I simply googled 3.0 for ipod touch and downloaded it free.

Anyways yes it is worth the upgrade on the gen 1 touch simply just for spotlight search. Its immensely helpful when finding a song you know the name of but can't remember the artist etc...no more scrolling through thousands...

Also copy paste is pretty neat, landscape keyboard across apps, you can view comments and reviews both in itunes and youtube. I think you can leave comments as well from the ipod touch.

Its worth it, but I refuse to pay after i paid 20 bucks for that bloody software bundle and 10 bucks for 2.0 etc. Especially since a lot my apps no longer worked well under 2.0.

To get back on track I just got the new s/w thru iTunes and it is worth it. I like that I no longer have to open an app to get my WiFi to connect.

What do you mean? It doesn't connect when you turn it on under settings?

I have a 1st gen touch that I haven't been using since I got my iPhone. I gave it to my wife and today she upgraded from 1.1.5 -> 3.0. No problem. However, every app that I install from itunes will not run. Splash screens start but the apps quit. I've tried 4 different ones. Anyone else see this or have ideas? Right now I am erasing/resetting the entire touch and going to re-synch everything.

Maybe the apps haven't been updated to work with 3.0 yet.

I did it and it wasnt worth it. It didnt really improve the experience any. If you have a 8gb dont do it. Im waiting for the next gen. of ipod touch. Im not impressed with the external speaker and audio control.

Greetings, other 1G owners on-the-edge,

Did you see any speed DROPS after installing 3.0? I have heard rumors (what this site is based around!) that since we have the slowest processor in the touch-device family, 3.0 will actually knock functionality down.

Also, I've heard (in the very prominent bugs thread in this same forum) that the wireless drops constantly and sometimes doesn't even connect - or even breaks the wireless controller's driver so that it doesn't even show up as having a network card!

The problem is that there are no reviews in the WWW that officially describe people in our particular device category (are there?) so we're all kind of stumbling about in the dark.

I have an ipod touch 1st gen tried updating to 3.0 and it crashed. I called support and they said it wasn't compatible with 1st gen. I have to send my ipod in and they are going to replace it.

I haven't seen any speed drops after installing 3.0 nor wireless drops in places where I get strong signal. However, the wifi signal does seem weaker in 3.0. Before upgrading I was able to get 1 bar when I was sitting next to the pool, and now Im unable to connect. Another problem that I have encountered is that my battery seems to drain much faster. However, my ipod touch 2g does not seem to have the battery problem, so maybe a restore will fix my battery problems.

I have an issue on my 1g touch with 3.0

Before if you hit the home button twice you would get a dialog box that would let you change the volume. Now it just says "dock connector" where the volume slider used to be. Help?

Edit: nevermind. Figured it out. It was because my headphones weren't connected.

I'm curious if anyone sees any lag when going to the search screen on the 1G. It gets a little choppy each time I swipe to the left, and I'm wondering if it's just mine. Other than that, I'm pretty happy.
