ipod touch

[BlissfulJumper (Premo)]

I'm getting ready to purchase an apple ipod touch( the newest one) and I was curious about the Wi Fi internet. How does it work exactly? Do I have to be near a receiver for it to work or can it work anywhere an everywhere kind of like the verizon wireless cards?
TIA

It only works in the vicinity of a wireless router hooked to a internet access point. It does not do cellular as The Verizon Wireless cards do.

I just bought 1 Touch (Gen 2) 2 Touches (Gen 1) and a Nano and the little Shuffle. All three of the Touches do Wi-Fi intenet.

BTW. The GEN 2 has a 32 GHz. memory and a built in speaker. SWEETTTTT!!!

So the Gen 2 is the best bang for my buck and I won't be able to play on the internet during school. How do I know if I'll be connected to the internet?

I don't know if it is the best bang for you buck or not. It's not as cheap as the ones available at Best Buy which are all Generation 1 Touches.

For accessing the internet you will have to pick from the available wireless access points. If they are passworded you will need that to.

okay. Much easier to understand now. Apple people can be a little confusing. The Best Buy in California didn't have the gen 2? Do you know if they will be getting some anytime soon.

Apple® - iPod® touch 32GB* MP3 Player (2nd Generation) - Black - MB533LL/A

BTW.. It even has a Built in Speaker. I thought that was slick..

I can't even find the speaker on it. It's not too load but easily hearable for one person.

That is pretty nice to have! I wonder if Best Buy will give me a redemption code for the item I'm returning. I planned on exchanging a Zune player for an Ipod touch and paying the difference. Maybe they will have some tomorrow if not I can figure something out because they seem very nice and the Zune was not for me!

I actually bought a regular MP3 Player first. The next day tool it back and exchanged for a credit toward an Ipod.

But it was still in the unopened package so i dunno.


Once I figured out my LG Dare did MP3s I decided to go with IPODS for the music that I intend to buy and Rhapsody just to download mass quantities of music to figure out what songs I want to keep. Once done I buy those form Itunes
