As an owner of the original iPod nano (2 GB), and an avid opponent of cellphones (actually their inconsiderate users), I am now quite interested in the new iPod Touch. One feature I anticipate is the WiFi internet ability, hoping it will work fine with my home AirPort system as well as other "hot spots" away from home: Starbucks, etc. In response to my question to a "Genius" at my local Apple Store about the ability of using WebMail via Safari, he assured me that it would be possible; I hope he is correct. Has your review of the iPod Touch investigated this ability of using WebMail on Safari? That would be a critical feature in my consideration. Thank you, Julie, and HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY to The Gadgeteer!</p> Thanks, Julie, for an excellent, informative review of the new iPod Touch.

You do have an option as a do it yourself (DIY) for now to have most of the applications mentioned here. Maps, Weather, Email, Editable Calendar, Notes, Sending Photos, Sending Songs, IM, Games and a lot more applications that I haven’t installed yet. These new non-profit (free) features are becoming very popular for the iPhone and Touch. Apple has recognized the popularity and the needs for these Applications for their iPod Touch customers, and announced the release of the SDK (Code) to help individuals/companies make more applications. Careful for what you wish for, it may come true! For more info you can search the internet for "ijailbreak" or go to a site I visit often at <a href="" />apple-touch.com</a> Hope that helps :) For those of you who are considering purchasing an iPod Touch (IPT).
