    "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch. This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability."

    Im trying to purchase Eden - World Builder and I keep on getting this error message. I have a 3rd gen, 8gig iPod Touch.

    In the app description it says "Requires minimum of iOS 3.2" and also "Eden is optimized for: iPod Touch 3rd generation and new, iPhone 3GS and newer".

    So I am confused why I can not download this app even tho the description says it is optimized for my device I keep on getting this error message.

    Because iPod Touch 3rd Gen 8GBs arent actually 3rd Gen

    They have the same hardware as a 2G

    That's a big goof by Apple. I'd be right pissed if I found that out after I owned it.

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    Trust me, I was. I thought I got a 3rd Gen iPod Touch last year, and when I found out it was only a 2G after trying to play N64 on it I almost threw it out the window.

    I have been trying to get the same exact app, and I have a 2nd gen ipod with 4iOS software on it, and have gone through heaven and hell trying to get the dang thing on my ipod, I went so far as to jailbreak it and install cydia and the "free apps from apple store app" (not actually called that, but is blurred out on here) to get the app, but I tried every link but in the end it simply wouldnt install. my overall conclusion is that you definately need ATLEAST an ipod 3rd gen 16 GB or better, along with iOS 3.2 or better, and I have no such luck... I have even been searching the net trying to find a way to upgrade the OpenGL manually, but there really is no way to do this (not with my ipod anyway), so for better words, we need a newer ipod, or we can wait til the new minecrafted app comes back to the store (after its little mishap and removal), which shouldnt be too long I wouldnt think, but it is all we can really do. unless of course, we get the same dang problem with that app when it is released too, in which case Im gonna snap my ipod in half because I bought it so I COULD play those cool apps... and listen to music. All in all, we are SOL, sorry.

    Only true 3rd gens are the 32gb and the 64gb they are the only versions with newer ARM A8 CPU and Power VR SGX GPU.

    I personally think it's very deceptive of apple to sell 2nd gens letting people believe they are 3rds I never knew this myself until I'd bought mine luckily enough I bought the 64gb through pure fluke.

    People really paying the price for this are the developers having to cope with an awful lot of people who really believe they have 3rd gens. Apple should really clarify this more on the app store to stop people wasting their money.
