Hello. I just ordered a 16GB Touch and was wondering if most websites looked funny when viewing from a touch, or if they looked normal, like how they would on a computer screen?
Sorry if this is a N00B question...

i think like normal unless some sites have ipod touch/iphone capable sites like ilounge says "welcome ipod touch/iphone user!" (i think)

amizingly normal. most websites look exactly how they would look on a PC or mac. I had a few pages that had problems but really rarely. and big sites like amazon, google or iLounge have a iphone version of their page which is designed to fit on the ipod screen.

Safari does a great job rendering the pages so they look very much like they do on your PC at home. Obviously, Flash based pages still don't, but pages like CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, etc. look great and work well.
The only issue is when a webpage forces you into an iPhone/iPod Touch page. For example, some people prefer the regular Google homepage or iGoogle page to the mobile versions But Google likes to force you to the mobile homepage anyways. It's a nice homepage with a lot of features, but it kind of annoys me there isn't a way I can jump to my regular iGoogle page anymore...
