iPod touch Is the internet on iPod touch useless?

[BiikeMike]

I'll start by mentioning that I'm not wifi-savvy. So I'm wondering what the signal range would be on the iPod Touch. I live about a block from a coffee shop with wifi, would I get a decent signal or even be able to connect? I don't have my iPod yet, I'm just curious.

Probably not. The touch gets slightly less reception than my MBP, and at some coffee shops, its hard to get reception 2 feet beyond the patio on the mac. Its for sure not going to go a block.

There are cities with free wifi!? Is that a europe thing? I'm from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and I don't think we have any cities around here with free wifi.

Toledo, OH was talking about free pubic wifi, so if we are getting something like this maybe more cities are planning it. We are usually shockingly behind the times. We just got rid of horse and buggies in the 90s

I'm pretty sure toronto's got free public wifi

another thing that might turn you off is that for some reason, safari on the touch doesnt support flash, just like the iPhone.

it might matter to you, but that all depends on whether or not you want a full internet experience

i have a question about flash..is there a possiblity of that being added with updates or hacks and stuff?

thanks.
