Status bar
The icons in the status bar at the top of the screen give information about iPod touch,
including showing when iPod touch is connected to the Internet over a Wi-Fi network,
if it is locked, if an alarm has been set, and the battery level or charging status.
Applications
Many applications are included with iPod touch, as discussed in “Using the
Applications Included with iPod touch,” earlier in this guide. Some, like Safari, require
being connected to a Wi-Fi network to access. Other applications can be added by
downloading them from the App Store on iPod touch or on a computer in iTunes
and then syncing to iPod touch.
Tap an application icon to open it.

the USB port of a computer for charging or syncing. You can also charge iPod touch by
using an Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately. With the use of an Apple iPod
Learning Lab, you can charge up to 40 iPod touch devices at the same time and sync
up to 20 at a time to the same computer. (For more information, see “Mobile Learning
with the Apple iPod Learning Lab” earlier in this guide.)
