Apple has given its second-generation iPod touch everything it's got. It's hard to imagine, but the design is even better and its features are responsive as ever -- all this despite a price cut. It's got podcast support, video playback, a Web browser, pho
Review Verdict: This is one of the best iPods ever made -- seriously -- and it's definitely worth upgrading if you're using an old or basic MP3 player. But keep in mind that with all the new features, it could be too much for people just looking for a portable music play

Latest update to mobile entertainment device is incremental, more affordable

The latest iPod touch features integrated volume controls, a built-in speaker, curvier case, and more capacity for the same price. It's an incremental improvement upon the original widescreen device.

With the second version of the iPod touch Apple takes another step to close the gap between iPod and iPhone, adding two useful features: external volume controls and an internal speaker
Review Verdict: Apple has begun to reinvent the iPod touch as the 'funnest' vehicle for playing games, websurfing and email when in Wi-Fi range, and even as a keep-fit companion with its Nike+ jogging monitor. But in spite of its shortfall in making phone calls, we liked

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.

iPod touch 2G (32GB)
Comments:
The second-gen touch adds just enough to keep it ahead of the pack.
Review Verdict: Battery life is significantly improved, increasing from 22 hours to a very respectable 36 hours of audio (or 6 hours of video), though that's dependent on how much you use Wi-Fi and accelerometer-based apps

Second-gen iPod touch review
Comments:
With the second version of the iPod touch Apple takes another step to close the gap between iPod and iPhone by adding those two desirable physical features: external volume controls and an internal speaker.
Review Verdict: It's early days, but the extra physical features and slimmed down price make the second-generation iPod touch - already a compelling product in its first iteration - a sure-fire winner.
