I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch for my fourth year rotations but can't decide which size to get. Right now, I'm leaning toward the 16 GB. What do you think? The other sizes are 8gb/32 gb, btw.
thanks, I'm actually considering buying the macbook pro 13.3, as well, because my computer is 5 years old & has been having problems all year. thus, i can get a "free" 8 gb ipod touch (w/ rebate) or spend extra $70 for 16gb, or extra $170 for 32gb. My parents currently pay for my cell phone bill under the family plan, so I basically get whatever phone they agree to pay for, which happens to be a blackberry curve without internet (which would cost $30 extra/month). Am I correct in thinking the ipod touch does not require a monthly internet use fee, as long as there are wireless internet signals in the area?
oh, and i just wanted to add that I have to buy the macbook (with free ipod touch) by september to obtain the deal, so no waiting for me. lol.
Get the 32GB one. That's the one I have. After you get it, find a geek to jail break it for you, then you can download Lexi Comp for free.
It's my understanding that as long as you want to continue to download updates and/or Apps/programs on the iphone for free, one would have to keep jail breaking the iphone every time new iphone updates come out. correct??

Do you know if there are any apps that would be useful to a first year? Like flashcards or something? I got an 8GB when I bought my computer and am deciding if I want to sell it or not.
I'm not very tech savvy- what does the program do exactly?
+1iFlipr has the ability to download flashcards that other people have already made. There are a bunch of top 200 sets out there - plus disease states and Anatomy/phys as well.

+1 for jailbreaking iphone
Haha... you don't need a geek to jailbreak... oh wait maybe i am one

make it ra1n with purplera1n program.
Easy as pie.. just click a button and you are done.
And get those iBEC and iBSS before you do jailbreak so you can forever jailbreak.
Get the backgrounder program (allows for multitasking) when you jailbreak and look around for some themes... as well as five icon dock, ringtones, and tons of other programs that makes iphone so much better.
purplera1n (is that how you spell it?) is inferior to the iPhone Dev Team unlock.
I am not sure if hacktivating is still an issue - but it is something to consider if you will not be activating it via ATT...
think it was just in regards to the iTouch...purplerain does everything you need for it...took like 2 minutes to jailbreak with it (including restarting iTouch)
Please explain why I would want to use Jailbreak if I got an I-touch.
My school pays (actually, out of our tuition, but whatever) for Lexi-comp if we want it for pda's (including i-touch).
What is the advantage?
Well, if your school is paying for it, then no need to jailbreak it for Lexi Comp. Basically, jailbreaking it means that you can download apps for free, that normally other people would pay for. I didn't pay for Lexi Comp but I have the complete thing on my iPod touch now.
But you could still jailbreak it and get free Apps and games.
I'm going to UF in the fall and we are required to buy either the iphone or the ipod touch. I currently have a plan with verizon that my mom pays for since it is a family plan. I love the plan I'm on now and would definitely not look forward to a $100/month cell phone bill. I'm not sure what the difference of functionality for the devices would be in regards to pharmacy school since I'm not exactly sure what I need it for anyway. I'm definitely not any kind of tech savvy so I don't know which way to go. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
LexiComp FTW - There is no other handheld reference that is better - period. MicroMedex comes in a close second - but the full on Lexi cannot be beat. Pair up LexiDrugs, Harrison's Practice, AHFS essentials, and ID and you are SET as far as being an intern is concerned.
I am really wanting to splurge and get a 3GS... Just waiting for the presence of refurbs to jump.
And if you have an iPhone, you have to jailbreak the iPhone before you unlock it to use the iPhone through cellphone providers other than AT&T.
Only AT&T, Cingulair, and T-Mobile will work on a jailbroken iPhone (unless you have a European SIM card). I had an iPod Touch, but decided that a first generation iPhone made more sense. It's only a tad bit slower than the Touch (not even noticeable with Lexi-comp) and you don't have to carry both your phone and the Touch around on rotations. The first generation iphones have the exact specs as the new 3g iphones without the bigger bill (same camera, RAM, capacity, etc). So, if you have either of those mobile carriers I would get an iphone as they are about the same cost or less as the Touch.
For as many apps, games, music, etc as I have (Lexi-comp and all the skyscape apps) I would recommend at least a 16gb. But, if you just want it for rotations 8gb would do fine.
P.S. You don't have to pay for a data plan with a jailbroken iPhone! (uses wifi instead)

I've uploaded the Anki deck. It's called "Top 200".
haha, I downloaded Anki, thinking it was for the ipod touch/iphone. It's just a computer program.
I'll still use it though. Thanks
You still can use it on your Touch/iPhone. There are actually 3 ways you can do this. The first way is to use Safari to get to the Anki online site (http://anki.ichi2.net/account/login). The only problem with this is that the words are tiny on the screen.
The second way is to use iAnki. The instructions are here. http://ichi2.net/anki/wiki/iAnki IMO, I don't think this is the best way. It's sluggish and the syncing process takes some time.
The third way is to jailbreak your Touch/iPhone and install the AnkiMini. It's an app that functions better than iAnki.
So I recommend methods one and two. Good luck.
