The iPod Touch 2G

The new Touch is finally here . . . and what a pod it is.  Only 8.5mm thin, with a great new contour design to fit perfectly and comfortably in the palm of your hand.

 

New Speakers: Just like the iPhone it now houses a external speaker so you can hear your music even without headphones.

Its Genius: 

The iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and iPod Touch all have a built in personal DJ.  Genius is a smart playlist maker on the iPod that picks songs based on other songs and places them nicely in a playlist for you (Before, only iTunes could do this).                                                                      

Example:

1. Your playing a song and like it so much you want to hear others just like it. 2. While playing the song, you tap the Genius symbol near the top of your iPod Touch.3. A new playlist appears in your playlist with that song as its title and songs like it as its contents.

Of Course, it has a great 3.5 In display with superb 3D positional sound, a built in Application store, built in Wi Fi, accelerometer, and kind of a GPS.  The GPS tells you your “approximate location, gives you directions, and traffic in that area.

The iPod Touch 2G also includes a Nike Plus iPod Sports built in reciever (You still have to buy the one for your shoe though) – Your own personal trainer for your work outs.

   Yup, Im getting one off of the Apple store. Other than the hardware volume controls and the built in speaker, is there much of a difference to the iPod 1g? Also, is it worth it to jailbreak it?
   Thanx

   Well, other than the volume controls, external speakers, the updated appearance, software, and the GPS theres nothing to revolutionary. You should def. jailbreak it though … thats always worth it.

   “The iPod Touch 2G also includes a Nike Plus iPod Sports Kit – Your own personal trainer for your work outs.”

   Can anyone confirm this? I can’t find details anywhere that state this new iPod Touch comes with a Nike Plus iPod Sports Kit. I will run out and buy one right now if it does. I do know the new iPod Touch has the Nike receiver in the unit, but you say this includes the sports kit. I do not think this is accurate.

   I recommend everyone read a blog that updates their stories Like gizmod
   http://gizmodo.com/5047092/ipod-touch-second-generation-rocks-our-socks-off
   You can get more detailed information about the Nike+ features, bottom line this unit does not come with a transmitter that is placed in the shoe. The unit does however have the receiver built into the iPod.

   I hope you will change your blog post to reflect the updated data.
