I tried the Windows jailbreak on my iPod Touch and it works perfectly! Very easy to use. Anyone else jailbreaking or planning to? QuickPWN does the trick.

In my last post I posted about the iPod Touch 2.2 update, but I just remembered that some people don't want to pay for it and they want to download the iPod Touch 2.2 .ipsw file. I've posted the free download of iPod Touch 2.2 here. Just click the link below, right-click and save it to your desktop. Then launch iTunes and click shift+restore, choose the 2.2 firmware and let it upgrade your iPod Touch to the latest firmware! Remember, you can't jailbreak it yet! I will make a detailed guide once the jailbreak is available.

Download iPod Touch 2.2 link Edit: Link fixed.

Personally I'm waiting for the jailbreak so I haven't tried it yet. If anyone has tried it feel free to post about your experience with it in the comments. And has anyone managed to jailbreak it? Please let us know. I'm sure we have other people besides the DevTeam that know how to jailbreak.

Apple has finally released the iPod Touch 2.2 update. After looking at the list of the iPod Touch 2.2 features I think it's really worth the upgrade. So you should go ahead and upgrade! But wait, do you have a jailbroken iPod Touch? Sorry, there is no jailbreak for iPod Touch 2.2 firmware yet. You will have to wait until there is one released by the Dev Team. I will keep you updated and make a post once it is released.

So what are the new iPod Touch 2.2 features? Here is a list of the features:
If you want to upgrade to iPod Touch 2.2 and you don't want to wait for the jailbreak, just launch iTunes and click shift+update to update your firmware.

How to Add iPod Touch videos to your iTouch

Do you want iPod Touch videos? It's actually simple to add a video to your iPod Touch. Yes you can launch the YouTube application and find whatever video you're looking for over there, but do you want to actually download that video from YouTube so you can view it any time without a WiFi connection? For this you will need to download an application called MXTube. Launch the Cydia application on your jailbroken iPod Touch and search for "MXTube". Download and install this app. Once you launch it you will be able to search through YouTube videos and download any YouTube videos to your iPod Touch. It's really simple to use this application and I've found it really helpful for downloading videos that I can watch later when I'm traveling.

If you have any questions or doubts about this, feel free to leave a comment here.

To the delight of all, but especially for developers, Apple has released the software review of EU policy to require that the fact that the application in question before the publication of an audit and opinion. There was a large number of articles on how this was not only harmful to consumers, but for developers of applications, such as those from a LiteNiteSoft.

Therefore, it would be the development of the iPhone App Store in the short and long term. This was again at the beginning of the month of July, but better late than never.

Tuaw has more information about this revision review of EU policies from Apple:

Since its inception in July, just a process of review was one of constant complaints or inquiries from the App Store. The old procedure, which is the same as the current policy of podcasts, movies, TV shows and music, to check who applcation, regardless of whether this person had purchased the application or not. The result is often that you expect: 100 Comments Kvetching on prices, even from people who made the request. This is not just for the developer, and it is unfair to potential buyers.

2. Download iPod Touch 2.1, shift-click restore in iTunes to install it.

Sega recently released an update to their Super Monkey Ball iPhone and iPod Touch App in the App Store.

This update includes the following features:
- The addition of an interactive tutorial
- More instructions added
- When you press the "Home" button, the game suspends

You can download Super Monkey Ball 1.0.1 by clicking the below link:

Download Super Monkey Ball 1.0.1

(This is only for people that haven't purchased Super Monkey Ball yet. If you have already purchased Super Monkey Ball, you can simply launch the App Store and update to Super Monkey Ball 1.0.1 from there)

EA Mobile has confirmed that it will be launching the Spore Origins iPhone and iPod Touch game to the App Store on Friday, September 12th. The game will cost you $5. It has 35 levels and takes full advantage of the accelerometer.

“We’re really excited to bring Spore Origins to the iPhone and iPod touch,” said Travis Boatman, Vice President Worldwide Studios at EA Mobile. “By leveraging the unique capabilities of these devices, players can customize their own creatures and shape their destiny in an exciting evolutionary journey.”

EA also announced nine other iPhone and iPod Touch games that they plan on releasing:

Yahtzee Adventures, EA Mini Golf, Lemonade Tycoon, Mahjong, Monopoly: Here & Now, The World Edition, SimCity, Tiger Woods, PGA Tour 09, Need for Speed Undercover, and The Sims 3.

QuickPWN version 1.0 for the iPod Touch and iPhone has been released. It's an instant GUI program that allows you to jailbreak your 2.0.1 firmware. It's definitely better than WinPWN 2.5 (which hasn't even been released yet) because it doesn't bring up any errors and it was released quicker. QuickPWN doesn't work with 2.0.2 yet, so you may want to wait if you want to jailbreak your 2.0.2 firmware.

To download QuickPWN, use the below link:
Download QuickPWN

Edit: Link UPDATED! New link is working. Just click the download link above.

Are you having trouble finding the USBAAPL.sys file for your iPod? Is your computer not able to locate this file? Usually you can find this by navigating to C:\Windows\system32\drivers. If you don't see the file there then you will have to download the USBAAPL.sys file! A lot of users have been trying to locate this file but I noticed that it's not online. For those that need it, I've uploaded a copy of my USBAPPL.sys file. It can be downloaded from the link below.

You can now get linerider for your iPhone or iPod Touch! Actually it's called FlyRider, and it was recently released in the App Store. This application can be downloaded for free (only for a limited time so download it before it's too late). It's a clone of the linerider game and takes advantage of the accelerometer features for the iPhone. I think this game can easily become one of the top downloaded games for the App Store. Download it today and try it for yourself! Use the download link below.

Today it has been one month since the iPod Touch and iPhone App Store has launched. Steve Jobs had an interview with the WSJ this morning, and he announced the amount of money the App Store apps have made. It's interesting how sales in the App Store were as high as $30 million! I wonder how cracked apps that people have been sharing freely on the Internet will affect the sales in the coming months. If you think about it, Apple actually made about $9 million, and the developers made $21 million because Apple keeps 30% of what the developers make.

Besides announcing the revenue Apple made from the App Store, Steve Jobs also announced the amount of downloads. There were more than 60 million downloads from the App Store!

Steve Jobs also confirmed in the interview that Apple put a killswitch in the iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0 firmware that allows Apple to disable an application that is found to be malicious.

Do you know about the "I Am Rich" app that was going for $999.99? Steve Jobs said that he removed it because he and Apple felt that it wasn't right to put it up. Well, I don't believe Apple should have done that because developers have the right to put up any type of app they want to sell. Just because 8 people accidentally purchase it, it doesn't mean Apple should remove it!

Shortly after the iPhone Dev Team released their PWNAGETool 2.0.2 for the MAC, CMW, the creator of WinPWN released WinPWN 2.0.0.4 for Windows users.  Now Windows users have the ability to jailbreak iPod Touch and iPhone firmware 2.0.1.  This GUI software allows you to easily jailbreak your iPhone 3G 2.0.1, iPod Touch 2.0.1, or iPhone device.  Check below for the download link.

New WinPWN 2.0.0.4 features:
- Has support for firmware 1.1.4, 2.0, and 2.0.1
- Allows you to resize the root partition
- Includes Installer 4.0 beta 4
- Supports Windows XP and Windows Vista 32, and 64 bit

Notes:

- Before installing WinPWN 2.0.0.4 you must uninstall any older versions of WinPWN you have installed.
- Make sure you have iTunes 7.7, if not then upgrade
- Make sure you have enough RAM, WINPWN uses 300MB of RAM space
- To use WinPWN, make sure you click "Browse" and select your IPSW
- If you have firmware 2.0, only the  *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work.
- If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won't cause problems
- Do not activate or install the YouTube Fix if you have service with AT&T or another authorized carrier

Purchasing your own ringtone for the iPhone is not a good idea when you can make your own ringtone by yourself! Follow the below tutorial to learn how you can make your own ringtone.

"First, open iTunes and select the song you want to make into a ringtone. Right-click (control click on Mac laptops) and select "Get Info." Mac users, you can select the song and just do command-I.

Get the options tab in the window that opens as shown. Put in a start and stop time. The whole time must not exceed thirty seconds. For example, you could specify the start time to be 0:00 and the stop time to be 0:30 (or anything less). You could also have it start at 0:20 and end at 0:50. You get the idea. Click OK to save changes.

Right click on the song and select "Convert selection to AAC." Even if it's already in AAC format, you must do this. The song will be converted and duplicated, but will now be as short as the time specified before. Note: if your selection doesn't convert to AAC, you must go to iTunes--Preferences--Advanced--Importing and select "AAC Encoder" in the box next to "Import Using:".

Select the clipped song and export it from your library. On Mac, you can just drag it onto the desktop, but I don't know if Windows people can do this or not. You may have to export it via the File menu (File--Export).

Change the extension of the exported song to ".m4r" -- it should have been ".m4a" before. In both cases, the quotes are not actually in the extension--a song may be called Mozart.m4r. On Mac, your system will warn you about changing a file extension, but don't worry--nothing bad will happen.

Go to File--Import (or just do command-shift-O on Mac, and yes, that's the letter "O") and import the song. It should automatically go into the ringtones section of iTunes since this is the extension ringtones use.

Next time you sync your iPhone, your new ringtone should sync right over. To use it, go to the home screen, then Settings--Sounds--Ringtone and it should be right at the top under the word "Custom."

Today Apple released iPhone firmware 2.1 Beta 3 for developers. If you are a developer, you should have gotten the following e-mail:

"iPhone OS 2.1 beta 3 is now available and is to be used for testing only. View the Pre-Installation Advisory for iPhone OS 2.1 beta 3, Readme, and Release Notes before installing the new versions of the iPhone OS and SDK. As a reminder, pre-release software is Confidential Information and is subject to the terms outlined in your Registered iPhone Developer Terms and Conditions with Apple."

This iPhone firmware cannot be restored back to any other firmwares, but you can restore it to before 2.0 by putting your iPhone in DFU mode.

As I mentiond in my other post, currently there is no way to jailbreak iPod Touch 2.0.1 firmware. iPhone-Dev has come up with a solution, but they have not yet released it. CMW at WinPWN is also developing WinPWN 2.5 which will give you the capabilities to jailbreak the newer firmware. For now just stay with your current iPod Touch 2.0 firmware! If you scroll down below, you'll see some screenshots of WinPWN 2.5, which I hope comes out soon.

Phil Larson of Proximity has developed a killer app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that has copy and paste functionality. It's called MagicPad! It's actually a rich text editor that allows you to format the font of the text, color, and copy & paste and e-mail your notes. Unfortunately the copy & paste feature only works in the MagicPad application itself instead of adding the copy/paste functionality to the rest of the iPhone/iPod Touch. Apple really needs to look at hat Phil created and learn how to implement this in their firmware! I hope they will have copy/paste in firmware 2.0.0.1. You can view a demo of the MagicPad app below. It will be available in the AppStore soon.

According to a post on MacRumors, Apple will release a free remote control application for the iPhone and iPod Touch when it launches it's store next month. This will allow you to remotely play your iTunes music in your iPhone/iPod Touch through a WiFi connection. According to Mac Rumors, this will work on both on Mac and PC.

I recently came across a great application that allows to use your iPhone or your iPod Touch as a hard drive or an external disk. The program is called Disk Aid. It's 100% free and allows you to just drag and drop your files. It's also compatible with both Mac and PC. You don't have to jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone to use this device, and it's supported on firmware 1.1.1 to 1.1.4! This is definitely a great software for your iPod Touch or iPhone. Download Disk Aid at http://www.digidna.net/diskaid/.

Today the iPhone Dev team will release the iPhone/iPod Touch PWNED/PWNAGE tool. This is a really powerful tool. It will completely eliminate the need for jailbreaking your iPod Touch or your iPhone. What this tool does is that it takes your firmware, and allows you to modify your.ipsw files to make the firmware work as the way you want it to work. You can develop your own applications and modify the iPod firmware directly instead of having to download and jailbreak and hope it works. In other words, you can fully modify your iPhone or iPod Touch!

You can view a video of how this works below. Updates on the release of this tool will be posted on this website, be sure to check back later today!



More information on this can be found on http://www.iPwner.net

4. Once it's installed, reboot your iPod Touch firmware 1.1.4/1.1.2/1.1.3/1.1.1. You should now see an icon on springboard that shows Adblock. Tap that icon and start configuring your options!

Here is a video on the iPhone / iPod Touch firmware 2.0 which shows the new features that are added to it.

As you can see in the video, new features include:
- Calculator has square shaped buttons instead of the circle buttons
- There are parental controls added (requires you to type in a passcode to access controls)
- The iTunes logo has a new icon
- Microsoft Exchange Server is added to the e-mails list
- Cisco VPN
- New Calendar features
- Support for WPA/WPA 2 on WiFi



Well, if you saw the video, you would have noticed that the iPod Touch firmware 2.0 wasn't jailbreaked in there. But the DEV team HAS already jailbreaked it and will release the jailbreak once the firmware for the 2.0 comes out.

The Dev team has already jailbrokent the iPhone 2.0 firmware before it even came out! Hopefully the same will be done for iPod Touch 2.0 by the time it comes out. That's all we know so far. This is a screenshot of the jailbreak. There's really not much to share at this point.

Sun Microsystems is developing a Java Virtual Machine for Apple's iPhone and plans to release the JVM some time after June, enabling Java applications to run on the popular mobile device.


The JVM is to be based on the Java Micro Edition (ME) version of Java, said Eric Klein, vice president of Java marketing at Sun, on Friday afternoon. Apple had not shown interest in enabling Java to run on the iPhone, but Sun plans to step in and do the job itself after having pondered Thursday's release of an SDK for the iPhone by Apple.

"Now, the iPhone is open" as a target platform, Klein said. The free JVM would be made available via Apple's AppStore marketplace for third-party applications.

"We're going to make sure that the JVM offers the Java applications as much access to the native functionality of the iPhone as possible," he said.

Besides Java games, developers could bring over enterprise applications such as ERP or CRM to the iPhone, said Klein. Apple's iTouch, which features iPhone capabilities minus telephony, also will be supported by the JVM.

"Once our JVM is on the phone, we anticipate that a large number of Java applications would run on the phone," Klein said.

"We're going to work to make sure that the JVM offers the Java applications as much access to the native functionality of the iPhone as possible," said Klein.

By bringing the JVM to the iPhone, Java capabilities in area such as SSL security could be brought to Apple's platform, said analyst Chris Silva of Forrester Research.

"I think going forward, with the SDK, it takes out of Apple's control which applications are 'right' for the iPhone," Silva said.

Sun came to the conclusion it could make a JVM work on the iPhone after taking 24 hours to look at information on Apple's SDK. Sun saw nothing in the public statements preventing the JVM from being one of the applications enabled on the iPhone, said Klein. Apple released the SDK in conjunction with the beta release if its iPhone 2.0 software; the general release of iPhone 2.0 is scheduled for June.

Future plans could include extending more sophisticated Java Standard Edition (SE) and JavaFX technologies to the iPhone, Klein said.

"It's a new platform for us. We might be able to bring additional technologies onto the iPhone and the iTouch," Klein said.

Developers, Klein said, have built great applications, and until now they have been unable to get them running on the iPhone. Sun previously has expressed its desire that Java be supported on the iPhone.

Yesterday, during American Idol, Apple released a new iPod Touch Ad. The ad shows many iPod Touches laid out on a table and shows various features. Some iPod Touches are shown up close and hands reach out and grab the iPod Touch with the words "Everybody touch" displayed. View a video of this ad below.

According to Mac Rumors, a reputable Apple News website, the iPod Touch SDK will be released on Thursday, March 6.

We are only 3 weeks away!

The iPod Touch SDK kit will allow developers to integrate Macromedia Flash into the iPod Touch. Games like line rider will be able to be played! Java would work too. We would no longer need to jailbreak iPod Touch firmware releases. Making Applications would be much easier.

iPod Touch firmware 1.1.4 has now been released. I would highly recommend upgrading to this firmware if you own an iPod Touch. Here's why.

Firstly, Audio quality is improved! Yes, you will notice a difference in your music.

Secondly, there are a lot of bug fixes.

And last, but not least, this version prepares you for the SDK applications. Apple modified a lot of files in preperation of the SDK (iPod Touch Software Development Kit) launch. This will allow developers to create applications for the iPod Touch.

Here is the direct download link for iPod Touch 1.1.4 firmware:
- iPod Touch 1.1.4 download
- iPhone 1.1.4 download

Okay, I have received a couple questions concerning the jailbreaking process of the 1.1.4 firmware. NO, right now it is not possible to jailbreak the iPod Touch 1.1.4, and even if you manage to do it, a lot of applications will not work. Fortunately ZiPhone is working on releasing a newer version of their software so that you will be able to jailbreak the new firmware. You can check out their website at http://www.downloadziphone.org and http://www.ziphone.org

This is a .tar.gz file, so you'll need a program like WinAce(http://www.winace.com) to extract the files.

Note: YOU MUST BE RUNNING JAILBREAKED FIRMWARE 1.1.2 with the BSD SUBSYSTEM to RUN THIS JAILBREAK! If you don't have it then upgrade to it. My jailbreak 1.1.2 guide is located here. The BSD Subsystem can be install through Installer. Go to Installer >> System >> and BSD Subsystem.

Why should you use this jailbreak instead of Nate's jailbreak? Okay, this one is official, but what other reason is there? This jailbreak method doesn't make the SDK code malfunction.

On to the jailbreak tutorial now.


1. This jailbreak involves downloading the firmware off of Apple's website. Be sure you have the cable connected to your iPod Touch or iPhone. If you have an iPhone be sure to turn the auto-lock option off!


2.Login to putty and enter in the below text.
# scp -r ./* root@iphone:/

2. Run the install.sh script by typing the below text:
# sh install.sh

3. Now the device will perform an upgrade and reboot into 1.1.3

If something DOES go wrong, downgrade back to 1.1.2 and try again.

If you get something like illegal hardware instruction, just try rebooting
and it should be updated to 1.1.3.

If you don't get service, try a forced-power-down then power back on.

You can now make the $20 Apps work with your iPod Touch for free. All you have to do is follow the simple steps below.

1. Install SSH viewing my guide here.
2. SSH into your iPod Touch.
3. Navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices
4. Double-click Springboard.app
5. Rename the file N45AP.plist to blank.plist
6. Rename M68AP.plist to N45AP.plist
7. Reboot your iPod Touch!

Now you can play with the wiggly icons and enjoy your iPod Touch 1.1.3 jailbreaked edition!

After jailbreaking your iPod Touch 1.1.3, you'll need to add SSH. Adding SSH requires you to install the BSD Subsystem too. To add SSH follow the below steps.

1. Launch the Installer App
2. Go to Install >> System >> and select BSD Subsystem
3. Click "Install" to install the BSD Subsystem
4. After BSD Subsystem is installed, go to Install >> System >> and select OpenSSH
5. Click "Install" to install OpenSSH
6. Now you can login to your iPod Touch through SSH! You can download an SSH client called WinSCP at http://www.winscp.com/. The default login is username: root password: alpine.

The iPod Touch 1.1.3/iPhone 1.1.3 jailbreak for MAC has been released, to download click the below link:
http://devices.natetrue.com/iphone/jb113.dmg

Launch Run_This. Read all the instructions, press Enter when you need to, and the image will be uploaded to your phone.

If you're using iPod Touch make sure you use the iPhone firmware 1.1.3 file since the iPod Touch 1.1.3 hasn't been decrypted yet! Otherwise this will not work.

One of the jailbreak methods for iPhone firmware 1.1.3 has been released! Read on below to learn how you can jailbreak firmware 1.1.3 for the iPhone.

1. If you currently have firmware 1.1.3 installed, you must downgrade to firmware 1.1.1. To do so, connect your iPhone to your computer and wait for iTunes to launch. Once you see your iPhone in the iTunes window, press and hold down both the power and home button on your iPhone. When the iPhone shuts down, release the power button. After you've done that wait for the iPhone to appear back in the iTunes window, and release the home button. Your iPhone should now be in "recovery mode". Press "Shift" on your keyboard, and click the "Restore" button in iTunes. Select the iPod 1.1.1 firmware .ipsw file to restore your iPhone to that version. Your firmware should start downgrading now. Once that's done, you can continue with the below tutorial.

2. Okay, on to the jailbreak! So, if you followed the first step in this tutorial, that means you have a 1.1.1 firmware iPod Touch/iPhone. You must jailbreak this version. To do so, go to Jailbreakme.com and click App Snapp to jailbreak your firmware 1.1.1 iPod Touch/iPhone. After that you need to go to Installer >> Tweaks 1.1.1 >>> and install the OktoPrep. Launch iTunes, download the 1.1.2 file and click upgrade. After upgrading your iPod Touch to 1.1.2, jailbreak it, view the tutorial here to jailbreak 1.1.2 firmware. Note:

3. Now that you're running a jailbreaked 1.1.2 firmware of the iPhone/iPod Touch, you can continue on with this tutorial. Okay, to start out with, download the files needed for the jailbreak at http://devices.natetrue.com/iphone/ibrickr-jb113.zip

4. Next, launch the program ibrickr.exe.

5. Follow the steps on iBrickr. (For iPod Touch users, you'll need to download the iPhone firmware 1.1.3 for right now and use that for the iBrickr. The 1.1.3 firmware has not been decrypted.)

6. Go to Installer and install the 1.1.3 soft upgrade

7. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should restart with firmware 1.1.3!

The iPod Touch and iPhone 1.1.3 is ready for installable applications.

- SpringBoard doesn't need to be changed through Summerboard to show the extra applications in the /Applications folder.
- All applications run as 'mobile' instead of as 'root'.
- Preferences are now stored in '/var/mobile' instead of /var/root.

There is currently no other application available for purchase other than the iPod Touch's $20 software package, but the installation architecture seems to be ready. Apple could release more software for sale, or for free if they want.

To make it easier for developers to make programs with he SDK, the frameworks have gone through many changes. These changes will make some applications not work with the iPod Touch, but developers can update their applications as needed, when the SDK comes out near the end of February.

The iPod Touch 1.1.3 firmware has been jailbreaked or jailbroken or hacked, whichever term you prefer! Unfortunately the jailbreak will NOT come out until February, when the official SDK comes out.

Here are details on the jailbreak:
- It does require opening up your iPod Touch and playing with the hardware
- The hacking teams claim that they discovered the code "LittleBear" when they decrypted the firmware
- An Official SDK will be released sometime in February
- A lot of applications still won't be able to work in the jailbreak
- Springboard.app may not work, and Customize.app may not work either

Unfortunately this Jailbreak does have a lot of downsides. Fortunately the SDK for the iPod Touch or iPhone is coming out next month, so we can look forward to that. With the new SDK, the hacking community will be able to solve a lot of problems like adding flash to the iPod Touch, adding line rider to iPod Touch, and more.

You can view the video below for proof on the jailbroken iPod Touch 1.1.3.

The folks over at TouchMods have developed an application that allows you to make phone calls through your iPod Touch WiFi connection. The tutorial below explains how you can get VoIP on your iPod Touch.

1. You will need to install the TouchMods repository to your iPod Touch, so launch the Installer App. (Note: If you don't have installer, you can alternately download the App from http://touchmods.net/releases/SIP-VoIP.app.zip)

2. Tap the Sources button on the bottom right corner and then tap the Edit button on the top right corner.

3. Enter in touchmods.net/rep.xml as the source, and tap "OK".



4. Tap the Install button and scroll down the Categories until you find the "Touchmods" directory. Tap the Touchmods directory.



5. You should know see an Application named Touchmods SIP-VoIP, tap that and click the Install button on the upper right corner.

6. Tap the Install button.

7. Restart your iPod Touch.



8. You should now see an application called SIP-VoIP, launch the application by tapping the icon for it.

9. So you have SIP-VoIP application on your iPod Touch, now what? Well, you need to sign up for a SIP provider. Without it you can't use this application. Some SIP providers include: freecall.com, blueface.ie, sipgate.com, inphonex.com, voipcheap.com, sipphone.com, voipbuster.com,freephonie.net,wengo.fr,fonosip.com, voip.bruiula.net,voipstunt.com, and freeworlddialup.com .



10. After signing up for a SIP Provider, tap the "Account" button in the SIP-VoIP app. Enter in your Username, Password, and Registrar. To enter in your Registrar information, you'll need to look at http://svsip.free.fr/spip.php?article2 and see which registrar your SIP Provider has. For example, if you're using "freecall" you would use "sip.voiparound.com" as the registrar. Then tap "Save".



11. You can now tap the "Phone button", enter in the phone # you want to call, and tap the Dial button to call!

Note: The SIP VoIP application only works with iPod Touch firmware 1.1.1, and 1.1.2.
You will need a Microphone to talk, you can currently pre-order one from TouchMods at http://touchmods.net/touchmods/preorder/.


If you want, you can also change the look/theme of your SIP VoIP app. To do this, you can SSH into your iPod Touch, go to /Applications/SIP-VoIP.app and replace icon.png, Default.png, call.png and account.png, with the new skin files. You can download skins at the repository located at http://touchmods.net/skins/.
