• iTouch 3g or 2g, which one do I have
    25 replies, posted
Alright, this sounds really stupid but I still am not sure which one I have. I got my itouch from a friend and didn't get the case or anything, just the itouch, headphones and charger. It's 8GB, model is "MC086NF". I jailbroke it with blackra1n and it is tethered, so everytime I shut down my itouch and turn the power on again, I have to re-jailbreak it. I heard that's only the case with MC models. Also, what's the difference between touch 2g and 3g.
2g
[QUOTE=ExTek;20215456]2g[/QUOTE] If it's tethered it has to be a 3g...
late 2g models are MC
It has to be 2G, there was never an 8 GB 3G. [editline]10:45PM[/editline] Oh, difference is that the 3rd generation has a faster processor and mic support.

There's no real point working it out really because the 8Gig 2G and 3G are pretty much exactly the same.
[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;20235270]There's no real point working it out really because the 8Gig 2G and 3G are pretty much exactly the same.[/QUOTE] The 8 GB '3G' is literally just the 8 GB 2G repackaged. So not 'pretty much,' but literally exactly the same. A pretty ass move on Apple's part.
3g 8gigs are just rebranded 2g's. I dont know if they get voice control. Try holding down the home button.

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;20255417]3g 8gigs are just rebranded 2g's. I dont know if they get voice control. Try holding down the home button.[/QUOTE] The microphone for the voice control are in the headphones that you get with the 3G 32 and 64 gig models so you probably can use voice control on the 8gig models but you need to buy the other headphones first.
You don't have an iTouch anything. It's an iPod Touch.
[QUOTE=^0mKTank;20258957]Rebrand (v) - A change to the brand name, logo, or image of a product or company; to change the brand name, logo, or image of a product or company[/QUOTE] It implies changing the name or image of a product. The 2G 8GB iPod Touch has been renamed and relabeled a 3G 8GB iPod Touch.

The Voice Control is software that the 8GB models don't have. Apple really, really screwed over anyone who was fooled by their renaming of the 8GB line.

Even though it's not a 3G.
[QUOTE=Bengley;20277637]You don't have an iTouch anything. It's an iPod Touch.[/QUOTE] Not true, I want to update to 3.1.3 and try the jailbreak. If things go wrong, I want to go back to 3.1.2 . However, I have to choose the firmware here: [url]http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/[/url] There's an option for 2g itouch and 3g. Mine doesn't have voice control by the way. When I google the model (MC086NF) and put 3g behind it (so 'mc086nf 3g') I get more hits for buying iTouches than when google MC086NF 2g. So I suppose it's a 3G?
The fuck is an iTouch?
[QUOTE=Blarg190;20348166]The fuck is an iTouch?[/QUOTE] Oh shut the fuck up, you know what he meant, don't act like a dumbass just because you prefer to call it an iPod Touch

[QUOTE=postmanX3;20353308]Again, even if it is technically 3G, it's still a 2G on the inside. You'll probably want to download the 2G option.[/QUOTE] It's a fucking 3g, just get the 3g firmware. Even if it isn't, it isn't like it's going to massively fuck up your iPod.
[QUOTE=postmanX3;20238912]The 8 GB '3G' is literally just the 8 GB 2G repackaged. So not 'pretty much,' but literally exactly the same. A pretty ass move on Apple's part.[/QUOTE] proof of this?
[QUOTE=Pixel Heart;20366339]proof of this?[/QUOTE] [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/b47rxh.jpg[/img] Although it occurs to me that the "3G" 8GB will be running on 3.x of the OS, so perhaps you should download the 3G software. [editline]07:08PM[/editline] [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/6tny82.jpg[/img] There's a significant difference between 2G and 3G. Also, notice 3G is not noted as being released in 8GB form.
get 3g. it has a higher number
