Hi Carol
With the iPod Touch, as long as you put your broadband security key in, you
will be able to treat it like a PC online, where you can download material
and browse the Internet. What you can't obviously do is make calls etc,
because the phone part is not included. But, as I've said several times,
the phone isn't the bit I want as I am happy with the handsets and Talks I
use. I just love the iPod Touch for the applications it can work with. At
the moment, for example, I have put my device through a set of Bose
speakers, and am listening to Five Live Sports Extra so I can hear the
tennis. Quality is very good and no drop-out or stuttering.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
I never realised you could do so much with the Ipod Touch. I hadn't thought
about it going online, though I should, knowing that Apples stuff works with
ITunes, and I certainly hadn't thought about it being able to run these
other apps.
Very interesting, for sure!
So, does anyone know if all apps work across the board on their equipment?
Just interested in how things work. ...
