    "Excellent product"

    by ChrisMLost on September 13, 2008

    Pros: Great Audio, External volume control, much improved software 2.1, Sleek design, Wifi, Mail, App store, Battery life, Stunning Video playbac

    Cons: Stainless steel back will be prone to scratches

    Summary: Apple have got it perfect this time, my 16gb first gen Touch had good audio quality but it wasn't as good as my old 5.5 video ipod. I bought the new 32gb 2nd Gen touch and there is an improvement in audio. (Use quality headphones to hear the difference). 32GG is plenty for me even though as I only carry about 1200 songs around plus I have 7 movies, and 14 tv shows and a good few Apps and I still have enough room left to handle impulse buys. The screen is gorgeous and very bright and clear, UI is much improved over 2.0.2 for the older models. The volume controls are a welcome addition as is the speaker, which although tinny it's fine for showing off the gaming capabilities of the touch. The ipod touch is a great little mobile device, ideal for gaming, music, video, photos, email, web browsing and lots of fun Apps as well. Overall this is a fantastic and worthy update to the iPod line, not a dramatic update but a welcome one.

    Does it have bluetooth? What about equaliser settings? Personalised EQ settings appear to be the most required feature of a good mp3 player, but itouch or even the nanos do not have this. Rather they have horrible presets. When will apple learn to respect the customers preferences?
    Because of these shortcomings, I give itouch only a 3 out of 5.
