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...
Thinner than ever before
New Genius playlist feature
New built-in speaker and volume buttons
Built-in Nike+. Slick interface. Slightly improved sound quality. Physical volume buttons. Genius playlists work well

Average sound quality
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

The second-generation Apple iPod Touch has it all: music, videos, photos, podcasts, e-mail, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features.
The second-generation iPod Touch may be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player; audio quality is average; and iTunes software is required.

Abstract: The second iteration of the iPod touch equals or improves upon its predecessor in almost every physical facet. Slimmer, lighter and more functional, the v.2 also gets new volume control buttons, full Nike+ integration and a built-in loudspeaker. It's...
Abstract: The most interesting improvements that come with Apples iPod touch 2G arent the physical tweaks, like its slimmer profile or new built-in speaker. Its whats inside. This huge screen isnt just for Coverflow or video viewing anymore—its for games a...

Abstract: I was never a Touch man. I loved the iPhone but the Touch never drove me to drink in quite the same way. I am pleased, however, to report that I’m getting me a 32GB Touch as soon as the Apple Store opens tomorrow. Why? A few reasons.First and foremost ...
Stunning, sprawling glass display. Access to App Store and iTunes Store via Wi-Fi. Built-in Internet browser. New Genius feature builds playlists for you.
Very expensive. Fingerprint magnet. File support is still extremely Apple-centric.
While the second-generation iPod touch is very similar to its predecessor, it has enough extra features, like Genius playlists and excellent games from the Apps Store, to maintain its standing at the top of the PMP heap....

You’ll need regular access to a Wi-Fi network to make the most of the iPod touch, but even if you don’t, it’s easily the best portable media player on the marketRRP: 8GB: $329; 16GB: $419; 32GB: $549Contact: Rating: 4.5/5 send phot...
Screen is still a smudge/scratch magnet; In-built speaker sounds awful.
Apple hasnt done anything strikingly wrong with the second generation Touch. At the same time, they havent done anything all that striking. Yes, its slightly slimmer and lighter, but beyond that, and the slight price drop - which you might expect ov...
App Store access means lots of new toys to play with, Still the one to beat in terms of interface and ease of use, Feels better in the hand than the original, Sleeker and sexier
Some features require the purchase of accessories, Cant store files via draganddrop, Audio via speaker is pretty ordinary
Not just an excellent media player — the addition of third-party apps makes the second-gen Touch the portable device to beat in a wide range of areas.
