S_P, congratulations on downloading an app that offers identical functionality to the iPod's built in WiFi settings panel.

But it looks pretty which is all that matters.

Tried loads of the free ones but the vast majority are complete shite, gimmicky and I'd never use them. Currently got Remote, MyRail Lite and TubeStatus which are all pretty good.

wififinder actually picks up signals the wifi in settings deems too weak to use etc

now if you'd said that it notifies you when it detects an open network then people might have been interested...

Hmm. I wonder why they don't show up in settings. Could it be that they're too weak to use and hence useless?

.adam · « **Reply #245 on:** December 5, 2008, 07:15:54 am »

Plus, it's only useful when it's running as apps cannot run in the background. So unless your Spidey senses have an inkling that there's a faint wireless network in the vicinity, it's pretty useless.

it will notify you if there's a wifi signal nearby though, i assume it vibrates or something

Which is why I fire it up and stand next to my router.

I've been looking at this the last couple of weeks as I was in the USA.

It's only for second generation iPod Touches isn't it? Which is good for them but not for people like me with 1st gen. I only bought mine a couple of weeks before the 2nd gen came out but because I didn't buy it from Apple direct, but from Bestbuy, the bastards wouldn't swap it, as Apple did for my mate. Also the Nike jogging software is not compatible with 1st gen which is a pi........
Tell me I'm wrong and I'll be very happy.

.adam · « **Reply #253 on:** December 7, 2008, 04:13:30 pm »

Don't think so.

The second gen supports Apple's new earphones with built-in microphone in the wire.

Sorry.

has anyone seen the app "antiterror", it's such a yank app, basically it's an embargo list of european companies the yanks deem to be supporting terrorism in one way or another, it makes sure you don't accidentally fund terrorism

.adam · « **Reply #255 on:** December 8, 2008, 02:31:51 pm »

Except it's made by a German company?

Anyone played 'Real Soccer 09,' it's better than FIFA (well maybe not), graphics are brilliant and very addictive.

Never worried the Americans during the 70's and 80's.

That's because they didn't have iPhones to warn them.

Obviously.

Personally, I reckon it's cos they're fucking idiots.

Going to download the app now.

Not an overstatement either, but I cannot live without TV Plus.

I had a look at AntiTerror and the one in the German AppStore, but it seems to be based on the EU's list of embargos. Oddly, all of the screenshots seem to be of bin Laden.

No sure if this the right thread, but MGS4 is coming out on the iPhone touch

Just got my Ipod touch. love it so far.

Iis there anyway to get the games without having to pay ? like torrents and things? ive found a few torrents with games on but its a large file and didnt want to D/L it if it wouldnt work.

would my touch need to be jailbreaked before i can add apps even if there official apple ones just not from itunes??

sorry if its confusin ive had it like a day and just trying to get as much stuff as i can.

Walshy nMe® · « **Reply #271 on:** December 19, 2008, 10:57:01 am »

If you are downloading a game not through itunes you wouldhave to jailbreak it to allow access to the files in your touch.

You can add any app from the app store to your touch whether jailbroken or not, but if you are NOT downloading it through the app store your touch would need to be jailbroken.

alex. · « **Reply #272 on:** December 19, 2008, 01:11:54 pm »

There's two apps called AppShare and Installous (get them from Cydia- might need to add a source, though) which enable you to get most stuff of the App Store for free, but remember, I didn't tell you this.

Walshy nMe® · « **Reply #273 on:** December 19, 2008, 01:35:11 pm »

What source aee they on Alex?

Martyn. · « **Reply #274 on:** December 19, 2008, 05:57:56 pm »

If it is the new iPod touch then it cannot be jailbroken as yet.

Cheers for that, what about movies? does the same apply for those too? i have a few mpeg4 files on the comp still dont fully understand itunes though :s

iSmiff · « **Reply #278 on:** December 21, 2008, 10:59:31 pm »

no need to jailbreak, it's a function of the iphone or touch to play movies in mp4 format

Turns out you only need the Installous app now (don't need AppShare aswell)
