Apple iPod touch 16 GB with Software Upgrade

Okay, I have a question. With the iPod Touch, does it cost money somehow to go on the internet, or can you just do it because you already paid for it? This could really help if i get it or not. I just need one person who actually knows what they're talking about. If it does cost money, click thumps up. If it doesn't, click thumbs down. Thank you.

I am a techie challenged older woman and this is one of the niftiest gadgets ever. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a "getting started" manual, so I had to solicit help from some younger friends to get going. It takes some practice to figure out how things work but I'm having great fun as I plod along. Once you get the basics, it's pretty easy and intuitive. The email and internet feature is brilliant so you can stay in touch wherever there's WiFi. I also bought a Bose portable Sound Dock, so I can carry it down to the pool and hear my music with no effort at all. I'm all set!

The iPod Touch is awesome. I got the 32GB version. So far it contains 1900+ songs, 100+ photos, and 30+ videos. All of that and I still have 20GB available!

My only gripes...
<> While listening to music, the battery dies in less than 5 hours.
<> Only videos from iTunes can be imported.
<> The world doesn't have enough WiFi access points!

The maps feature would be way cooler if you could save searches or access a cache or history of searches. Without more WiFi hot spots, it's mostly just a feature that's fun to play with.

For an average user, the 8GB or 16GB model is probably more than enough. I had an Amazon.com gift card to defray the cost, so I went all out for the big boy.

It obviously depends upon your usage habits, but since I travel on a regular basis, I highly recommend getting chargers. I got a set at Walmart made by Griffin. For $50, it includes both a car charger and an AC (wall) charger.

Wonderful for traveling with 2 kids - for movies. It is great. The user interface is easy to use and very well done.

Was very dissapointed with this product. Could not load the Itouch from Itunes, and every time I attempted the unit screen would go into a reboot cycle and the screen would flicker. The unit also got very hot.

For $450 you would think Apple would individually test these before shipment. I sent mine back immediately after purchase for a refund. I would not buy this product.
