Apple iPod touch iOS 3.0 - Manual (Page 58)

Downloading Applications
When you find an application you want in the App Store, you can purchase and
download it to iPod touch. If the application is free, you can download it without
charge after providing your iTunes account information.
Once you download an application, it’s immediately installed on iPod touch.
Purchase and download an application:
1 Tap the price (or tap Free), then tap Buy Now.
2 Sign in to your account as requested, then tap OK.
If you don’t have an iTunes Store account, tap Create New Account to set one up.
Downloads for purchase are charged to your iTunes Store account. For additional
downloads made within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your
password again.
Some applications allow you to make purchases within the application. You can restrict
in-app purchases in Settings. See “Restrictions” on page 114.
Some applications use push notifications to alert you of new information, even when
the application isn’t running. Notifications differ depending upon the application, but
may include text or sound alerts, and a numbered badge on the application’s icon on
the Home screen. See “Notifications” on page 111.
See the status of downloading applications: After you begin downloading an
application, its icon appears on your Home screen and shows the status of the
download and installation.
While downloading purchases, it’s okay to turn off iPod touch or leave the area of your
network connection. iPod touch starts the download again the next time iPod touch
joins a network with an Internet connection.
