Apple’s all-new iPod touch isn’t all-new at all. It looks almost identical to the last model
Albeit slightly slimmer
And that’s because Apple’s done almost all of its tinkering inside. The fruity firm has added a speaker (althoug...

The second generation iPod touch has failed to excite us. Yes
It’s a bit thinner
But the extra features are next to useless. The built in speaker is woefully under-powered
And can barely be heard in anything but the quietest room. The Nike+ iPod...
You have to use iTunes 8
No camera
Speaker is poor for listening to music
Its not an iPhone
Nike+ functionality no better than Nano. Tinny speaker slightly unnecessary
Speaker not very good
Easy to get grimy fingerprints
Ditch those white headphones if you can
Overall size makes it impractical in many situations
Overwhelming for users looking for a simple music player

All the new features, such as the Genius tool; the impeccable design
Overwhelming for users looking for a simple music player; average audio quality; iTunes software is required
This is one of the best iPods ever made -- seriously -- and it's definitely worth upgrading if you're using an old or basic MP3 player. But keep in mind that with all the new features, it could be too much for people just looking for a portable music ...
Apple has begun to reinvent the iPod touch as the ‘funnest’ vehicle for playing games, websurfing and email when in Wi-Fi range, and even as a keep-fit companion with its Nike+ jogging monitor. But in spite of its shortfall in making phone cal...
Abstract: Apples 32GB iPod Touch is one of three players here with a touch-screen interface, but its easily the most responsive, accurate and pleasing to use. It supports multi-touch gestures, so you can zoom in and out of photos and web pages by pinching ...
The 3rd generation iPod Touch 32GB is an excellent new version of the device that revolutionized the smartphone market. About the only downside is that you're still tied to a 2-year contract with AT&T in order to get the device at a reasonable price. I...
