Charge your iPod touch without a computer!

One of the frustrations with the iPod touch is that it doesn't come with a wall charger. Out of the box you can only charge it from the usb port on your computer. Which is a pain.

Now you can buy an expensive charger from Apple that allows you to charge in a socket: Apple USB Power Adapter

However..

If you have already owned a 3G or earlier iPod you can charge using FIREWIRE! Have a look in your cupboard... you should have these:

Together, they allow you to charge your iPod Touch without a computer! And for no extra expense!

Now don't get too excited.. syncing by firewire doesn't work :( Apple removed that functionality, but charging still works!

Touchpad.app: Use your iPhone/Ipod Touch as a wireless touchpad!

Use your iPhone/iPod Touch as a wireless touchpad mouse! You can click, double-click, drag, scroll AND type with it! You need a "jailbroken" iPhone/iPod Touch. (Don't know what that is? Try http://ww.ipodtouchfans.com for the heads up!)

Works on PC, Mac and Linux.

How to install Touchpad.app for Mac Users:

* Install the app on you ipod touch. (add this source to installer.app "http://cnp.qlnk.net/" then look under utilities)
* To allow control over your screen got to System prefs > Sharing.
* Turn on "Screen Sharing" (or "Apple Remote Desktop" on older Macs); the Mac will tell you a management IP address, you'll need this later.
* Turn on VNC viewer controls in the settings box, and give it a password. (So you don't leave your mac open)
* Go to the app in your ipod and click the + inside the app to add a vnc service.
* give your service a name "Macbook" for example
* Enter the IP address and password from earlier
* Save and click on the service to control your mac!

You may wonder how you scroll... the far right hand side of the ipod screen is used for this!

Try it its great!
