This is the most helpful suggestion, an iOS 5 emulator somehow + something else to make it work?

how d'ya like them apples mihahall? Shall I buy an ipod touch iOS5 or later then register an Apple ID, Apple account, Apple subscription direct debit, warranty insurance with payment protection and t-shirt printed with the password in tiny alpha numeric characters and sequences of prime numbers scattered with symbols so that I have to take it off in public to read it, just so thaT I CAN WISH MY SON who is hiking in the HIMALAYAS a HAPPY BIRTHDAY because he only took an ipod hoping that he could escape this sort of crap from me just once in his life on the last mountain in Tibet NOT to have wi-fi, thanks for being positive, it's all too hard, too much for me, suffocating in devices, can never find the right one, HUH ?? Just leave it to human beings to make it simple for us all. Sorry, this was intended for the eula guard . . . . . Please disregard

I wouldn't want to do that adenner, any more than necessary

I shall investigate all helpful suggestions, thanks

Let it be so

Thanks blufox but i have no Mac device. It isn't my religion. I'm not religious anyway. I think that restricting comms to your own cult is retrograde, anti free speech and kind of proprietary, like religion, possessive etc. We should share as much as possible and speech is free. That imessage deserves to be got around for these kind of reasons and I had hoped that some whizz kid or whazzy old person reading my post would have the answer.

IF they can AND are polite AND wish to include English speakers. Don't sweat it, learn Hindi fast if you really want your head filling with TV trivia etc etc etc etc etc etc
