I'm open to learning more, but at some point I'm going to reach maximum capacity for computer OS.<BR/><BR/>I think we'll end up taking a look at both when in Ottawa and do a little comparison.

I got the 32 gig version and put all my music and about a dozen movies on it for travelling. Also there are a wack of useful/fun apps you can download. Google Maps and the location finder doesn't work in the north but will work in urban areas. The email app works perfectly - I can check my email from my bed in the mornings now. Also Greg is correct you can get netbooks with linux.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14401558992050889178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-61978385723142217042009-04-05T23:09:00.000-04:002009-04-05T23:09:00.000-04:00I love love love love love my ipod touch.

Don't expect to use it for *typing* emails longer than a line or two... and I can imagine it'd be even more tricky if you have large-ish fingers. But I had mine in Iqaluit and can see how someone might want an iphone.<BR/><BR/>I use mine for everything and (in southern canada where wifi is more ubiquitous) is the most *useful* non-necessary purchase I've made in a couple years. <BR/><BR/>And I would suggest at least a 16gig. Even that's small if you are loading videos.Jackie S.

I know that hubby had a problem one time previously logging onto a hotel wifi network that had username/password, but we had several like that on this trip and no problems. I used it for keeping our itinerary on, confirmation numbers, addresses, checking email, etc. I even used it to map out a route (using the Google Maps app) from the hotel to the airport (while I was still hooked up to wifi, of course). Before we went, I saved detailed maps from Google, with turn by turn directions, etc, so I was able to refer to them on the road. We have the 8GB 1st Generation, and after a year we still have 1.1 GB free. Make sure you order a wall charger at the same time. And I believe if you order through the Aeroplan.ca store, you get extra miles...<BR/><BR/>Love it, love it, love it! And yes, Windows is evil!<BR/><BR/>-MK in IqaluitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
