A few questions about itouch... I was just wondering about the internet...it says you can use it anywhere, but do you need to get a special service for it or its free? Also can we download E books on it? These might be noobish questions but I don't really know much about electronics...sorry! A few questions about itouch...

Yes, I now have a wireless router at home and I am able to use my safari browser with no problem. I have grabbed some ebooks from the webapps thru apple when I am using my safari browser on the itouch, there is a decent selection and I am sure it will grow as time goes on.I am glad the information was helpful:)

The wi-fi capability of the ipod touch can be used anywhere wi-fi is available -- just like using a laptop at an airport or at starbucks to check your email, for instance, requires you to sign up to a provider's fee-based plan, using a touch also requires such fees. Similarly, using your own wireless network on it is obviously no different from using it with your computer. You cannot download ebooks, however it can open pdf files within the browser. So a good way around this limitation would be to send the ebook to yourself as an attatchement!hope that helps!fawaznas

Thank you Fawaz Ahmed and B. Smith for answering my questions. Everything is crystal clear now. =)

I just recently received my ipod itouch and I cannot use it with the wi-fi in my house because of the networks around me are password protected, and my home does not have wireless. You probably can use it at starbucks or panera or wherever they have wireless for free. Also, I downloaded an audiobook yesterday from the itunes store online. Hope this helps.

So that means internet on itouch works only if you have wireless? Also I know you can download Audio books, I was actually wondering about Ebooks....But thanks all the same and just so you know your reply did help. =)

Seems it doesn't charge, although it will play songs/videos on the iTouch. The only part that may be bad for your iTouch in using this transmitter, is that the battery would drain while you play your songs/videos. More bad for you than the itouch device. So you'd have to recharge it with an alternate charger or though the usb cord on the computer. Suggestions for alternate product: FM Transmitter & Car Charger with LCD Screen - for Apple iPod / Iphone 3G / Itouch 2nd Generation / Nano 4th Generation - High Quality digital Sound - Automatically powers and recharges battery with car adapter. --I like this so far. Just wish it had buttons to preset stations so you don't have to scan each time to find a clear station. When you get a good station, songs play clearly. You would have to figure out what to do with the iTouch as it dangles from a cord. Put it in the cupholder? Find some sort of bean-bag thing like people use for their gps to sit on the dash?

Dubbie, did you ever get a reply regarding this product working with an iTouch? I would like to know as well

This tablet has an andriod operating system installed on it so whatever apps that are in the play store can be used on this netbook. Many inexpensive tablets do not have the google play store installed on it so putting apps on the tablet would be a task. Basically anything you get on your andriod device can be used on this tablet. 3D games handle pretty good on this tablet for the price and you can download the kindle app for books or use the play store. Parental locks I'm not 100 percent about but I'm sure there is an app for that too.

install aptoide market and you should be able to find an app for reading e-pub books. and you should know that this device is really laggy, as long as you stick to general use you should be fine, don't even try to use flash player in the browser. it does not have the horsepower for it, and the best browser for this tab is at m.opera.com get the mobile phone version of the browser not the mobile tab version because it cannot handle flash. You can also use opera mini and it is a bit faster but it is not as compatible with most websites, avoid the stock browser at all cost.

With the iPod Touch you don't have to do anything to set it up and it doesn't cost anything. It will connect anywhere there is wireless internet as long as it is open or if you have the password to a secure connection. With ours, if we get on it at home we have to type in our password but if you are somewhere that offers Wi-Fi like at a fast food restaurant, all you need to do is open the internet on your iPod and it will come right up. Hope this helps!

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!

It does not have a USB, although it may seem to. There is a micro USB used for charging - although the microUSB may also seem to connect to (non-NOOK) micro-USB cables, it actually does not. If you're not a tech-geek, it's pretty much useless. There's no provision for backing up on a laptop or anything like that - I guess B&N; don't want you keeping the stuff you've paid for anywhere but in their cloud or on the e-reader. My opinion - do not consider it a tablet, at all. It's a e-reader with some almost-misleading features of a tablet. We're using it at this point as a shopping list organizer and that's about it (where it's not an e-reader). It does not have a USB, although it may seem to.

Eh. Already have a 3rd Gen iPad. The big push for me is the cost of replacing the battery vs buying a new one. If I trade my iTouch in I can get $129. So that's $170 away from a replacement 5th gen iTouch. Then I gotta buy a stupid adapter. Replacing the battery when the time comes will cost me $79. Is the extra $100 or so bucks before adapters worth it? What happened to the 8 gb iTouch? I don't need 32 gb anymore!

Somehow, I got to be an expert on the Slick e-reader. I remember little about it, other than I returned it after a few days. And, that was a while ago. I don't believe that it is a tablet, which would allow you to get the Kindle app. Since it is an epub reader, one will have to convert the Kindle .mobi format, but is it possible? Do a Search on your computer.

Yes, the plastic insert they ship in the jack is useless for earlier Ipod, Itouch devices...took awhile to figure it out..also, the jack doesn't quite hold the Itouch steady so u might have to place a piece of stiff paper behind to keep it upright. After awhile it isn't needed as it works out finally.

also thought I'd addwe don't use the ipod holder, it limits your vision (and we only have one and they will probably fight over it)if you can find it on sale, even betterKMart here in northern OK has them on sale right now

This helps one draw, and you can swipe with the pen via a tablet pc look with the right freeware, but you must ask the internet the right questions and keep searching.....so in a way this is and is not a tablet reader sort to speak.
