Hello there!

I just ordered an Ipod Touch. I'm waiting anxiously, so my questions may be premature since i haven't even used it yet. :eek:

I'm using the Touch partially to replace my Palm TX. What I'm confused by is if the Touch backs up my data in programs that I download on the Touch to my computer like the Palm does. For example, for Handy Shopper on the Palm, all the shopping lists were backed up when I would sync it. So if I use Shopper on the Touch, will it do the same thing?

Further, what would happen to the Shopper data on my Touch if I were to jailbreak it? Would it all be erased? Could it be backed up somehow?

You see, I would really like to use GPS on my Touch when 3.1 can be jailbroken but I don't understand if I can do that without losing all my app data. Or even if my app data is backed up on my computer when I sync with Itunes.

I hope my questions make sense. Thanks. :confused:
