The iPod touch has always been an amazing iPod. And with its groundbreaking technologies--including a Multi-Touch screen, the accelerometer, and 3D graphics--and access to hundreds of games, iPod touch puts an amazing gaming experience in the palm of your hand. It comes in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models with new volume controls and a built-in speaker. Play hours of music. Create a Genius Playlist of songs that go great together. Watch a movie. Surf the web. View rich HTML email. Find your location and get directions with Google Maps. Browse YouTube videos. And shop the App Store for games and applications.
There's a reason that people always think of Apple's first iPod - 5GB hard drive, mechanical click wheel and all - as the first MP3 player (even though it wasn't by a long way). The navigation wheel was such a groundbreaking and intuitive interface that no other manufacturer ever managed to best it. I guess you really can't re-invent the wheel.
Love or loath Apple as a company, there's absolutely no denying that the iPod touch was simply the most desirable MP3 player going when it launched. That's not to say that other devices didn't offer better audio quality, or pack more features - they did - but they didn't have that "wow" factor that Apple has such a knack of adorning its products with.
All of which leads us rather nicely to the launch of the second generation iPod touch, of which we've cunningly managed to acquire a 32GB version. That's important because at this capacity I feel pretty confident saying most users will be able to squeeze in their entire music collection. It certainly makes my 4GB original iPhone seem just a little impotent.
