Ipod touch

I just got one and am trying to figure how to get movies onto it. Is there another way other than the itunes store? I can't seem to rip a dvd oto it, maybe downloadable files could work, but the only movie sites I know of are streaming only.
-------------------- And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

Why would you get one of those, it's just an iPhone without the phone...
I would have spent more and just got the iPhone

i can answer everything you want to know about the ipod touch.
to get movies i recommend the ImTOO iPhone Video Converter http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3807735/ImTOO.iPhone.Video.Converter.v3.1.40.0824b.Incl.Keygen-BLiZZARD
just use that to convert the movies that you've downloaded to ipod touch/iphone format and add them through itunes..
and JAILBREAK YOUR IPOD! http://www.youtube.com/user/ipodtouchmaster
there's everything you need to know on how to jailbreak it.
download movies from the same torrent site that i gave you up there..
and i say FUCK the iphone.. i already got a phone.. the ipod touch is way better.. at least in my situation.

well it doesn't get edge service.. but it does get wifi..
and i already have a camera phone...
it's not really an upgrade from the phone i have right now.
plus, when you jailbreak your ipod, it can do everything the iphone can do except take pictures and use EDGE service.. you can make VoIP calls if you buy a mic for it, but not really interested in that.. i got all the iphone programs and everything free.. just jailbreak it!
i wanted something that was purely entertainment.. my phone is mostly business even though it has itunes and internet and all that stuff on it..

that torrent site pulls up limewire when I try to download anything, but it's incredibly slow, any other options?

iPod touch is shit, I'd much rather spend $50 less and get an extra 128gb of music.

that's your opinion..
i dont need more than 8 gigs.. i have over 30 gigs on my computer but i just manage what i will actually listen to and it's very easy to fit it on my ipod.. they are coming out with ones with more space, but i wouldn't get them anyways.. never needed more than 4 gigs on my nano and with 8 on my touch i have a tough time filling it up..
my music is very organized and it's very easy to add music.. i dont see how someone could keep 160 gigs organized.. or why anyone would even need that much space..
it can do everything yours can do and more.. just currently has less drive space... i can play NES/GBA/PSX games on my ipod if i so desired.. custom skinnable interface via summerboard.. it can do lots of shit..
so what i think you meant to say is:
Quote:

i see where you're coming from.. if you are looking at full practicality and all you want to do is play music, maybe even videos and you dont care about screen size then of course the other ipod would be the obvious choice..

do you have to pay for internet service for ipod touch or is just wifi that you can pick up wherever available for free?
I want to get one only when they make the storage space wayyy larger
I need at least 30 gigs

wifi..
only problem with it (and the iphone) is that it wont currently do WPA-enterprise authentication which is what my school has..
so i can only use it at certain places at my school instead of all over..
it's pretty rare though..
and they just came out with a 32 gig ipod touch..

iPod touch has no space, this is true.
How you could only need 8gb is beyond me, I also use it as an external hard drive and many other do also I'm sure.
Factor in a big music collection, photos, music videos, movies kept on the hard drive maybe an average of 700MB each (not to watch on the ipod, pretty retarded, but to hook up to computer and watch full screen), I got whole seasons of TV shows....
It's great because I have more space on my computer.
I suppose you could just go buy an external hard drive, but as far as functionality goes an ipod like the classic 80GB is great. Great external hard drive + it functions as an MP3 player & video player.

i got a 2 gig flash drive so i dont have to carry the ipod cord around with me..
yes and when you convert 700 mb movies then turn into 150-200 mb when in ipod format..
at least the ones i have do..
and i just keep albums on my ipod and usually make new mixes each semester.. so i'll just cycle through albums that i listen to.. adding new ones and taking old ones off..
i usually dont even keep it anywhere near filled up (especially with the 8 gigs) and that's with videos and 1 gig of pictures and jailbroken apps..

I don't convert the movies to mp4, I won't watch an hour and half movie on a 1 inch by 1 inch screen (for my 80 gig, I know the touch screen is bigger but still what's the point)
I keep it all behind the scenes, click and drag full movies into the E: drive (otherwise known as my ipod), kept in avi format or the like. Then I hook up my ipod and there you go....I got a whole library of good quality movies I can click and watch.
converting to mp4 doesn't cut down on space that much actually thats an exaggeration, plus sometimes videos lose sound quality, video quality, or even get their audio screwed up (like voices not matching lips) during the conversion. I like to not mess with them and just keep them the way I downloaded them, nice and perfect ripped straight from the DVD 
Its alright to use PSPware to convert music videos or something, I keep music videos on my ipod cuz they're like fairly short and I might actually watch them even on the small screen. But for movies its pointless (for me at least)

i've had a mini, or a nano..
i dont need a huge hard drive..
sure it would be nice to have more space to be able to take videos and stuff everywhere but i dont need to do that.. people come here to watch videos..
i can put at least 2 movies on my 2gig flash drive and i dont see a situation where i would need more..
we just have different needs in an ipod and that's why you got the classic and i got the touch.. they both have pro's and con's.. either way we're both happy and that's what matters.
