i was thinking, what's the point of paying for a weather application if you can just go to weather.com??  lol

and if anyone is a webmaster...you get your email at www.yourURL.com/webmail

Does that work with the touch?
1st one yes, 2nd one dont know...but hotmail.com or anything like that works.

Basically, if you can't jailbreak it, there is a way around most applications using the net....this will get jailbroken again soon anyway.

Ookay!  I didn't know Weather.com had a Touch-friendly site.  I'm using it now, and although slower to load than WeatherBug, it's a lot more detailed!

I seriously think that it's worth considering the Cowon series of touchscreen players and also the Archos line of players (since they've been in the business of touchscreen players far long than Apple).

Truth be told, the Cowon Q5W is far and away the best video and touchscreen player available for now and the foreseeable future - however, you'll be sure to pay for it.

That may be true, Raven about the Q5W - but it's fucking 5 inches wide. WTF? That kinda kills its everyday portability.

Do I really have to pay for any software I want to put on it, like the email and maps feature?  Can I just use webmail, or outlook?

You can just jailbreak and get loads of free software, it's harmless.

Is the internet connection on it any good?

Depends on the connection your connecting to, sometimes it's faster than other times. Like a public one would be slower than say a home one.

I have an iPod hookup on my truck right now.  Does the iPod touch work with the normal iPod buttplug, or is the hardware different?

Yes, it does

Can you use pandora, or other such streaming music sites, on it?

No, but there is something being implemented for jailbroken iPods so that you can browse for music free.

Is it bluetooth?

Sadly, no

As an alternative for "mobile internet" I am pretty sure you can get an EeePC for the same-ish price as a 16gb touch.

That gives you a ultra portable laptop instead of a glorified mp3 player, but if you are after an iPod as well it won't be as good.

Well the iPod doesn't support flash right now. If you look on their website it's flash. So no, it does not work.
