Well i just got a new 2G edition itouch because idk i saw the commercials and was brainwashed by the ability the ipod had to access the internet "the actual internet" and how you could do all this amazing stuff through it.. and well honestly i havent eben able to use the wi5 yet.. why?? theres no wi5 around me at all.. nowhere.. and i live in southwest california... which makes me wonder about the people who live in the middle of nowhere and thought the same as me.. but yea, its pretty much pointless for the ipod to have all this feautures i mean.. truly the only way i could use it is if i pay and set up a wi5 thing in my house, which is pointless i mean i have a computer.. and the itouch is nowhere near a laptop so yea. waste of money if you ask me

=/

Question? did you read the requirements on the box? Rule number 1, always read the box

Do you know what Wi-Fi is? Do you realize that unless you're near a wi-fi hotspot or have your own wireless network at your home that is how you access the internet wirelessly.

If you wanted access to the internet 24/7 you should have bought the iphone.

First of all its Wi-Fi not wi5. And secondly do you think a laptop is a waste of money because you can't connect to the internet with a wi-fi connection? What do you think the internet is just magically everywhere? If you are connected to the internet to be posting this post right now then you are already paying for the internet, all you need to get it working is a wireless router, which you can get for less than you payed for your ipod touch. The wireless router broadcasts the signal for your internet allowing devices that are wirelessly enabled to connect to the internet without being directly connected to your router.*

Well, you cant exect to just use other people wi-fi hotspot, its their internet access, they pay for bandwidth, and its not good to try and steel it. Your best bet, is to either get wireless broadband, or set up a wireless hotspot from your computer. Many hotels bars ect will give you free wi-fi access, and you can often use it at interbat cafes. a
