IPod Touch Morse Code
If you are interested in learning Morse code, you might prefer to practice it using an app on your iPod Touch. Samuel Morse invented the code in 1836 as a means to transmit messages as electrical impulses over telegraph wires, with each letter of the alphabet represented by dots and dashes, or short and long pulses. Apple's iPod Touch has a touch-sensitive display, making it suitable for learning how to tap Morse code dots and dashes. The iPod Touch connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi, enabling you to download a Morse code app from Apple's App Store directly to the device.
