If I understand, the laptop is connected via some sort of 3G network (not WIFI or local ethernet). Does he plan on using the TOUCH with only local music files (i.e., NOT any internet radio, pandora, etc.)? I'm not aware of any way to get the firmware on indirectly (I'm sure there is some highly technical way, via ssh'ing in to the TOUCH and changing certain files, but this would not be very straightforward for most folks).
I suspect the best way to get the firmware installed is to take the touch to someone's house that does have WIFI, and setup the touch initially to use that WIFI network. then the firmware will install, etc. Then the TOUCH can be setup at the owner's location with an attached USB drive. But again, without the ability to access the internet and/or be attached to a local network, I'm not sure why the TOUCH was a good answer for this person. A large capacity ipod attached to his stereo would be simpler! -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80279 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
