Hi! I am going to purchase an iPod Touch 4th Generation in a few days, and I am adamant on protecting it as soon as I get it. I have been looking at a few cases, and have narrowed it down to my two favourites; the Switcheasy Rebel and the Speck Candyshell (both in white).
I have currently heard nothing bad about the Rebel, though I am not 100% keen on the back (but I am growing to like it more). I am also concerned about the bottom, does it become saggy like the iPhone 3G/S version did?
I have heard that the iPhone 4 version of the Candyshell develops an 'eraser' effect where the rubber 'bezel' can peel off. However, I do not know if this happens on the iPod Touch version (the white moonshine one).
If anyone has these cases I would be very grateful if you could provide some feedback as I do not want to spend �20 unless I am sure that it is what I want.
Also, if anyone has any other cases that they recommend more than these two, please can you share your thoughts on them? (Not the Otterbox cases please, I really dislike those!)
Thanks in advance! :)
EDIT: Screen protectors and other accessories do not matter to me, as I already have a Power Support matte screen protector for the 2G iPod that I shall drill a circular hole in for the camera! (hopefully that works!) ;)
From my experience, screen shields won't work. The 2G iPod touch has a slightly wider display, so as a result by using these screen shields on the 4G iPod touch, there will be some excess on the sides. You can try for yourself if you like.

When I was where your at now, someone told me to register a domain name from other than your web host. The reason they gave is that they won't have control over your domain name or do any monkey business with it. Not saying that's true or false, but that's what I was told once.
Also what would happen if you did register your domain name with your webhost but then later decided to change host. Could you point that domain to other host like you can at GoDaddy? Or are you stuck with that webhost?
For ASO, they don't mess with the domain, and after (I think) 60 days you can have it transferred to a different registrar if you want to change web hosts, or you simply don't want ASO to have it. I'm unsure about the policy for other hosting companies.
ASO might make the most sense because they're one of the easiest hosts to work with. No joke: I've had problems that I've labeled as urgent and sent to them through the support system and they've responded within ten minutes. Talk about service.
Anyway, there's plenty of other great hosts out there, and you'll want to look for one with PHP and MySQL, CPanel, and a good ratio between storage and bandwidth.
There's threads about payments, and it really depends on the amount of work they do: graphics, code, backend content system, etc. Hope things start falling into place for you. :)

I'll be there, if I'm not working that day! Do you have to pre-order on the 10th to have any hope of getting one on launch day in store, or is there a chance of getting one on the day?

Hi there!
Can you please post some links to sites where TFT displays are reviewed. As I'm buying a G5, I need a display and therefore want some information.
Thanks!

Got this about a month ago but used just for a couple hours. I just prefer my revolution.
Comes with box and everything for $42.00 shipped CONUS. The little baggy and batteries are still sealed.
I have had transactions here, on ebay and on head-fi if you are wondering. I can post pics in a bit.
Will send PM.

Those games were awesome. :)
Best of all Camelot are supposedly working on either an unnamed Wii or DS (forgot which) RPG. Music was perfect, game design was simple but had hidden depth with them Djinn things. My stomach went all tingly when you go to Knox and see the physical "end of the world".

Week 1: Read Python; familiarize self with scripting language semantics/syntax
Week 2-4: Learn PHP; obviously begin with what you learned from Python and build from there. Start to look at object-oriented PHP materials.
Week 5: Begin SQL query writing; queries aren't so difficult if you know your PHP material well. The better at coding you are, the better your query writing will be.
Eventually, you'll want to get into content management systems and MVC frameworks - this, outside of object oriented programming, is the biggest mountain to climb, but it is well worth it in the long run as all of your hard work will pay off. These two things will take a long time to learn so don't fret if you don't understand it all from the very beginning.
Also, like someone else said, make sure your design is consistent across different browsers. Since you are learning, you're probably looking at a lot of divs and what not. Divs are nifty, but browsers don't agree with them 90% of the time. This means grabbing a copy of Windows, downloading Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, and 9 to make sure everything looks correct. This is one of every designer/developers biggest complaints and why Internet Explorer is hated beyond words.
I don't really think that you need Python, it's nice to have another language but to be honest learning another language at an early stage can cause confusion and besides good PHP tutorials should teach you everything you need.
I picked up "PHP with MySQL Essential Training (http://www.lynda.com/PHP-tutorials/php-with-mysql-essential-training/435-2.html)' from lynda.com and found them an extremely useful starting point they begin with the raw basics and have you build a super simple CMS, you may have to go through the videos a couple of times to understand it but its well worth the effort.
As for making your sites cross-browser... yes you should make sure that everything works in at least IE7, but IE6 is old and complies with so few standards that even youtube doesn't support it any more. Unless you'll be want to develop enterprise level sites then you can really just leave it alone.

If you want those pesky lights gone, you can go to North Korea. There is a pic similar to these that shows Asia at night. North Korea is virtually dark while South Korea and Japan are pretty much totally lit up.

$40 ground shipping isn't so bad compared to the majority that are charging $50. ;)
yes, i will ship for $25 ground to any MR member if they win the auction.

The main question is usually whether new iTunes versions are compatible with the various jailbreaking processes. For example the Spirit jailbreak could not be done if your iTunes was later than a certain version (9.1 I think). I don't remember hearing about iTunes messing up an already jailbroken iDevice.

I have the Incipio Feather in 'Sherbet' and it looks great, for more protection you might like the NGP in the same color.
