oh, and yep! i did still a bit from MD. the badge theme is awesome! hope i'm persuading Hawkee to JB when he gets his xD
Hawkee  -  Aug 29, 2008
I'm more interested in building apps than anything and I don't think I need to JB to do that.
jonesy44  -  Aug 29, 2008
You'll needs SDK.. beware.. people like me will want to rip them. ;D
But why not JB? it's more fun :P

btw you have to pay like a 90 bucks to be a registered developer.

Nice background jonesy, looks familiar :D

You should hide the bottom labels though.
Hawkee  -  Aug 29, 2008
$90 doesn't sound so bad if you've got an app that makes money.

This I like, a combination of mountaindew's skin and jonesy44's :)

@ Mountaindew: I'm trying to stay as WinterBoard prone as possible. so once i find a way to edit names without the .string/UI way i will xD

@ Hawkee: Too right! I have full faith that you could master the codes and stuff within a few weeks or less! i'm not sure how .plist and those kind of mac files work.

@ Vas: The icons are a sorta "my" thing. i made a collection of my favourite ones. i like to have more color there and a plainer bg if you see what i mean ^

Got to play around with one of these the other day. I enjoyed a game of Solitaire, but there wasn't any wifi so I couldn't try the browser.
jonesy44  -  Sep 02, 2008
That's too bad i guess.. There isnt much special to it hawkee, so i wouldnt be too worried xD
Hawkee  -  Sep 03, 2008
I'm waiting to see the next generation. Just a few more weeks to go hopefully.
mountaindew  -  Sep 03, 2008
The Apple event is the 9th, so they'll probably announce it there.
Hawkee  -  Sep 03, 2008
Can't wait.

The dudes at iLounge have scored schematics laying out the dimensions of the new iPod touch and iPod nano widely expected to debut on Sept. 9. While the nano's tall, skinny and curvy silhouette ain't a secret, according to these measurements, it's a smidge taller and about 0.4mm thinner than the second-gen nano (making it the most anorexic one yet). The iPod touch will bloat a bit, growing 1mm taller while adding 0.4 mm of flab that'll be disguised by borrowing iPhone 3G's tapered design, officially making tapering the new white. And hey, does that look like external volume controls? Check it out below.

Looks like the Touch is gonna be like the iPhone where its backing is curved.
Hawkee  -  Sep 04, 2008
I'm more interested in the new functionality rather than the way its going to look. I wonder if they'll come out with a faster processor or more memory.
jonesy44  -  Sep 04, 2008
Hopefully. The speed is pretty dam good for an handheld. But it could do with speeding up. Problem is, at what cost?

As far as functionality on software terms. i doubt to see a 3.x release, although possibly a 2.1+.x which would cover bugs and lag problems.

Nice one on picking that up MD

There's live coverage of the Apple Let's Rock event:

Gizmodo

Luckily I have the day out of school today so I get to follow it :)

Edit: omg the green nano looks so cool:

^^ Really stupid decision to keep the aluminum backing, that's disappointing...

The new iPod touch is out. It has a new design: chrome rim, with a tapered back similar to the iPhone, but thinner. It now includes external volume controls as well. It also has Nike+ integrated, with no transmitter needed, as well as on-the-fly genius playlist creation, all included in the new iPhone 2.1 software. It also comes with new prices, available today: $229 for the 8GB, $299 for the 16GB, and $399 for the 32GB. That's $100 cheaper than before. Here are all the features: ...

Speaker and external volume controls, awesome, but I don't see why it's still more expensive than the iPhone. You can see all the features in the Guided Tour.

Cool image showing all the iPods:

Loving the new prices, can't wait to get one. I'm leaning towards the 32gb now.
jonesy44  -  Sep 09, 2008
Not all that impressed by the new designs, but loving those new pricetags xD
mountaindew  -  Sep 09, 2008
I liked the new nano, I can't believe it got even thinner. And yea, it's great that you get double the size (16GB) for the same price as the 1st gen ($299.99) for the Touch.
Hawkee  -  Sep 09, 2008
That last Nano design didn't seem to last very long. I just can't see buying a Nano over a Touch despite the price difference.
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
I wouldn't.. especially since you're looking to develop applications. I'd stick with an ipot, or even an iphone, or perhaps even a 3G.

I have 2 iphones, 3 ipods, and 1 3G sitting on my desk atm waiting to be jailbroken. at £10 a pop, cant go wrong eh? xD
Hawkee  -  Sep 10, 2008
I'm not going for a 3G because I don't want to switch to AT&T, but the Touch will be perfect.
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
Who say's you'll need AT&T? "You can haz winpwn"
Hawkee  -  Sep 10, 2008
I'm with Verizon which isn't compatible with with the iPhone.
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
Not even a pwned one?
Hawkee  -  Sep 10, 2008
Nope because Verizon uses a different sort of technology.
sean  -  Sep 10, 2008
verzion uses CDMA, at&t uses GSM. two completely different technologies. maybe if this were ten years ago when at&t used TDMA but..then there would be no iPhone :P
@jonesy44: your iTunes icon looks alot like the limewire icon lol
mountaindew  -  Sep 10, 2008
Jonesy don't you need to activate the 3G in the store?

And I never knew you had a 3G :)
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
That is the idea, Sean xD

And Oh. i didn't know that.. Perhaps a network switch might be worth it unless you're getting a really good deal

Can CDMIA connect to GSM, like. can you sms a gsm phone?
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
It's not mine unfortunately MD, but im having fun with the GPS and stuff! lol. I'm pwning them all for friends for $$ ;D
sean  -  Sep 10, 2008
you can't 'connect' the two technologies. although, there are phones that are compatible with both technologies.

all carriers can SMS (text message etc. ) one another...
good thing about cell phones is: all rate plans throughout most bigger name carriers ( at&t, verizon, sprint ) are exactly the same with minor tweaks ( rollover, voice data plans etc. )
jonesy44  -  Sep 10, 2008
Oh ok.. I'm used to UK phones which are all GSM i believe. i've heard the term thrown around but never actually known what it meant. xD

That is bad ass!!!!!! I just started learning MDX like 4 days ago.
