If you have and active iTunes account you can download music directly. Otherwise...no. These devices are designed to be synced with a computer.
 
Which is why the iPad is going to be such a great device. :rolleyes: You pay $500 but you still need a computer for basic things like putting non iTunes songs/videos/books on it. And your friend e-mails you his band's lastest demo song - you have to have an internet connection every time you want a listen.

Good god...can we have a discussion without the iPad bashers hijacking the thread!?!
The iPad beats me having to sit on the crapper or in my living room with my MacPro and ACD on my lap.

Haha, sorry but I had to share my frustation on the iPad.

And also, wouldn't an iPod touch be better 'on the crapper' as you have to rest the iPad on your lap to type (which would be borderline weird)?

In addition, a MacBook would be fine too. As the screen can be angled and can actually do real things.

Just saying!!!
