>>thanks, but those MacOSHints.com and MacFixIt.com links you posted sound like solutions for a computer, not for the iPod Touch, which is what i am talking about. i'm not sure you can even change the cache settings, it gives you so little freedom. and of course, one must use Safari, which is a terrible browser to begin with.<<

Wyatt -

I believe it's true that you can't adjust cache settings on the iPod Touch. You can't on the iPhone, anyway.

In your comments about the Touch's deficiencies, you compare its abilities to what a ten-year-old laptop can do. Then you complain that it forces you to use a specific browser.

I do agree that it would be nice if Apple allowed you to add third party applications to the Touch and the iPhone. But the thing is, the Touch isn't a laptop computer. It's a three or four hundred dollar portable media player. The fact that it browses the web as well as it does is pretty cool, in my opinion. And a laptop, especially one that is ten years old, can't fit neatly in your pocket.
