Yes, wherever there is wireless internet, you will have access. It takes a little getting used to. Be sure you learn to touch the screen to stretch out or compress things – you sort of pinch your fingers together, then spread them out to stretch, opposite to compress. I didn’t realize I could do that at first… and if you tip it sideways, most apps change from portrait to landscape. But I send and receive e-mails, check the weather, and read the New York Times online with my iTouch when I have internet access. It is not quite seamless, you usually have to go to the Settings to see what wireless networks are available and pick the one you want. But it is pretty cool.

Apps I use on my iTouch that haven’t been talked about too much yet. You don’t need wireless access to use these except when downloading books for B&N…

Barnes & Noble (mentioned, but just to clarify what you can do, I have downloaded some ebooks from B&N, just the free ones – am about halfway through Dracula at the moment)

Library List - you can keep track of books you want to read, have read, own, etc.
