iPod touch 101: Free Tuesday selections on the wireless store

The secret to using the iTunes wireless store resides on your personal computer. Log into your iTunes account before you sync your iPod touch. The mobile music store then uses your account information from iTunes to facilitate your purchases.

To take advantage of the iTunes weekly freebies, point Mobile Safari to the most recent TUAW freebies post. Tap on any of the links. Your iPod touch launches the mobile music store and loads a page containing the free selection.

Tap the "free" button next to the item you wish to purchase. The button turns green and the label updates to read "Buy Now". Tap it. Using an adorable animation, the song "jumps" into your downloads folder. The touch prompts you for your password. When you enter it, the download begins.

What these people are trying to say is that those freebie sites work. This site explained to me the whole ordeal

I should note that the video link does not work. You have to download it through your computer iTunes and then sync. This goes for any videos as nothing but song files are accessible via WiFi iTunes. Unless of course I'm wrong and someone wants to point out how much of a bonehead I am. :)

Yeah but is there a way to do it directly from the WiFi Store? Nothing against TUAW, but surely there's a better way.

Dumb "oh that makes sense" comment: This doesn't work for video. The error message is "This itme cannot be accessed on your device, but may be available from the iTunes Store when accessed from your computer"

And here I wanted to watch the pilot to Gossip Girl on my flight.

pretty neat.. but excuse my ignorance.. i guess you can only download the free songs from your respective country? doesn't seem to be an easy way to switch your locale on the ipod touch
