[iPod Touch] 1.2.0 Beta

After itching to try out the iPod Touch 1.2 beta (build 5A225c), I finally got a copy of the firmware off BitTorrent (link down further), and well, you’re not really missing out on much if you’re still using v1.1.4. I actually downgraded again today.

The only thing that’s worth upgrading for is the new Calculator - gone are the funny looking circle buttions, in favour of the cool new rectangle look. Even cooler is the fact that if you turn your iPod Touch on the side, it goes all scientific on you, with way more functions and such. Cool!

The other change that I could see is a new layout for the settings menu, with ‘Mail, Calendar & Contacts’ menu now meshed together.

Also - it’s missing the new App Store, alongside the old iTunes Music store.

So, as it goes, you really arent missing out on much !
Another reason for staying on 1.1.4 is the lack of apps - 1.2 changed most (if not all) of it’s frameworks, so current apps won’t work, including Installer.

If you’re really dying to be infront of everyone - make sure that you’ve already got Pwnage, and then you can find the iPhone & iPod Touch 1.2.0 IPSW file here
