Was originally looking for a small mp3 player, but the ability to surf the web has made me interested in the new ipod touch. Any clues as to how fast/good the browser will be?

the iPhone one is pretty fast on a g network. Problem is there are few free wifi spots in Korea. So its ok I guess. No flash, but quicktime loads pretty fast

I get one in October. I'll set it up on my WiFi network and let you know.

I think the screen resolution is smaller than 640*480 so it's not going to be the most elegant web solution. If web use is a priority, consider a UMPC as they're coming down in price and going up in features. Otherwise, I wouldn't spend a hell of a lot extra on it, as it's not going to be possible to do a lot without a keyboard and decent screen. Nice to have, but don't pay too much for it.

(I have a Raon Vega 800*480 and the web is usable but scrolling and typing is a real pain.) IMO 1000*600 is minimun these days.

Can I view regular websites on iPhone or just mobile websites?

With the Safari web browser on iPhone, you can surf websites just as you do on your personal computer. You�re not limited to mobile WAP sites.
