1. will I be able to reiview the ko deck with audio and images?
2.Is the i touch the cheapest and best option among the apple family? I'm thinking to get the 8gig since its cheapes..

thanks

1. If you jailbreak it and use anki-mini then I think you can, but not without.
2. The Touch is the cheapest unless you also want a new phone with data plan in which case I think the iPhone itself is cheaper (the phone plan costs a lot).

There are other flashcard apps available so you don't have to jailbreak, but this means you can't use anki. I don't know anything about them though, because I have never used them.

the other apps are all useless, unless you meant ianki, which works without a jailbreak, but it's not as reliable and doesn't support media.

I thought I read one there that the is a Japanese dictionary app that has an SRS repetition deck built into it. Just search through the app store, even if you don't have an ipod. Plus it also shows you what other apps are available for all sorts of things.

I believe that app just let you bookmark edict entries to study. SRS or not, I classify that as useless. It's also proprietary so you're locked into using that app forever.

nothx

The newly released ipod touch 3 gen is over twice as fast as the 2nd gen, however jailbreak is not yet released, but looks imminent. http://appulo.tumblr.com/ I would go with that. I believe the current 8gb ipod touch is a 2g which is why it is quite cheap.

The speed increase isn't really worth worrying about unless you intend on playing games. While I love my iPhone, a touch screen will never be a good gaming interface and virtually everything on the AppStore is complete crap.

Oh, and the ipt3 jailbreak isn't emminent. Appulohail is almost guaranteed to be fake/a joke. Geohot dropped support for ipt3 for now due to tethering problems.

Hmm good call. It was a fake. Looks like getting a 2g ipod or 3gs iphone is the way to go if you want to buy soonish.

Thanks all. Can any one confirm #1?

resolve just told me that yes, it will work with images and audio if jailbroken.

So how do you get your media onto the ipod touch though?

SCP, WebDAV, AFP, SMB, any other protocol you wish to install a server for, special ipod touch mounting utilities, etc.

Personally I use SCP and occasionally AFP.
