What you said about the Classic, yea, it is about the same you just have more storage. From what I know, the Touch is like a cell phone wherein you have to pay for the amount of information you plan to exchange with the cell towers. So if you use less than 50MB a month it may be one price, you can pay as you go, or it could be one flat standard rate for as much as you want it. But then again, it might just be WiFi, and you won't have any costs. In that instance, there would be no price to use the internet like a cell phone, you just would need to be near a wireless source. I'm not sure. What I would suggest doing is calling up Apple and just plain asking them.
