I'd like to buy a small, portable device that I can use to access the internet via wireless. Would you recommend an ipod touch, Kindle touch, or something else?
Not sure what your price point is and what Apps you need to run but I have a Kindle Fire and it serves the purpose you describe and for $199 is a good solution. Of course you can go for the IPad if you want something slightly larger that will run a variety of Office Apps. Depending on what you want to do the IPad can run around $500 give or take $100 based on how much memory you want or need.
