iPod touch connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi networks. iPod touch can join AirPort
and other Wi-Fi networks at home, at work, or at Wi-Fi hotspots around the world.
When joined to a Wi-Fi network that’s connected to the Internet, iPod touch accesses
the Internet automatically whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, FaceTime, Game
Center, Stocks, Maps, Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.
Joining a Wi-Fi Network
The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.

Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPod touch automatically connects to it
whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in
range, iPod touch joins the one last used.
When iPod touch is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar
at the top of the screen shows the connection strength. The more bars you see, the
stronger the connection.
