An iPhone is a 3G receiver/transmitter There is also a WiFi receiver transmitter. You can purchase a iPod Touch if you just want to use WiFi. The internet anywhere is a pretty powerful thing once you start using it. I started with a iPod touch and upgraded to a iPhone when the 3G came out. I was always looking for a WiFi connection where ever I went. Now I have the internet where ever I am. I can check my mail and Rss feeds at break or at lunch which I am not allowed to do on the work network connection. Many apps don't us the 3G connection but many of the ones that I use do. There is a cost but the time it saves me at home is greater than the cost. I have the smallest plan as I don't talk on the phone more than a few minutes a day.

So I'm thinking about getting a iPhone. I want to pay any more subscription cost that I am now. So I guess the big question is "With the iPhone can one access the internet from a Airport or other wireless access point?" Do you need internet access to take advantage of all the apps that are available?
