Default IPOD Touch

Well my Nano finally craped so I had to get a new IPOD. I bought the 8GB touch at Walmart, was $230 and some change. I figured I'd post on here how great it is. Has built in WiFi and runs Safari web browser and works great. It's worth every penny and would work great for truckers who don't want to spend $600 for a laptop to surf the web.

The price isn't too bad, but don't those hard drives crap out (warp) too quick, because of no ventilation?

Ben what type of wireless service do you use with that?

I didn't know that wireless had been discovered in Washington County!

my cousin has an iphone. she loves it. she texts and surfs the net all the time on it. i tried the itouch at the store and couldn't get use to the small keyboard. i kept hitting the wrong letters.

doesn't the new generation of iphone also double as an mp3 player now?

I have a wireless router, same WiFi will work on a ipod that you use for your laptop.
Hillbilly's love the internets! It's even worse when you cross the river and go into Wood county and even farther south. People will live in a shack, abandoned cars in the yard, grass 2 feet tall but you can count on them having a computer with broadband and laptop's and wireless routers.
