When you say "don't work so well..." Is there any sat nav software on the Touch? Could it be used with an external receiver? And if the touch only has wi-fi connectivity, then if there is satnav onboard, how much use could it be anyway, really. -

Hi Carol.The only things that don't work so well on the touch are GPS applications as the touch doesn't have a built in gps receiver or compass, nor do any applications that rely on phone functions to work. Everything else should work fine though, though remember that you can only use WiFi on the touch to get online.All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 3:46 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendJackie,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. ...-- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 10:21 AM Subject: [access-uk] Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommendMy Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it with my iPod Touch was extremely straightforward. So I decided to visit the App Store and, for 59p each, I bought four applications that work with VoiceOver. They are the World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and thesaurus, Tune In Radio and, probably my favourite, Birds of Britain. The latter is an amazing little program if you love bird sound and details. Not only can you play the song, but you can listen to VoiceOver provide a description of their size, colour, family, time of year etc. There is also a favourites button to use where you can add a library of your favourite birds to it. Tune In Radio is great. Similarly, there is a bookmark facility where you can make a list of the stations you wish to add. Because I love tennis, and the Australian Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty getting it on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal in these parts. So when I tuned in using the Sonata at 8.00 this morning, a message said that restricted rights prevented coverage. I find this often happens at weekends when football matches are in progress too. So I tuned my iPod to Sports Extra and, low and behold, got the tennis on live. All the above apps work with VoiceOver. I don't use my keyboard for everything, mainly when I get into tricky areas that need a bit of typing. Mostly, I use my fingers and have got used to doing so now. Just thought I'd pass on the info.
