iPod touch Online content available offline - using "save as" in Safari?

[DVL]

I don't have a touch yet, and was wondering if anyone could answer a question that even the apple tech support couldn't?

Im curious - if a webpage that is viewed online, can be saved using the "save as" function in Safari - then viewed offline later when Im not in a wifi hotspot?

I was hoping to use this as a work around for google maps, for example. If the page can be viewed in a wifi hotspot, saved to the touch - then can be accessed on the road - you would have your map. Obviously you cannot browse from this page, but I figured that it might be a nice work around to the missing app.

Another idea was to capture the screen, then sync that to the ipod and access it in photos. Is this feasible? Anyone know?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, can't save or download anything with safari.

I know there is a screenshot program for the iPhone, which I assume will work with the touch, once it's jailbroken.

Ok cool.....

I appreciate the response, I guess I will have to take a screen capture with with the mac, and convert it to a jpeg, then sync with the touch and access the maps that way.

Kind of long way around it, but it works....

Thanks

Even better (because that image you save will be low resolution when iTunes converts it for you) is to use this program.

yes there is a way, if you go to www.somewhere.com/url2iphone.html and enter the web address there it makes a data url (witch the ipod touch safari supports), if you bookmark this url you can view the webpage offline.

hope that helps

I don't get this, how do you get the generated datafile onto the touch?
