Albeit slightly slimmer
And that’s because Apple’s done almost all of its tinkering inside. The fruity firm has added a speaker (althoug...

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
Includes a Web browser and Wi-Fi, beautiful design, easy to operate
Expensive
New features coupled with lower prices increase the second-generation model’s appeal, but this version of the Touch doesn’t supply enough incentive for existing owners to upgrade. ...

Has it all: Music, videos, photos, podcasts, email, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features.
May be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player; audio quality is average; iTunes software is required.
The second-generation iPod touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.
Attractive design; smoother web browsing; supports numerous third party applications and games; great music playback; brighter screen
Builtin speaker too soft; Safari still doesn’t support Flash videos.
