Apple sells this model brand new for $229 and you get the 8GB 8GB iPod Touch 4G new for $205 in Amazon.com with free shipping.

Even though the woot.com is a great deal, I personally might just buy the brand new from Amazon vs refurb at woot. What do you think?

Lifehacker just posted a cool post where they convert an iPod Touch into an iPhone with its original plastic packaging and the Apple headphones.

It is not the prettiest thing to look at but it is a cool DIY project nevertheless. Here is the end product.

Actually, this project is moot if you have the Apple earphones with a built-in remote and mic.

If you are on the tethered jailbreak side, Dev Team has released an update to redsn0w to help you with a one-click solution.

Basically, they have added some command line options to redsn0w which can be run with a single click command. Here is the full update from Dev Team on this

Update #3: We’ve updated redsn0w to include “one-click” support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.  Using command-line arguments, you can now bypass the screens you’d normally see as you use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now”.

The available command line arguments are:

-j to ask redsn0w to “Just boot now tethered for now”
-i <filename> to specify your reference IPSW
-o for old-bootrom iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS
-b <filename> to specify your own boot logo png

For example, to get redsn0w for Mac to do a tethered boot of an iPod touch 4G jailbroken at 4.2.1:

open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app —args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw

This assumes both redsn0w and the IPSW are on your OS X desktop, so modify as necessary!  Included in the zip is an example script file that you can double click on to launch redsn0w like this (the Windows example assumes everything is in C:\). (Mac users: please remember to change the permissions of your custom *.command files to allow execution.)

This should help ease the pain of the tethered jailbreak until @comex comes up with a 4.2.1 untether (or for those of you with legit access to the 4.2b3 IPSW, until the “Jailbreak Monte” untether is out of beta)!

PLEASE UPGRADE TO iTunes 10.1 FOR BEST RESULTS

WINDOWS 7 USERS SHOULD RUN redsn0w IN “XP COMPATIBILITY” MODE

Make sure you’re using a USB 2.0 port

OS X

Windows

We will update the site if and when an untethered jailbreak is released. Also, if you give this a try, let me know in the comments on how well it works. If you are looking for tutorials to jailbreak your iDevice, we recommend checking out redmondpie.com.

For now, we want to share what the devs at Occipital found hidden in Mobile Safari for iOS 4.2.

They have discovered that the gyroscope inside the iPhone 4 and the new iPod Touch can be used to access the augmented reality features in Mobile Safari on iOS 4.2.

In fact, they have set up a quick demo so if you have the right device and the right iOS version, you can see it right now here.  http://occip.it/pt3dmqna

I am still on iOS 4.1, so if you try it let us know in the comments.

But, if you want it personalized with the name of the person you are buying it for, then buying from Apple is the way to go.

But, if you are looking to purchase one and still have it for Christmas, then the time is running out.

Apple has announced the last call for personalized iPod Touch and iPad and you have until Dec 19 for iPad and Dec 20 for iPod Touch.

Order one before the deadline, and Apple will throw in free express shipping and will deliver the personalized gift on or before the 24th.

So, which one is it going to be?
