Awesome Post About iPod Touch and other IOS devices

[rusty_armour]

crimsoncorundum has been kind enough to share her knowledge of iPod Touch and other IOS devices in her most recent LJ entry. She covers quite a few topics, including free e-book apps and the pros and cons of certain e-book readers. I'll fully admit that I'm still a hopeless newbie when it comes to iPod Touch, but I think even seasoned users might learn something they didn't know before. It's also great if you're thinking of buying an e-book reader, or would like more information on the subject in general. Anywaaaaaay, here's crimsoncorundum's most excellent post:

Hmmm...generally I click on the Safari icon, the browser opens, then a window pops up with "Select a Wireless Network", you select one, and another window opens and asks for a password.

What's happening instead?

Well, that's exactly what happens, but I don't know what to use for a password. At my parents' place, I tried to use the password they were given and it didn't work. For my visit to Timothy's, I didn't know what the password was. I kind of assumed I wouldn't need one in a public place (like a coffee shop) or else people would be having to ask all the time -- unless they do and I just never noticed. Okay, I'll admit it. I'm an idiot. However, my only previous experience with wi-fi was using a laptop at Osgoode Hall. If I remember correctly, the only password I needed was to connect to the main network at work.

Sadly, I think mostly you have to ask for the password. If you are sure you have the password correct at your parents' (easy thing to get wrong), you might want to double-check that you selected the correct network and didn't accidentally click on a neighbour's instead. You tend to see multiples these days.

I'll be at my parents' again this weekend coming up, so I'll give it another shot. It's quite possible that I selected the wrong network. I'll have to experiment and see. If multiples do come up then that could very well be the problem.

Thanks for the words of wisdom and advice. :-)
