Jailbroke my iPod touch 3rd Gen….

Finally there was a release that included my third gen Touch and I have spent the last 2 days messing around with it more than ever.

Jailbreaking means that not only I could install cracked applications from the net if I so chose but opens it up to all manner of customisation and coolness. I was downloading apps like crazy from the app store and they were spread out over 8 pages. Finding something was a real pain, but now I have them all in folder on one page. I have a background that rotates through my photos and I can see a % on my battery and how much memory I’m using… you know, cool nerdy stuff

I’ve been using it to read ebooks a lot, watch movies (I did all 60 hours of ‘The Wire’ on it) as well as the occasional music session (I picked up a 60Gb iPod on ebay when I was in the UK, so the majority of my music is on that) and I’m finding some of the games just awesome too. For only 59p the 2 Geodefense games and Flight Control have given me more than 20 hours of fun I reckon, and for less than 2 quid!

I’m now waiting for 2 more things and then I will be content. An app that will play DIVX/XVID movies at full speed (I don’t care about the hit on the battery life, I will only use it occasionally) and a method of connecting my external bluetooth GPS to it. Looks like http://www.roqy-bluetooth.net/roqyGPS.html might be the answer but I want it to see my GPS device before I pay $8 for the license.
