Last week, Apple introduced the 1.1.3 update for the iPod Touch. Lots of updates:
– Safari can now create bookmarks on the home screen
– icons can now be sorted at will
– “iPhone” apps (maps, stocks, notes, mail, weather) are now available ($20 upgrade)
– the home screen has multiple pages
– many more changes
So I decided to update. I didn’t want to lose the possibility to install 3rd party apps, so I searched for a ‘customised’ update method ;)
Thanks to DJMuggs I found iJailbreak. This app can update iPhones and iPod touches, and comes with a nice interface. It gives instructions on what to do when interaction on the iDevice is needed. Also, it has an option to self-update, so now I don’t really have to pay attention to 10.000 forums, blogs and Digg anymore for the latest iPod fix, just start this app when people around me start telling me there’s a new version.
So now I have a freshly updated and jailbroken iPod Touch again. iJailbreak was so nice to install installer.app and all the iPhone apps for me.
