Ipod Touch Applications

An iPod Touch is essentially a music cum multimedia player and with a very few other capabilities. But this is actually the commonly believed fact about “iPods”. The latest iPod Touch is in fact much more than that. It can actually do what I would expect a mini computer to be doing. But then how do I get it to do what I want it to? How to jailbreak my iPod Touch version 1.1.3 on a computer?

And trust me, it is as simple as putting another song into an iPod Touch version 1.1.3. A jail broken iPod Touch is a much more powerful device than you could ever imagine. It can play all the fantastic applications there are on the web, particularly the applications which were exclusively meant for the iPhone.

Here is a short procedure. If you have the 1.1.2 version, then it is advisable to upgrade to the 1.1.3. After upgrading, click on the safari web browser and open the website – http://www.jailbreakme.com. After the page opens, click on the AppSnapp link which will install the chief application for installing and running other 3rd party applications – Installer.app. After the browser restarts, you should unpack the BSD package which will appear on your iPod Touch version 1.1.3 home screen. So now the question “how to jailbreak my iPod Touch version 1.1.3 on a computer?” will have been answered.

Good luck with all the other great applications that you might use now.

The latest software update of the Ipod touch 1.1.3 application comes with a firmware upgrade caused such a huge excitement that the release of the $20 apple upgrade was somewhat overlooked. As is evident from many user experiences, the installation of the Ipod touch 1.1.3 applications is not that easy even if it comes at a small price.

Apparently, before attempting to upgrade the ipod with the 1.1.3 update, it was necessary to restore it to its virgin state and this was no big deal because one has to just plug it in the computer and open the iTunes software. The option “restore” smoothly restores the iPod to almost factory stage. Then the update has to be installed which was a little tiresome but eventually was completed.

Leaving this aside, some resourceful iTouch hackers have reported that without even installing the 1.1.3 update, most of the new iPod Touch applications could be easily accessed by hacking the update. This is not going to go down well with Apple. They say that a jailbroken iPod Touch 1.1.3 can run applications without any hassles so many people have not even bothered to upgrade their iPod Touch.

The applications available are pretty much the same as on the regular jail broken iPod touch. So you can enjoy all the features and applications that the update releases. Some of the most popular applications are Google maps, iPhone books, a variety of fun games, GPS navigation, multi – recipient SMS features and loads of other softwares. Even the iPod Touch 1.1.3 has powerful applications.
