ziphone 2.6

honestly, im not trying to start any arguments.
for what its worth, i would never have found this website (and the forums) if i didnt own a mac.
sometimes people take things the wrong way, or simply misunderstand and it makes the forum environment a threatening place. i don't often post because of this.
im waiting to jailbreak my 16gb ipod with ziphone 2.6 on a mac. anyone waiting with me is welcome to share their thoughts.
also, the ipod is an apple product.
Until someone could verify that it works on Week 38 16GB iPods (the ones that supposedly have (2) 8GB drives), I'm avoiding it.
not working
i have an 8gb iTouch. I have tried the new Ziphone 2.6 4 times and nothing is working. I keep having to restore. It is too annoying.
Whatever happened to that one website where you go to it on your iTouch and it does all the work for you.
And Jailbreaking for Mac should be top priority. Kids on their parents Vista should not get to Jailbreak before me.
Anyway, thanks all for all your hard work - much appreciated!

I have a 16 GB iPod Touch which I tirelessly tried to jailbreak using Ziphone 2.5. I own an older PC running Windows XP as well as a MacBook Pro that I got a few weeks ago. I tried on the mac and on the PC with the multiple clicking method. After no success, I restored with the 1.1.4 firmware and paid for the iPhone apps.
Today I saw that Ziphone 2.6 was released, so I decided to give it a shot. I used my MacBook Pro to do the jailbreak. It worked absolutely flawlessly, and it even retained all of my songs, videos, settings and the iPhone apps.
I'm not 100% positive, but I believe I have the older model of the 16 GB with the 2 8 GB drives. I bought the touch last November I think. For those of you who are not having success with this method, this may seem like an obvious question, but did you make sure to use the "Jailbreak iTouch" option and not simply the "Jailbreak" option? Go back and have another look, and maybe that will solve your problems.

Ziphone 2.6 is a complete success! It worked in about 30 second for my week 45 16 g Touch. Nearly every app works also. At last a real jailbreak for the mac and 16 g Touches!
