.... quite odd
My iPod touch doesn't do that.
Well, when you are outside in a parking lot, there is not a whole lot of wifi around....
Soooooo rad! My home screen has been a little short on icons...
still waiting for my itouch to come...hopefully thursday.
I just hacked mine, and HOLY crap, it is now the coolest device on earth!
dyslexic? or enthusiastic about mediocrity?
I'm gonna go with lexdysic.dyslexic? or enthusiastic about mediocrity?
I fixed my former post to wheat I MEANT to say....
ah, i thought you were omitting the question mark and trying to say "is it not the coolest device on earth?"
(to which S.S., grumpy old curmudgeon, would say "yes, it is not." and post some google images picture
)

Meh, thats what you get for watching football, eating garlic bread, taking care of your sick woman, and typing on the nerd at the same timeah, i thought you were omitting the question mark and trying to say "is it not the coolest device on earth?"

which hack did you use? I've seen a couple and they looked a little betaish.
I have cat-like posting reflexes.you're probably the only (other) person on thethat would make sure that the parentheses were properly closed when trimming a quote. nerd.
Well, I'm on a MacBook Pro, so I used This Guide with This Pictorial and it was seamless..
They are not beta, they are just not a pretty GUI. Even people that don't know anything about the terminal can do it. It's mostly cut and paste.
Here is an automated Windows Hack, But I cannot vouch for it, as I have not tried it. The people on Macrumors are pretty reliable though, so I would read through the thread and see how many people have gotten it to work.
There is Also a 74 step fully manual Windows hack
Wheat?
Compound Sloppiness. Tsk, tsk.
Du ma nhieu.
heheheheheheh.
I'm all jealous and stuff 'bout the 'pod. I need to gets me a new one...
If I could ma nhieu, I would never leave my room.
You should fo' sho' pick up a touch, they are awesome. Especially with the hack!
Give it a try, let me know what you think of the hack-pod
Wort thing that would happen is you have to restore, that's why I did it. There is basically zero risk.
I'm going to shop for one in the new year - spending all my chump change on flights and cameras until then.
What I'm day dreaming of is a larger capacity by then - any rumors out there of a 32Gb? It's all about compact flash memory, yes?
You have a while to wait for 32GB. It's 98% that it won't come before Mac World San Francisco 2008, and it may not even come then
The only thing cat-like about your posting is your ability to poop in a box of gravel, hippie.I have cat-like posting reflexes.
Mike Do you know anything about the possibilty of adding video drivers?
Video drivers for what? what are you trying to do?
Windows media and Quicktime. What's up with the flash drivers? I just want to be able to watch the videos on CNN.com. Half of their site is video now.
ahh, gotcha. For any type of movie you want to load onto the touch, you need to convert it to an mp4, or h.264. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but you'll probably want to make it a smaller res anyway, so its not that big of a deal.
As for flash, we are all SOL. currently, the ipod touch and the iPhone do not support flash. All it supports is the youtube app which is h.264, and all it supports through the browser is google video. I know, sucks, don't it?
Found this in my RSS feed this morning:

There's no way to convert the files on the iPhone itself is there?
The flash thing is irritating. A lot of flashier industry sites use flash menus now and those don't show up at all. Ibis is a good example.
No, there is no way to do it on the phone, but why would you want to? that would just use extra battery and hard(flash)drive space.
Yeah, the flash thing does suck, but, that was known ahead of time.
So I can entertain myself with CNN and bike movies in class.
convert them ahead of time with iSquint or Handbrake. sync to your iphone/whatever-you-may-have, or you could even save them on your computer and stream them using telekinesis:

That's efficient. Hmm, make an application actually decode some of the most popular media formats on the internet, or force users to figure out what they want to view ahead of time, convert it on their computer, and set up a media server to share it out 
it's a device with limited resources. decoding a bajillion formats is less useful to me than decoding the most current format (h.264), and doing it well.That's efficient. Hmm, make an application actually decode some of the most popular media formats on the internet, or force users to figure out what they want to view ahead of time, convert it on their computer, and set up a media server to share it out
on the other hand, i really would like flash support for facebook scrabble/scrabulous.
And this is why you should NEVER use flash for menus.

Sweet! It'll be a little while, but I can wait for an "approved" hack from Apple...
