[access-uk] Re: Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommend

Hi Carol

You can transfer music from your iTunes library, you can download purchased
or free apps from the App Store, you can listen to radio stations from
around the world, browse dictionaries or listen to birdsong if that's your
thing.  You can write notes and save them.  It's an amazing bit of kit if
you ask me personally, and has exceeded all my expectations.


Kind Regards,

So, if I understand correctly, it doesn't have a phone at all (which I
didn't expect) and you can use it on the net for listening but that's all. 
Maybe the last is not quite correct so please correct me if my understanding
is not quite right.

Thanks.
