Re: How does an ipod connect to the internet?

Thanks.  I'm not understanding on why she HAS to have this when she
already has a DS and her music player, but the thought of dropping that
data plan is appealing.

Its an iPhone without the phone or the data plan, no GPS and can only
be on the internet when hooked up to wifi. 98% of the apps can be used
on the iPod Touch. Many can work offline. There are apps that enable
text messaging on the device including Google Voice, Text+, and the
built-in Messages app (to other iOS5 iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
devices).

Both of my kids have an iPod Touch and it is a good distraction on
long car trips. Though the "how do you do this" questions get annoying
to my wife (kids are 4 and 7). We tell them to figure it out. Only way
to learn. :-)

Unless you have access to wifi then you can get internet access?

My daughter is willing to give up her Blackberry, which we bought used

and

has a crappy mike (making us cautious of internet purchases of used
equipment).  We will replace that with a cell phone that basically has
calls and good texting capabilities.  Dropping that data plan should pay
for the ipod in no less than 5 months.
