iPod Touch has a 4.0 update as well when synced to iTunes...I gather it is time-consuming (and that's putting it nicely), probably because everyone else is trying to do the same.

nah, it is available for the ipod touch, just the newer 2nd and 3rd gen models. there have been many problems with the backing up of the ipod before the update though (google ios4 back up problem). I have this problem and trying to download a fix from....here

My iPod touch doesn't seem to offer it. I'm on v3.1.3, but it says that is the most recent version.

If your ipod touch is a first generation, then you cant get the update as the processing power of it can't handle the iOS4. If you ipod has volume controls on the side then it will be the 2nd generation, meaning that if you check for a manual update again on iTunes it should work. :money:But, I have tried and haven't got it to work as of yet due to the backup problem many people are having.:mad:

Yep - it's a 1st gen then; I guess I'm obsolete.
I'm not sure about the processing power thing, or whether it's just product positioning, but that's Apple for you!
I updated my iPhone 3GS though.

you need itunes 9.2 (the latest) in order to download ios4.

for faster backup, right click on idevice in itunes, reset warnings. right click again, and click backup, when the message box comes up:
"your ipod contains diagnostic infomration…"
click "don't send", and unselect the do not ask again button.
the reason its slow its because everyone is upgrading the new ios4, backing up their idevices and uploading all their error reports, straining the error report servers.

well my ipod is officially broken after trying a different technique to update! (used this) Its mainly because my computer is windows 7 and doesnt have the drivers . For ipod touch 2nd gen, I hear that it doesnt come with multi-tasking anyway! Might as well try to fix my ipod and then jailbreak....:D
