  • Quick start on the basics

  • You’ll learn to do emails, surf the web, using iCal, and other “standard” iPod Touch tasks and actually understand it the first time

  • Then we take it up a notch with adding menu items, using iTunes, smart playlists, iBooks, games, and photo slide shows

  • Then we connect to the TV, rip DVDs you make at home

  • And we get out of control and hack OS X so that it will run apps on the phone

  • We end with money saving tips about what accessories you need and where to get them
