[QUOTE="cuhnool, post: 938855, member: 57459"] [b]1. How usable is the wifi connection? can I access emails from a client such as gmail without much hassle? What web browsers work with the touch? I use firefox and would like to also on the touch, is that possible?[/b] Connecting to Wi-Fi will allow full internet access. You can surf the web, access emails, access the App and Music stores, use Gmail, etc. Safari is the native browser on the iPod Touch, but there are other web browsers available in the App Store if Safari does not suit your needs. [b]2. I really want the touch to take the place of my macbook when traveling for internet access and photo backups. How useful/easy is it to back up photos on the touch. I got my first 20gb ipod for that, but it was so slow/complicated and there was no way to view the files after transfer so I gave up. [/b] To add photos to the iPod Touch, connect it to your MacBook. When iTunes finds your iPod Touch, click it's profile, and click the "Photos" tab. From there you can choose to add all your photos, or choose certain photos, albums, events, etc. Click "Apply" or "Sync" (forgot which one) at the bottom right to add the photos to the iPod Touch. [b]3. In the real world how much battery life can I expect from the touch under constant wifi/photo transfer/video viewing use?[/b] For constant use, expect at least 2 hours. 4, maybe five at the most. If you feel that the iPod Touch may not be the best choice for this, get a netbook or tablet, as Kash suggested. [/QUOTE]
