Since (at least as far as I know) the iTouch only works off of wifi signals and all offices are encrypted, protected, etc... are you able to get on the internet with an iTouch while in the office?
The iPhone has the edge technology too which you pay extra for, but I think having access to your personal emails and stuff during late office nights could be a major plus... thoughts?

If you're in the office, why don't you just open Internet Explorer?
Because many offices block the use of fbook, gmail, webmail, etc.
I'm aware. Use a proxy.
that banks dwouldn't have open wireless, and that even if they did, it would be blocked. The only way to get your personal email would probably be a personal blackberry or iphone, or have all your email forwarded to your work email.
Here's a thing you might be able to do to get around the block websites.
SImplest method:
type in "s" after http. example: if the website is http://www.google.com instead type https://www.google.com
this should work on most network blocks.
If sites are blocked on your computer, chances are they are blocked on the wireless network as well. Otherwise your IT team sucks.
The iPhone doesn't have to feed off of wireless, and uses satellite so you can in fact pick up personal email and internet while at work. I have one and would highly recommend it.
Can the IT dept detect that you are using the internet for personal time even if you use a proxy? For example, will they be able to see what sites you visit or will that data be scrambled?
just use your blackberry, that's what i do to check espn and my gmail all day at work. nothing is blocked on there.
If you use a proxy with SSL encryption, they can't see anything. Otherwise, they can. But even then I doubt the IT dept will care if you occasionally browse ESPN or check GMail. Just don't download copyrighted materials or look at porn.
it seems dumb that they block facebook/gmail
