wireless security

If wireless is encrypted, does this mean people on the same network as me cannot read the contents of my packets? ie. If I logon to a site that uses basic http security, over an encrypted wireless connection, can other ppl easily see my username and password?

I think that when your wireless connection is encrypted, you have your own encrypted channel. Ie. others logged on to same wireless network cannot read your packets over the air.
