Last night I broke down and purchased the 2.1 software update for my iPod touch. I was saddened to lose my jailbroken state but I could get it back. The only application I will really miss is the Spanish dictionary I had installed. I could of course purchase one but I am pretty cheap. That is one of the reasons I decided to break down and buy the update. Among other things I got the apps I didn’t get when I bought my touch and for which Apple wanted me to pay an extra $20, but I only had to pay $9.99.

I have lots of new apps I love also. The maps app is pretty sweet. I didn’t think it could possibly find my location with any accuracy but when I asked it to find my location it placed me within about 25 feet of my house. The map search was really good as well but as with all thins Touch you have to be on WiFi. I could really enjoy an iPhone, especially the new one with GPS.

With the remote App I can control my iTunes library playing on my computer. Now I just need some speakers throughout the house so I can listen from other places.

I was able to retain my Tap Tap Revenge since it is avaible in Apple’s App store as well as my level.

Perhaps the best App is this Wordpress editor which allows me to write blog posts without being connected to the Internet and publish them when I get home.

I am looking forward to a really good LDS Scriptures App that will have linked notes and allow me to highlight and annotate. Several people claim to be working on it.

I wish the update could supply me with GPS, a built in speaker, and volume controls on the side. (The latter two are available on the next gen iPod Touch)
