cringemaster Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Well everyone saw the new ipods, and now I wanna hear what you have to say about the ipod nano and classic interface. I truly like it. I also like the new ipod touch though, but cmon, who can pass up 160 Gb in their pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 i like the new gui, what i really would be interested in is finding a way to update the gui on older models to the current one. i dont really need 160 gb, i dont really need 30...

failurbydesign Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 when do the classic ones come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redoxin Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 they are already out. check the apple store... Yeah i like the ipod touch, but whats the point to have an ipod if you don't have a click wheel, every time i want to skip a song i have to get it out of my pocket, they should have inserted the click wheel in the touch screen. I still don't know if i should wait for the touch or get the classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 The iPod touch and its web browser reminds me a little of the psp and its wifi and browser setup. In all actualiy, ill probably end up with the 16 gb touch, or il wait for the 32 gb touch. I alredy have some 10 or 11 gb of music, id hate to not ba able to carry it all with me. and all my scrubs episodes, eesh. its.. so... hard.

rumpel0815 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Is there any possibility to upgrade the old 5.5G interface to the new interface? PLZ Steve hast to update this!!! Any intel on further proceedings?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDerf2006 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Is there any possibility to upgrade the old 5.5G interface to the new interface? PLZ Steve hast to update this!!! Any intel on further proceedings?! I was thinking the same, it would probably be a really interesting and fun project. I've heard that the insides of the iPod 5.5G and the iPod classic are basically the same - anyone got a firmware dump of the classic's OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabberslasher Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Since there's obviously people wanting it, here's a link to the iPod Classic firmware: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-3619.20070905.iNq3b/iPod_24.1.0.ipsw It doesn't download for me in Safari, but curl -O works. But don't expect to be able to get this working on older machines - from what I can guess, this is an embedded version of OS X (as there are no portalplayer strings in the firmware and it's 90mb). Rename the .ipsw file to .zip and unzip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cringemaster Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 only?i have about 70gb.you should go with touchPod. ~R ha, well at last check it was around 12, now its about 14, but i still havent ripped all my cd's, and my technics sl-d2 needs a new pre-amp and sylus (already has an uber-expensive cart with a G engraved on it) before i can rip all those records i got for turning 16. (i know, what a great way to celebrate your kids 16th birthday , give him a 30 year old turntable and a monster collection of records ...that i cant play ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbz Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yeah i like the ipod touch, but whats the point to have an ipod if you don't have a click wheel, every time i want to skip a song i have to get it out of my pocket, they should have inserted the click wheel in the touch screen. Well, I thought about this for a little while and came to the conclusion that there's a similar function in the touch: double-press the home button no matter where you are, and a list of onscreen controls come on. Knowing where they are will probably be as trivial as pressing the clickwheel after a week... those are my thoughts on it, anyway... -Urbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Ivy Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 {censored}, I'm going to try it. If it bricks, I'll send it off with my extended warranty to Best Buy. Hell, they might even give me a new {censored} Classic just for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-negative Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Did Apple just throw user interface design into a water bucket? The split UI on the new iPods are hideous. And that's for someone who loves the OS X, Touch/iPhone interfaces. Heck, even the "hacked" 5.5G Classic firmware looks much better. Sorry, but this gen seems to be quite weak and in terms of UI alone, I'd get another player from a competitor ("Zorro" ) that looks gorgeous whatever way you spin it.
