I was wondering if you can hack it so you can use the internet anywhere with the ipod touch. There was a guide on this forum on getting internet anywhere without hotspots but you need a windows mobile device. My friend somehow did it but he's currently in Europe right now so I can't get a hold of him. If you guys could help me out that'd be great.

OH yeah that link is here https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/400881/

you could always get an EVDO card and plug it into a cradle to get wifi

wish wifi coverage was better in the states. Sadly, it sounds like what you're looking for is an iphone.

According to the first post in the above thread:
"to do so you will need a windows mobile device with a data connection service"

So to do this, you would need to carry around a Windows Mobile + Touch. And pay for some kind of data connection service. Am I the only one who thinks why not just get an iPhone and save oneself the trouble?

I use JoikuSpot with a Symbian OS phone. It works very well, but drains the phone's battery rather quickly. Hope that helps!

(The Joiku application creates a Wi-Fi hotspot.)
