Okay everyone, since so many people were asking me how exactly I had done this I thought I would share it with you.
First off, a little explanation. Yes, I am already in fact running iOS 4 on my second generation iPod Touch. I like it. It’s cool. Folders are a huge plus. However, we shall save all that chit-chat for some episode of Byte Sized soon. The first point I really want to adress is how extacly it is possible that this is out pre-release date. To tell you the truth, that’s actually simple enough to explain. You see, before Apple releases something to the world, they create a version called the “Golden Master”. (Come on, let’s here your Ooooooos and Aaaahhhhhs). They then publish this to the elite group of developers to test one more final time before releasing in to the rest of the world. Some developers decide to do that job a little early. Is it stealing? No. Is it what Apple wanted to happen? Probably not. Is it what Apple expected to happen? You bet. They like this publicity.
Second note, use this at your own risk. I’m not going to go on explaining all the details about what does, and what doesn’t work here. Nor am I going to explain how to actually install it. That all has already been done on the site I am about to link to. All else that I wanted to say is this – just be careful. Make sure you downloaded the right version for your particular device, and just know that this is a pre-release. Not EVERYTHING is live yet, and it could, in theory have bugs, but more importantly, just know that what you are installing is nothing final, and while it is highly unlikely at this point, something bad COULD in theory happen.
Now that you know all that, may job here is done. I can now turn you over to the very capable hands of GumBallTech who shall guide you through the installation process over here.
