Well, here I am still...The picture above is not a fake.It's not even a major breakthru but it's something.I am glad to tell you anyhow that 2.0firmware works pretty well on my iPod 32gb.All features are enabled.To install it from windows (or mac) you needa special beta version of itunes.Unless you want to loose installerand all third party apps I strongly suggest youNOT TO UPGRADE (both iPod both iPhone).To downgrade the iPod you will needto uninstall iTunes 7.7 and reinstall 7.5.Then you will need to put the iPod in DFU modeand do a full restore back to 1.1.4 (and use ZiPhone)to have back Installer and all goodies.With the iPhone it's more complicatedbecause you will also need todowngrade the baseband.I already have a very preliminary versionof the new ZiPhone which will allow that.
As of today you will have 2 choices:1) Believe in the community and don't upgrade to 2.02) Say goodbye to Installer and freedom and upgrade.
Stay tuned :)Zibri

The proliferation of solar panels has got people thinking about them in novel ways. With that in mind, Treehugger has put together a slideshow of 13 great solar concepts inspired by plants. I'm partial to the ones by Toyota appearing in major U.S. cities to promote the Prius. Which one would you most like to see on your lawn?
