iPod touch Touch newbie questions

[jbrown]

Just got the 16gig IPT - and think it's a great piece of kit - but one or two questions.

In the box was a cheap looking white plastic thing, which I'm trying to make sense of as some sort of dock - how does it work/go together.

I find the volume a tad on the quiet side - anyway of upping it above the indicated max?

Any way to link it to my computer via wireless ( much as you do your phone via bluetooth )

I'd ( along with everyone I guess ) would love some more apps - are there any out there? emailer, text editor, simple picture enhancer etc spring to mind.


cheers all

no, that would be a ZUNE,

no, that would be a PDA

PS. I would really like apple to make these two available tho.

THe white plastic object is the dock adapter.
It is supposed to be placed in a dock, such as an iHome, so the iPod Touch will fit perfectly.

No way to up max volume presently, unlike the other iPods. May come in the future. As a fix for now: New headphones?

No hacking has been accomplished on the iPod touch...
Web-based apps are the best youre going to get right now.

Up the volume... are you kidding me. You people!

I was on the bus yesterday and I had my music at a reasonable level. Guy sits down next to me and I could hear his music better than my own. How is that pleasurable?

Yeah right! I always wondered what that thing did

some people have been playing their iPods at max for the last 5 years and now have the hearing capability of an eighty year old

once again proving Darwin was wrong

Yes.
Unless your dock is reallly old.
What dock do you have?

None at the moment - how far back can I go in terms of iPod models and still get a suitable dock? - I could get one off Ebay
