Pretty much yeah
It's really easy and if there are any unlikely problems you can simply restore the firmware thru itunes with no harm

I just got an ipod touch for mother's day. DS couldn't wait to give it to me because he wanted to play with it.

Gratz!!

Using an app called WDW Dining... Pretty good for $1. Its all the menus... Yes I know they are online, but its so much faster than surfing the web and touch users have to depend on Wifi... I don't know of Wifi in the parks.

Either way... I recommend it highly. GOod stuff.

I guess the easiest way to explain is it's like 'hacking' it - letting you do all sorts of stuff apple won't let you do like theme it (check out my screen shots in this thread) as well as stuff like video recording and mms messages. Also allows you to procur paid apps at erm, a cheaper price so to speak

Oooooohhh...... I can't believe I didn't know this!!! I've had my iPhone since Oct & LOVE it!!! Now I'm going to have to figure out how to break it ....

DH & I will be back over the wknd to read this ENTIRE thread ...... for some reason, the whole family thinks my phone is the "family toy"!!

Update to the Kindle app:

Should make buying books a whole lot easier!

Hmm, so I wonder how the $10 cheaper plan would work for current iPhone users? Would you have to go in and get the contract readjusted?

I've added a lot of the apps suggested here..thanks so much! I just got my iPhone on Sunday.

I am having a hard time finding the Disney maps though..is this found in the apps store? What's the name? Everytime I do a search I come up empty handed. I did a google search as well and all I found was a Maps bundle developed by Upinpoint, but I couldn't find anything in the app store.

Thanks for the help...

 

[starwood]

Try searching under wdw.

Just got Peggle - wow its good

If you search "Magic Kingdom" all the maps will show up. Also you are looking to buy maps for all the park there is a bundle that also includes DTD or BB. It will save you a few bucks.

I haven't found them either! I searched every app last evening! Arrrgh!

 

[UnionJack]

I can't find the maps anymore either. I know I've seen them, but they seem to have disappeared. They were made by a company called Upinpoint. Does anyone know what happened to them?

 

[luke]

Yep, the maps don't appear on the UK App Store anymore either.

Just downloaded them through "other means" but it's odd that they've disappeared??

 

[Leger13]

Try their web site. I think it gives the iTunes link

http://www.upinpoint.com/

 

[Leger13]

Well, I just tried from their web site and the links do nothing. So weird! I just bought the maps box set a couple days ago and everything was fine. I wonder what happened.

I guess they could be updating the App? Odd that it's been taken offline in the meantime tho. The one i just downloaded works ok so that's good at least

yeah....maybe that's what they're doing. Glad you got your maps before it disappeared. I'm about to email the company and find out what the heck is going on. I hope they're not disappearing for good because I want them to update these applications as the parks update. And my maps crash sometimes so it'd be nice if they fixed that too. I'll post here if I hear anything back from the company.

They could be adding the few maps they don't have? Or adding GPS functionality (does it have it already?)?

I didn't get them from the App Store

Maybe I just sent an email begging them to tell me what's going on so I can update y'all And there is GPS already from what I understand. My DH tried out that function while we were at home and the application got so confused and said "it looks like you are not in the parks at this time" I'll get to try the GPS out better next weekend when we're at MGM for SWW.

oooooo cheater. I'm curious now as to how you got them. Was someone you know nice enough to share?
