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
Good battery life, Apps install quickly, Built-in speaker and volume buttons, Best touchscreen around
Accelerometer needs calibration, Google Maps locator function is quirky, No cut-and-paste or e-mail search
The volume buttons, speaker, quicker app installs, and improved battery life help offset minor glitches with Google Maps, as well as still-missing items like cut-and-paste and e-mail search. The iPod touch is slimmer and sexier than the latest Zune and...

Abstract: The 2008 iPod touch inches closer to the iPhone line while retaining its iPod branding. It gets new audio input and recording features, volume controls, a speaker, and a full assortment of bundled apps, including Nike+ support.Missing features on the...
For many £169, £219, £289 for an 8GB, 16GB or 32GB MP3 player will be an unjustifiable expense. That's rather missing the point of the iPod touch, though. There was precious little wrong with the first version and there's even less to dislike the second t...
Great-sounding audio. Clear, fluid video. Wi-Fi and apps add exceptional versatility. Safari expertly surfs websites. Nike + iPod built in. Small speaker good enough for portable gaming or sharing YouTube audio. Side-mounted volume rocker. Impressive batt...
Nike + iPod requires computer connection to upload or download. Less contrast than iPhone. Weak bundled earphones. Can’t buy TV shows or Movies from the touch.
Music and movies are just the beginning. A media player at its core, the iPod touch extends the Mac experience into your palm. iPod touch...
Handy hardware volume controls; greater capacity for similar price of original model; Genius playlist support; less buggy OS; podcast episodes play one after another; Nike + iPod receiver built-in; great audio playtime.
Internal speaker tinny; screen looks a little dingy; video playtime not up to Apple’s estimates; doesn’t charge from older accessories; video out requires expensive cable.
This text will be replaced The iPod touch used to be the second fiddle device to the iPhone. It looked like an iPhone, only a bit goofier, like it was made with leftover parts. With the new generation, however, Apple has staked a new flag in the san...
A substantial improvement to last year’s polarizing original iPod touch, featuring better screen and audio quality, superior battery performance, and lower prices for previously offered storage capacities. New enclosure looks and feels better in the...
Low storage capacities relative to hard disk-based iPods continue to force users to choose between the smaller-screened and more capacious iPod classic or the bigger-screened and more versatile iPod touch. While improved, battery life is still not com

Abstract: I picked up five 32GB iPod Touches yesterday at the Apple store – we gave away some at TC50 and our benefactor Michael Arrington wanted two – and I can confirm that the Touch is worth looking into if you’re hunting for all the power of the iPhone with...
