Do you mean you connected your ipod via your home network and then went
on line?
Does the touch have full internet connectivity then? -

Subject: [access-uk] Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommend
My 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.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
