Hi,

Today I found out about the new update for the iPod touch. I was thrilled, i mean, i really don't use the installer apps, i only cared about the Maps and Mail iPhone apps. However, when I found out that i had to pay $20 for a FIRMWARE UPGRADE i was extremely disappointed.
I think Apple has no right to make people like me who bought the iPod Touch last week PAY for something that would be released in a week. I mean, they should have warned us or something.
What i'm asking here is that if anyone has the upgrade, please give me a link to download it or upload it to rapidshare or other webhosting service so that i can download it.
Also, I live in South America, meaning that even if i wanted to pay i couldn't because there's no iTunes store in my country and also because i don't have a us bank account or someone who could mail me a Gift Card.

Thanks in advance.

1.1.3 is free through iTunes, the apps are a separate package.

yeah, obviously he wants the separate package. if you get this please pm me googleuser. id really appreciate it

Christ I hate to be rude, but it's only $20 for a $300 piece of equipment far less than a good set of headphones. Honestly it's worth it, just pay the money, not like Apple needs it but it means some fun apps come February with the release of the SDK.

The package is tied to hardware anyway. It won't work on other iPods.

1.1.3 contains the apps, the $20 you pay tells your iTunes to download a smaller, ~20KB pack which activates the apps and features in 1.1.3.

People are working to figure out how this process works.

Good news!

A good resource is iPod touch Fans, but you need to sort through all the redundant posts to find the info you need.

*Double Post Alert*

Apparently, someone figured out how to get the apps and features for free, but it transforms the iPod touch into an iPhone (meaning, you see "No Service" where it should say "iPod", and you have phone.app and sms.app, but I'm not sure what the full extent of this is...).

EDIT: Apparently, it also gives you that pesky "waiting for activation" deal.

I'm still waiting for a cleaner method for both the jailbreak and unlocking of apps and features.

Sounds sketchy but intriguing regardless.

I found out a solution to get basically all the features of the January upgrade for free.
Add this source to installer: http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
Then look for the 1.1.3 iPhone Applications category and there's a pack which will give you all the apps plus the lyrics display, the wiggly icons feature and the webclips.
This worked well for me, and it didn't transform my iPod into an iPhone.
This can be done using Nate's jailbreak and the DevTeam's one.
Hope it helps!

I posted this in another thread.

Credit where credit is due, please.
