There are over 20,000 apps in the Android Market nowadays. A good number of them pointless and duplicates. I'm pretty sure that any sort of app you could possibly want would be there, assuming there is also an app like it in the iPhone store.

Wow, didn't know that.

My Droid is plenty sleek enough for me, with a physical keyboard to boot.

I don't know, it always looked really clunky to me, though the physical keyboard is a bonus.

Tib, it seems like you got the iTouch for the purposes of being able to access the internet everywhere. If you bought it with those hopes, then you were naive. If you've come to realize that what you truly want is that, then you'll fallen into the trap Apple set for you, where you long for the iPhone after having the iTouch.

He probably didn't. Most people get their apps, etc. then use them with wifi, then leave their hotspot, then realize how awesome it would be to use it outside of the hotspot.

the 2010 ipod touch comes with wireless internet that you can pay for like 25 bucks a month, they're perfecting some flaws and making it available everywhere, go return your ipod touch and wait a year

Stuff like that might work on Cyberlord, but it won't work on anyone with an IQ over 80.

It was given to me as a birthday present. Previously, I had no interest or care in them whatsoever.

See above.

I certainly don't long for an iPhone. That's at least $20.00 a month I don't have for a plan, or if I do buy an 'unlocked' iPhone (worth some $300.00 or $400.00 more) I can use on a prepaid connection, I might as well just throw my wallet at Telstra.

However, now that I have an iTouch, and no interest in an iPhone (I already have a mobile phone, why buy something that can do what my iTouch can do now, for a price far more than setting up the stuff in my original post?), my phone makes and receives calls and messages and that's all I need it to do. So to counter act this, the method in my original post gives me (and any friends in the vicinity) the ability to access the net.

It makes perfect sense to me.

To the best of my knowledge, Jailbreaking wont unlock this phone.

Though, the prices for iPhones seemed to have dropped a bit. Last I saw, a prepaid unlocked iPhone was in the ~$1200.00 mark. I doubt unlocking it would add that much to the price. (Given the iPhone itself used to be considerably more expensive then that.)

Or you could just buy an iphone...

Hm. An $800.00 iPhone or a $300.00 portable WiFi router with multiple uses.

A tricky situation.

800 dollar iphone

Do iPods and iPhones still have that issue where if your battery dies you have to send it in to have it replaced and it's like $180.00 or did they change that policy? That is mostly what is standing in my way of getting an iPod touch right now.

My friend's battery was almost dead, so he poured water on it and got a new one for free.

Also, Tib, Blacksn0w unlocks the newest baseband, and ultrasn0w unlocks the last version. You can look both up if you want. By the way, that link you posted doesn't take you to any products or anything, but as long as the phone is running the right version of the baseband, one of the methods I listed will work.

No I simply mean I read that once the life of your battery is gone, you have to send it into shop to replace it, it can't be done at home.
