Yesterday, during American Idol, Apple released a new iPod Touch Ad. The ad shows many iPod Touches laid out on a table and shows various features. Some iPod Touches are shown up close and hands reach out and grab the iPod Touch with the words "Everybody touch" displayed. View a video of this ad below.

According to Mac Rumors, a reputable Apple News website, the iPod Touch SDK will be released on Thursday, March 6.

We are only 3 weeks away!

The iPod Touch SDK kit will allow developers to integrate Macromedia Flash into the iPod Touch. Games like line rider will be able to be played! Java would work too. We would no longer need to jailbreak iPod Touch firmware releases. Making Applications would be much easier.

iPod Touch firmware 1.1.4 has now been released. I would highly recommend upgrading to this firmware if you own an iPod Touch. Here's why.

Firstly, Audio quality is improved! Yes, you will notice a difference in your music.

Secondly, there are a lot of bug fixes.

And last, but not least, this version prepares you for the SDK applications. Apple modified a lot of files in preperation of the SDK (iPod Touch Software Development Kit) launch. This will allow developers to create applications for the iPod Touch.

Here is the direct download link for iPod Touch 1.1.4 firmware:
- iPod Touch 1.1.4 download
- iPhone 1.1.4 download

Okay, I have received a couple questions concerning the jailbreaking process of the 1.1.4 firmware. NO, right now it is not possible to jailbreak the iPod Touch 1.1.4, and even if you manage to do it, a lot of applications will not work. Fortunately ZiPhone is working on releasing a newer version of their software so that you will be able to jailbreak the new firmware.
