Can I use this device to create an ad-hoc network WITHOUT any internet connectivity and connect to it with Android &amp; iPod touch? What gotchas exist?

It does have adhoc for apple but Android does not support Adhoc so for no internet connection you must have apple product to use adhoc mode.

Yes, will work without an internet connection. Either use the APE to create a wireless network, or join the APE to your existing wireless network

Hi Jason, I am pretty sure it cannot to use it as an access point because I believe they need to be paired to act as one anttenna, per se. You may wish to contact their support team to confirm since I am not absolutely certain.

The great and handy Kingston MobileLite creates a mini WiFi network -- independent of your home WiFi network. When I first used it, I mistakenly thought I had to use Bluetooth to make the wireless connection because I saw a glowing blue light.You can find the user manuals for Apple and Android devices at:http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products?model=MLW221 Marge

If your phone doesn't have wifi, then this thing is useless to you. This does not require a wifi router to work. It directly connects to the phone via wifi.

Hi,While the device does work with most WiFi protocols we have noted a few issues connecting with iPhone's recently. We are currently working with the manufacturer to diagnose the problem and determine if there is a compatibility issue with recent software. We currently would recommend the PLX Kiwi2 Wifi or Kiwi Wifi module for use with iPhone at this time.Thank you,BrianTuner Tools LLC

I owned this device for 1 whole day when I found out that I couldn't save playlists on it, but I'm pretty sure there is no Wi-Fi capability. It is more like a portable hard drive that will play videos and music. It connects to a computer for downloading of files. I've owned other Cowon devices and am very impressed with the audio quality, but the smaller ones will store playlists.

Technically, yes, you can use this device without a modem. This device will not, however, provide access to the internet. If you have several devices that you want to all talk to _each other_ then this would do that. I suspect you mean, "Can I use this device to connect to the internet without a modem" then then answer is no..It's a subtle and somewhat technical difference, but it might help someone in the future...

no Bluetooth - yes for multi-touch, but it seldom works. Now that I have the unit for 3 months, I have had to buy a new charger, I must keep it plugged in all the time to work. Half the time it doesn't connect to my router for internet access, even though it shows connected. About all I can do with it anymore is play Angry birds. No internet - no App store, no video, no e-books. But it was cheap

Need wifi connection. iPod has no 3G at all. Only wifi. If no wifi, you cannot do anything that requires internet (like a call)

This device presents a wireless hotspot-style connection available to any device that can connect to a WAP (or wireless router). So far, I haven't found a device that hasn't been able to connect to this device. BUT, that being said, I do not have an iPhone or iPad, but my iPod connects just fine.

It will work with the device, but iDevices do not support aptX and the quality will suffer. Only macbook airs and pros support aptX. It will work fine through the iTouch, actually I'd expect it to have a more solid connection considering the lower bitrate without aptX but with aptX the device is very sensitive and loses connection and jutters the sound very easily. I'm going back to airplay for now.also edit: my issues i believe stem from living in a large apartment building with a ton of signal flying around, in a more rural setting it may perform much more solidly.

You can stream wirelessly from any Apple device with Airplay installed. Does not work with any Android devices.

Love the product but I am not using wireless phones. I am currently using wire lines. on another note the product is great and very reliable. Many features for the price. I have an ipod using pandora for the music on hold in which i change periodically the stations. Hope it helps

This device is specifically designed for connecting a non wireless capable device to a wireless network (Wifi). if you don't have Wifi this device will do nothing for you.

Yes the 2 will communicate even with no WIFI. The Macally sets up its own WIFI network so multiple items can connect.

It's a music & HD video player, primarily music. It's not capable of connecting to the internet or DLing apps. You are looking for the iPod touch.
