I have the Tour 9630, and an Ipod Touch.  Is it possible to use the BB as a hot spot so I can use the internet on my Ipod when I am away from an internet connection?


Thanks

As far as I know, the Tour 9630 is not wi-fi or hotspot capable.  If someone knows for sure, please jump in and let us know!

I looked on apple.com and it said to look in the Network area of the setup and only saw VPN connections.  But I wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything.

Thanks alot for taking the time to answer!

SuzyQ is very much correct, the Tour is can neither receive WiFi nor send WiFi (Hotspot) data.  The Tour 9630 simply does not have the necessary hardware for these actions.  And no, a software update will not change these facts.
