The humble iPod just keeps getting better. Now with the release of iPod Touch this little device has taken a great leap forward in innovation. With the all new and 3.5 inch touch screen there is no doubt that Apple certainly leads the way in hand held entertainment. The only aspect that you'll probably be disappointed with when you start playing around with your new iPod Touch is the fact that it comes with virtually no entertainment built in. That's no surprise when the first thing your prompted to do when you connect your iPod touch to your PC is set up an iTunes account. You can can quite easily spend a small fortune on downloads for the iPod Touch there.

The best option available to you is to join an unlimited iPod Touch Download Site. These sites charge you a one time membership fee and then give you unlimited access to their networks. What's available to download is truly staggering. The wealth of files are available via P2P share networks which are very popular at the present time. So for around $50 US you can gain access to an unlimited supply of movies, music, video, tv shows, games and software downloads. The membership fee is all you ever pay and there are no download limits.

There are a couple of sites that have sprung up recently that are specific to iPod touch. We joined these sites to see what sort of deals they're actually offering and what you get for your $49.95. We were surprised to see that what was on offer was not really any different from what the standard iPod download sites include in there membership. Standard iPod download sites have a lot cheaper joining fees as well, around $35 - $40. On our review site for iPod touch downloads you will see the full reviews of the two specific sites for iTouch, but our number 3 recommendation is our top site from our standard iPod download review page.

You also have the option of using any iPhone Download Site as your source for iTouch downloads. There basically the same device except one has the ability to make calls. These iphone sites are also priced at $49.95 for a life time supply of downloads. We have reviews of these iPhone Download sites on another one of our web sites. You will find links to that site and our standard iPod Download review site on the web page listed at the bottom of this article.

So with the standard video iPods having pretty much the same playback capabilities as the iPod Touch, (screen technology and size being the only difference), why not save yourself around $10 and join a standard iPod Download Site to get what you need for your iPod Touch. If you really feel the need to join a specific iPod touch download site, there are a couple available.

Once you become a member to any one of these sites you will have instant access to their file networks. Included in membership are the necessary tools for searching, downloading, converting, and burning the files you download. Transferring of the downloaded files from your computer to your iPod touch is still taken care of by iTunes. Most of the download sites supply software and tools that is both Mac and PC compatible. What some sites offer for the Mac can sometimes be pretty pathetic compared to what's on offer for Microsoft users though.

Basically you can find just about anything you want on these sites. There is usually two programs you will need to search and download. One for individual Mp3's and another for everything else including music albums. If the site doesn't supply both programs just send them an email and they should supply what ever you need. Good, reliable, prompt customer service and technical support is a very important aspect you need to be able to rely on as part of your membership. All the sites in our recommendations have excellent customer service but not all sites we tested did.

If you are apprehensive in joining one of these unlimited download sites to take full advantage of what's available to download for the iPod Touch, take into consideration that all the good sites offer a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. We've tested them on this and most sites will honor their statements of a full refund if your not satisfied.

In closing remember the legal aspects of downloading from these unlimited download sites falls on the down-loader. It's up to you not to download copyright material. Although most people get away with doing just that, some people do get pinged. So there is some risk involved when when acquiring your iPod touch downloads from these unlimited networks if you choose to download a whole heap of copyright material. That being said there is certainly no better way to fill your iPod Touch with all your favorite entertainment.

Mark Frahm and associates have researched and tested these new sites for iPod Touch downloads and other download sites for different hand held devices. They supply you with honest information of what's available from a members point of view. Check out the review site here at http://www.downloadsforipodtouch.com

So you have done your test and you know your speeds, but what do those digits actually mean? Broadband speed is measured usually in Megabits per second. This is usually abbreviated to Mb, Mbps or Mb/sec. These are all the same thing. Its important not to get Mb's (megabits) mixed up with MB's (megabytes) as MB's are about eight times as big as Mb's. If you download anything you will notice that file sizes from things like music and movies are measure in MB's.

Dial up internet is so much slower than Broadband that it is measured in Kilobits per second. This is usually abbreviated to either K, Kb, Kbps or Kb/sec. There are 1000 Kilobits in a Megabit.

So some useful things to know are roughly how much big downloads can be-for instance a single music track would be around 4MB and an album would be anywhere between 40MB and 5MB.A feature film would around 700-000Mb, although the DVD quality ones can be in the Gb's (Gigabytes). If you want to game online- World of Warcraft is the most popular online game but also games like Splinter Cell are widely used- then you can expect to download between 4 MB and 40MB an hour. Keep this in mind when you are selecting your broadband package as many service providers will limit downloads. For some people 2GB a month is plenty to browse with, however if you are gaming or downloading then you should look at a higher limit. Otherwise your speed may be capped by your provider once you have exceeded your limit. For instance if you have a 20Mb connection you may find it capped to 512Kb once over the download limit. Other providers will charge per Mb downloaded in excess of your cap.

Now what about the speeds? These days your line speed can be anything from 512Kb to a whopping 24Mb. This is what is advertised by broadband service providers. You have to do a broadband speed check to make sure that your area can receive this high speeds though, otherwise you may be paying for it and not using it.
