For those of you that own an Ipod Touch, please tell me if you think it is worth it... my wife may give me one for chirstmas, but i am not sure it does what I want... I have an ipod nano and the ipod shuffle. When they say the touch can do WiFi does this mean I can surf the net with it... like lets say go to E S P N .com and see the site, maybe go to the boards, etc. I know I cant check email with it, but what can you do on the net with it... that is the selling point to me and since I dont want the Iphone, is the itouch worth it beyond the music features... I could care less about DL music to it... I have my own cds I add to the ipods I have and very rarley dl any music... so if anyone has the touch, please let me know something about it... thanks....

So I can come to this site and access these forums with it?? My cell phone has net access but it is very limited with what it can show and do... yes I can get scores and weather and such, but I cant see or view a site like this.... would the itouch let me do that??? does anyone have one and can verify?

Thanks again for the help....

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't count on the iPod Touch to be much good for surfing anyways.

sites like gs aren't very fast on the touch, considering all the ads and pictures (OR IT COULD BE just my internet)

It has the full Safari internet browser. It's fun to play with for a couple days, but then the novelty of it wears off. I bought one and returned it about a month later. In my opinion it would only be worth it if it were a lot cheaper.

I just lied actually. It really isn't worth it at all. The more I think about it, the more pointless it is. Unless you're in a hotspot like Starbucks or something.

So when you say full safari (dont know what that is) could you use it to come here and post a message or is that too much for it to do?? I am just trying to get a feel for how the internet works on it... and if the screen moves as smooth as it shows on tv? Thanks again to all who are posting and answering these questions...

It is as full as the browser you're using now (you can't watch videos though, unless on youtube). Safari is like internet explorer for Mac. The pages are quite smooth which is good, but the overall Touch just isn't worth it, in my opinion.

I never understood the appeal of an iPod Touch when you can just get the iPhone.

So I could come here or any web site (espn) and post in the forums using it???

Yes sir. As I said before, it is as full as the browser you're using now, minus videos from anyother site than Youtube.

Not unless you can get a "Good" deal on one.
