The iPod Touch debuted only one year ago, and this is the first update. I was excited to pick up the new iPod Touch at the Apple Store because I had never owned a first generation, though I do own iPhones.
I want to concentrate primarily on the new features:
First, physical volume buttons are now placed on the side of the iPod Touch as they are on the iPhone. This is very convenient. It allows you to adjust the volume of your music, without having to pull the entire device out of your pocket and activate the screen. A time saver.
Second, many people requested a built-in speaker for the iPod Touch like is available on the iPhone. Apple listened. However, there is one important point to make on this! The iPod Touch is incredibly small, and Apple is forced to put an incredibly small speaker. The speaker in the iPod Touch sounds worst than the speaker in the iPhone. I have compared it side by side, and it’s fairly significant, and the iPhone speaker isn’t that great to begin with. However, in a quiet room, the speaker is still useful for previewing a song you might want to buy, or for playing games. However, still, if you want great sound, you need to connect your headphones.
Genius - This new feature is really surprisingly good. When you’re listening to a song you enjoy, select the genius option. It will create a playlist for you, with songs that go together nicely with the one you started with. It helps you rediscover great music from your collection with a playlist suited to the mood you’re in. I didn’t think it would do a good job compiling this list, but it has been quite impressive.
Applications - It’s great to have the ability to buy (or get some free) applications right on the iPod Touch. Furthermore, with the software update this new iPod Touch comes with, the Application installation process is so much smoother than it had been even on my iPhone. It now works how you want it to, seamlessly. I like having a weather application that includes doppler radar images, and that is free. I also have several games on it. There is a great variety of applications available from hundreds of third-parties right on the iPod itself, so you are certain to find something that interests you. I really like the new release of Spore, for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Apple is really pushing the games and quietly suggest they are challenging Nintendo and Sony. They are innovative and interesting games, but I think they have a ways to go, to challenge those game makers.
Nike + is now built in too, so if you have the shoes and the puck, the iPod Touch is ready to receive the data from it. Battery life is improved to 36 hours audio and 6 hours video according to Apple. I find the audio number fairly accurate if you don’t light up the display much, but the video number is a slight bit harder to achieve.
Of course, the new ipod Touch does look and feel even better than the first generation, from my small experiences with the previous one. I also think it feels cooler than my iPhones, but obviously your interpretation may very. I like the metal back on the iPod Touch. It looks classy, though it is prone to scratches.
One of my favorite features continues to be, when in my home on Wi-Fi, to reach down for the Touch, use Safari web browser and look something up. It’s great.
Overall, it was a solid update for the iPod Touch. I wish the speaker could be better on it, but I believe that is due to the physical restrictions of the small device. I could have knocked it to four stars for that, but I think most people realize a built in speaker isn’t the way you want to listen to most audio on an iPod to begin with. I’m impressed by the second generation iPod Touch, and I think with the third party applications getting better and becoming more popular, more people will consider the Touch.

I’ve been an iPod user for the last 4 1/2 years, starting with the 20gb 4th generation and the moving up to the 80gb Classic. I had been eyeing the Ipod Touch for the last year now, waiting for the 2nd generation version to come out, and now that I’ve bought one, I have to say, this is one of the best products I’ve ever used!
When you see the Touch for the first time, especially the 32 GB version, you’ll marvel at how thin the device actually is. It’s actually thinner than the iPhone and lighter than my old 80gb Classic. The Ipod Touch fits my hand perfectly, and I’ve got big hands and long E.T. fingers (not that long). The build quality looks to be up to snuff although I haven’t, and don’t intend, to drop it (its bound to happen).
The external volume control, which only comes with the 2nd generation version, is a great thing to have when working out or listening to music. You can put the Touch to sleep, the screen will turn off and it will still play music, which is perfect for saving battery life. The Touch screen is prone to getting sticky if you like eating foods with grease and sauce but can be cleaned quite easily. The actual touch screen is very responsive. Its responsive enough to know exactly what you want to do with it and yet, it won’t detect your fingers when you slightly brush against it by mistake.
The iPod Touch has virtually every feature that the Iphone has, with the exception of phone capabilites, GPS, and microphone recording capabilites. Its got Music, Videos, Photos, Internet/WiFi, YouTube (You can bookmark and download Youtube videos, with an app…), E-Mail, Notes, Calculator, Stocks, Weather, Web Browser, Maps, ITunes…the works. But the one thing thats better than all of those features, is the App Store.
The App Store allows you to download, straight to your Ipod Touch of course, any application (Apps) that people create for the product. With the App Store, you can get, FOR FREE…Associated Press News, Internet Radio, Games (Card Games, Racing Games, RPG Games, All Games…), Wikipedia, More Stocks/Bonds, Online Book Readers and probably a thousand differnt things that I haven’t mentioned. The App Store even has a customer-based 5-star review system for each application, so that you don’t download a crappy one by mistake. The “Apps” and App Store is the Ipod Touch’s bread and butter. The apps will have you using the Ipod Touch for the next 3-4 years as they greatly extend the usage and importance of the Ipod.
The battery life of the 2nd Gen Ipod Touch is supposed to be better than the first one and so far, I haven’t run into any battery issues. The video quality looks great to me, especially when you download a high-def movie (Youtube videos look good as well). Everything can be displayed in Widescreen and the Touch can even flip the videos over, depending on how you tilt the device in your hand (Very Cool Feature, takes a min or two to get used to). Audio quality is similiar to any other Ipod, if you’ve ever used one. It sounds better than most mp3 players and now, with the 2nd generation Ipod Touch, its got an external speeaker, so you can pull out the headphones, put it on your desk at work, and dance until your fired.
It seems like Apple continues to reinvent the wheel with every new Ipod that they bring out to the market. Where the old Ipods where know for the “click-wheel,” the Ipod Touch is going to be know for its near-perfect touch screen interface. Maybe it wasn’t the first device to have a touch-screen but its certainly one of the best. I can’t believe I waited a year to buy this thing. 10/10.

Let me start by saying I am a total nerd when it comes to technology. I buy pretty much anything that is supposed to make my life easier (but typically ends up making it harder!) as far as electronics go. One thing I never really got into though was the whole mp3 player fad and iPod’s, etc. I listen to music but not enough to where I want to have ear buds stuck in my ears during every bit of the day. I think it’s quite nice to hear the car horns from time to time or if you are really lucky hear a bird chirp or whatever. So because of that reason I figured I would just listen to music on one of my computers while I worked. I have always preferred a Blackberry to what Apple has been offering because it provided GPS services, Exchange syncing, SSH applications, and more. Everything about having a Blackberry was always more attractive. Anyhow I have always liked very small computers for example my daily laptop has a 12 inch screen and I would not go any larger. It is way too convenient to have something I can carry around either by hand or in a backpack easily. I always think its funny when you see people lugging around a desktop with a lid… they always look so frustrated!
Well recently I started to be in the market for a smaller computing device and was looking really hard at the Dell mini 9. Then a light clicked on and told me to compare it to the iPod Touch…. so I did! I was amazed to find many of the same features when I really looked into things including applications, etc. What was even more amazing is getting twice the hard disk space, in 1/20th of the size, for less money!
So I thought to myself… can I really type on this little keyboard? I was worried about how it would feel when actually, I mean really, using the thing. Have no fear the Apple engineers have developed an amazing piece of software here. Typing is easy to get used to and moving around the little guy is even easier. When you start to become comfortable with the Touch you will start to ask yourself why doesn’t everyone have one of these?! How did I survive without it? There are so many cool applications that are either free or $10 and less. Currently I find a lot of use in the SSH application to manage servers, a time tracking application to record consulting hours when I am on site with a client, the email application is great, an e-book application, and the list goes on and on. No matter who you are there is something for you.
On top of it all I have found amazing programming in the form of podcasts and video podcasts. It blows away what is on network television and the radio. Now when I get a little time to relax I prefer sitting outside watching a video podcast versus sitting inside watching TV. Even reading one of the e-books available for free easily beats watching TV.
Many of my friends would find this review amazing since I have never really been a big fan of Apple products. I always had a hard time getting used to the no right mouse button! I still prefer PC to Mac and Linux to OSX but hey I don’t mind admitting that the iPhone and Touch are two of the most amazing pieces of electronics ever created to date.
Hope this helps any of the people out there like me that have never really been mp3 player fanatics or Apple lovers… trust me when I say you will not be disappointed here if you have any amount of love for technology then you are missing out without owning one of these.
