Dear Group:

Can iPod touch be used as a phone in theory? Using Skype or similar services with using Wifi?
Thank you

Yes you can use Skype on a iPod touch as a phone. Note that only the new 5th gen iPods have a built in mic. The previous versions do not.

When I am out of country I only use my iPhone via wifi. And Skype is all I use. So I say yes.

Yup, each device uses the 40 character UDID to identify it - you can plug as
many iPhones, iPods, or iPads you want and iTunes reads from the device what
to sync - backups will be stored in the computer (location depends on OS) in
/User/Library/MobileSync/iTunes/40charactername/ or
\Users\User\AppData\iTunes\MobileSync\40charactername\

Of course. Each iPhone (or iPod, or iPad) is recognised as a different
device by iTunes. Each one has its own preferences and settings.

If you had your own users on the computer, you would each have your own
iTunes. I assume you share a user?

Yes. 32 GB was an artificial limit in the Windows disk formatting utility.
NTFS is a better system and MS wants you to use it. FAT was left for
compatibility reasons, I assume.

The Drobo is a storage device, right? If yes, then it does not
provide NAT. Your router provides NAT. (NAT = Network Address
Translation - stuff on your side of the router is a private network,
allegedly non-routable from outside).

If a storage device does or can connect via ethernet directly, then
it's a NAS by definition (NAS = Network Accessible Storage) and can
normally plug into an available ethernet port on the router. The
router does not need to know what it is, only that there is a network
device there.

Network storage via USB is abysmally slow. Personally, I gave up on
it. I've tried it with the Airport Extreme and my current router from
Netgear. At this time, I cannot afford a true NAS box, but it's got
to be faster.

The context of the instructions on the Airport to only use USB for
this is probably because it doesn't have a Firewire port, so you
cannot use a Firewire drive. But then again, it is from Apple and
Steve does like to micromanage what his customers can and cannot do
with stuff he sells (why can I sync an iPod Classic to both of my
computers, but not my iPod Touch?).

> I was uncertain if the Linksys does NAT. I have not looked it up yet.

If the Linksys is even remotely current, it does. NAT is a very basic
function of modern consumer grade routers.

That would be the Airport and the Linksys. If you intentionally need
or want both routers in the mix, move the Drobo from the Airport to
the Linksys. If you do not actually need both routers, reconfigure
your LAN without one of them.

If you mean me & my DLink, no.

I hardly *ever* reset it. It's connected to my DSL modem & on 24/7 unless I
either turn off all the power or the server goes down or somesuch.

Even if my computer is off it's still on & blinking & I can wifi with my
iToys.

I have an Airport Extreme mounted vertically on the wall in a special mount that Apple has and it runs no hotter than my old Buffalo or Linksys routers.

I am far from being an actual expert in it, I do not support routers,
wired or wireless, for a living or anything. What I am is a
technically minded computer geek, and I do work in IT. My only
practical experience with routers is my own, and some family and friends.

I actually found the Airport Extreme to be harder to setup and
maintain. The only time I've had to call Linksys for support on my
old Linksys routers was when one of them actually broke, when I was
trying to do something truly advanced, or when it wouldn't let my
iPhone connect. I have not (yet?) had to contact Netgear support.
The Airport, otoh, I had to call Apple several times because the setup
was just plain obtuse. In trying to something only slightly more than
a basic config, I even managed to stump the tech at Apple!

The problem I have with the Airport setup is that it uses a
proprietary client-side configuration program rather than a web based
setup like everyone else. Apple's Airport Manager has too many menus,
toolbars and tabs, AND you need to be running their Bonjour Service
(Windows) to even use the software. (If you're using an iOS device,
you pretty much have to be running that service anyway...) The same
setting I was looking for is easy to find on the old Linksys and my
new Netgear.

HP B210A works beautifully with my iPhone. You can get it for less then $100 however replacement ink cartridges are extremely expensive.
