Upgrade and Hack iPod Touch 2.1 firmware
It was more than 8 months since my last hack to iPod touch 1.1.3 firmware. I know iPod touch 2.0 is already available but I don’t upgrade immediately. There were still lots of software compatibility problem that time. For example, my lovely MxTube app that allow me to download Youtube video directly into iPod touch doesn’t work.
Why Upgrade and Hack iPod 2.1 ?
Until the release of iPhone/iPod touch SDK for developer and launching of App Store, thousands of free and paid apps available for download. After then, I keep an eye for the jailbreak version and techniques.
Frankly, iPod touch 1.1.3 was running very well in terms of performance and stability. Only I don’t like its limitation of new apps. Most of new apps are available in App Store now. To use App Store, you must upgrade to at least iPod 2.0 firmware. Finally, I decided to upgrade and hack my iPod touch to the latest 2.1 firmware!
Look at my iPod touch 2.1 firmware screenshot on right, is it attractive? Yes! The new Gee Theme Pro make my iPod looks more professional. Again, Big thanks to Rupert. The iPod touch 2.1 make screenshot easiest ever. No third party app was needed. While press and hold “Home” button, press and release “Power” button to take a snapshot. It auto insert into Photo library.
