The touch can be upgraded to 2.1 firmware. I personally would sell them both and get the 2nd gen one tho. ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > The touch can be upgraded to 2.1 firmware. I personally would sell them both and get the 2nd gen one tho. Not a big deal that I don’t have built in speakers or volume control. The 8GB is the recent model that just got discontinued. I just want to screw around with it, but want to make sure I pick the right one to do it with. ---

Both are the same. You can upgrade either to the newest 2.0 firmware but if you have one that is a 1.X firmware, it will cost you I think like 9.50 if you do it through iTunes so just find the firmware online and install it yourself. ---

Cool jailbreak app I found today: Status Notifier ([http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1948](http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1948)) Puts the status of Email, SMS, Phone Calls, and Voicemail in the status bar by the clock. Pretty sweet! ---

I’m sorry iPhone people I preordered the G1 haha… I’m a phone addict and google addict and I couldn’t help myself. I want GPS, but being on Tmobile I can’t do the 3g iphone, I’ve wanted a real keyboard for a while… I feel like I’m turning my back on my best friend since the iphone is DEFINITELY the best phone I’ve ever had haha… Oh well! ^^^ Thanks for the info that status notifier is out, just got it from cydia. woot!!! I’ve been waiting for that since 2.0 came around. 😃 ---

Ah WTF. Status notifier now requires winterboard. F that.
