Does the iTouch internet only work with WIFI?

Yes.

that sucks, considering most places aren't wifi enabled...And public places that are usually require you to pay (ie. Starbucks)

What? Since when does Starbucks charge for internet access?

Even in places where you need a web browser to authorize your device for using the network, the thing has a full web browser - they made a big deal of that in the keynote.

Just to let you know Myndy, the negative black is a defect in the touch screen. Apple is replacing them with new ones.

A batch of iPod Touch Units and iPhone Units were affected by this.

Wow, I've never been to or heard of starbucks charging for their internet service. I've heard of them denying freeloaders, though.

Reminds me of the first generation batch of Nanos that had screens that scratched easily.  Considering I was about to buy a Nano back then and didn't b/c of this problem... and again when I'm looking at getting an iPod I'm completely turned off once again.  >_<;

It's always a bad idea to buy the initial release of any Apple product. I waited six months to get my macbook, and it never had the notorious random shutdown problem. It did get pretty hot, though - I've had the motherboard replaced since then, and now it runs cool and quiet.

Well, 4-5 star hotels no it's usually not free.  I know that when I went to the Omni Shoreham in DC it was not free, at least in the rooms it wasn't.

Every Starbucks I've ever tried to get on their internet with, requires a starbucks card or some kind of subscription. Keep in mind I haven't tried it much, but it's definitely a commonplace.

University campuses=free WiFi.

Yeah, that's really the only place I know of with free wifi, other then random insecure networks. My college campus requires you to have a student login,  however.

Drexel's WiFi is $34,000 per year.  On the plus side, I can get on the internet from about....1/3 of the city.  Additionally, it's a BAMF network.  4mbps wireless down = win.

Also, I can get on Cingular's (Now AT&T) WiFi anywhere they have service for free.

I'm not sure what my university's policy is on that.. I'm assuming you'd need a student login, but I'm not sure.

Did you add 3 extra zeroes to that? Or is it totally insane?

You can't get on unless you're a student, so the price of the network is the price of tuition.
