PocketTouch Updated to 1.0b. Now Shows You Currently Playing Song/Artist

by Jody Mitoma on March 16, 2008 at 3:13 pm

SkylarEC of the iPod Touch Fans has been providing us with non-stop updates for PocketTouch, and I must admit, things just keep getting better and better.. and quick!

This is one of my most favored applications, because, not only is it easing the battery life on my iPod, but at the same time, it’s giving me quick and easy access to changing the song without having to remove the iPod from my pocket. As if that weren’t enough, it also allows for me to change the volume - which I really wish the iPod Touch had external controls for - without having to hit the home button, then sliding to unlock, and then changing the volume. Keeping in mind that the iPhone and Touch have an accelerometer, give the device a shake, and you’ll be driven to a random song in your library.

“As if that weren’t enough, it also allows for me to change the volume - which I really wish the iPod Touch had external controls for - without having to hit the home button, then sliding to unlock, and then changing the volume.”

You just hit the home key twice and you can adjust the volume slider there. PocketTouch is better and easier, but I just wanted to point out that function.
