Recently Apple has not been so nice to all of their early adapters and see them as just another way to make a few bucks. This started at the “Beat Goes On” Keynote in late 2007. Here they announced the $200 dollar price drop for the iPhone and left many people unhappy.
This continued at Macworld 2008 with the announcement of iPhone apps on the iPod Touch. The apps will of course be preinstalled BUT all of the people who had been there from the start will be slapped with a $20 fee to install the apps for themselves.
At 9to5Mac they have said to have an “extremely senior source” at sling media. They have reportedly said that they will have an iPhone and iPod Touch version of their SlingPlayer client coming soon.
Hang onto your Jailbreak, CNet France are reporting that this Saturday will see Apple release the latest firmware upgrade for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Expected to be v1.1.3, a weekend release would make it around a month since the last update (that added international keyboard languages, among other things, to the iPhone just prior to its European launch), a reasonable length of time for what are suspected to be well-requested feature additions. The consensus appears to be that voice recording software and the facility to use the iPod Touch (and iPhone) in disk mode as a portable hard-drive are the two significant functions in 1.1.3.
We had a proof-of-concept within what seemed like seconds of Apple releasing the v1.1.2 firmware update (it hadn’t even got to iTunes yet) but it’s taken the weekend for a working Jailbreak of the latest iPod Touch software to hit the virtual shelves. conceited software have put together a GUI for the whole process - which could require you to downgrade your PMP to v1.1.1 if you either upgraded yourself or bought an iPod Touch with the up-to-date version installed - that apparently takes around ten minutes to render your device amenable to third-party software.
The AppSnapp web based jailbreaking system for the iPod Touch and iPhone was recently updated and includes many new and improved features. It will inprove the overall concvience of simplicity of the jailbreak.

• Installer.app will install with community sources
• iPhones can now work with the YouTube app
Seeqpod is by far the coolest and most useful web application usable by Safari on both the iPod touch and iPhone. Seeqpod is an application that lists music by popular searches from open web servers it finds. Not sure about the legality of this, but it’s definitely a great web application.
The application lets you search for artists or tracks of your choice, or will let you chose from popular artists and playlists. The popular artists section gives a nice current list of artists, most of them you will know who they are.
Catching, well, just about everyone by surprise, it’s taken less than 24hrs for hackers to break the v1.1.2 firmware that Apple released for the iPod Touch. Although no guide or software has been released yet, what we do have is the following screenshot of a Touch running the latest Cupertino update; in order to get it, the owner would have had to install a screen-grab app.
After long waiting for a keyboard and resizing abilities, the VNsea dev team released version 0.5.0 Monday with everything everybody has been waiting for. Along with a keyboard tab they added a number of other Apple keyboard buttons, fix vertical or horizontal, and ability to resize the window.
Although this is not for the average user, and is also not available for the public yet, some hackers have decrypted the ramdisk and are now busy installing applications. So far the, Mail, Maps, and other 3rd party apps are up and running on their jailbreaked Touches.
Now its just matter of time until there countless apps. Seen here is the weather app for the iPod Touch.
