How about detailing your wants first?
"And stuff" isn't good enough.
And no, it doesn't use Flash or Java.

I think he wants details like how everything comes together, i.e. coding turns into a picture, how the touch screen senses touches, how it is programmed, etc. Reading the iPhone Wikipedia page would be very helpful. And if you don't understand a word like HSDPA then click then find a Wikipedia page on it.

iPhone/iPod Touch uses Javascript, but does not support Flash yet. The screen on iPhone/iPod Touch is capacitive, which means that it senses touch by the transfer of electrons from your finger to the screen.
For a full list of the iPhone features, check out this Wikipedia article:

Or, For iPod Touch:

Hope that helps.
yea but then i would have to look into all the websites that want me just by a touch and then you have ever website that just says the Words iPod Touch....... way easier to ask you guys
So when researching for your report you decided that rather than do the research yourself you would ask other people to do it for you?
Classy.
Why not just do your own homework?
because since the teacher recommended this site and said that if i had any problems to post the questions on here and get them answer this way.
Plus some of the information that i need i cant get from apple because they dont want anyone steal their product.

Nothing you are doing is so advanced that you have to worry about trade secrets.
half of the stuff i learn on here i just cut and paste onto the PowerPoint (cuz i dont have any clue what the hell it means). he just wants a PowerPoint on technology and he seems to understand all of it and doesnt seem to care if i dont. as long as i have the info im good.
Good call. After all, why bother learning about the technology when you can just plagiarize?
why do you care? i have found some uber awesome people that have taken the time to explain some of it to me. how will this help me down the road in life. i work with my hands for a living?
If you don't see any moral objection to plagiarism then I don't really know how to convince you otherwise. I can say that if I were a prospective employer I'd be hesitant to hire someone with the attitude of "I may as well plagiarize since it probably won't come back to bite me."
If you quote information from a source and cite it properly, then no it's not plagiarism.
ok tell me the right way to quote my sources. (and you dont have to quote ever time you decide to make a new post)
I actually find the quoting useful. I suppose it's a habit I picked up from USENET, but I find it helpful when trying to follow the thread of a conversation.
As for citations: that's something that I would have expected your teachers to have taught you about. At least when I was in high school it was still covered in all the classes that I had to write reports for. I'm afraid the best option is for you to ask your teacher how he/she wants you to cite your sources.
Put this:
(Tallest Skil. MacRumors:Forums. arn. 2001)
after the sentences that you use that have my information in them. Helpful if you ever need to write about the Mac Pro.
That's proper MLA format, too, so you can't be counted off for that.
well that helps a lot. i know how to do normal cites but am not sure how to do it when it is said verbally like this. cuz its not really part of a website.

ok thanks couple of questions
1) why arn?
2)why 2001 or use the current date?
There's a reason he quotes your text...
it makes it easier for the rest of us to skim thru the important parts and focus on what he is answering.
calling someone a "smartass" on here isn't going to get you the assistance you want. all you'll get is a bunch of people jumping all over you and a bad reputation.
stay polite, appreciate any help you receive and learn what you can.
then you might realise why your teacher told you to come to this forum in this place...
