Equipped with a highly intuitive multi-touch interface, the 2nd generation Apple iPod touch makes it easy to flip through your albums, photo galleries, or favorite web sites.

So what's new about the 2nd generation Apple iPod touch?

At first look, not much seems different - it still sports the same super-shiny aluminum back and a 3.5in, 480 x 320 pixel multi-touch display as the older device.

On closer look, though, you find there is a hardware addition to the left edge of the device – a slim volume control switch, making it easier to adjust the volume quickly.

Built-in speakers mark the other major new hardware addition; a great one if you want to play games without having to wear the headphones.

The Apple iPod touch 2nd generation player's has 32GB capacity to store up to 7,000 songs in 128Kbps ACC format, up to 25,000 iPod viewable photos or 40 hours of video.

The batteries when fully charged can play up to 36 hours of music or 6 hours of video playback.

It can be charged via USB to a computer or through the power adapter, taking 2 hours for 80% fast charge or 4 hours for full charge.

A great new feature for fitness enthusiasts is the inclusion of Nike+. This is a bluetooth adapter that is capable of communicating with bluetooth-equipped Nike sneakers.

All you have to do is place the iPod sensor in your Nike shoes and start running. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. This feature is also compatible with cardio equipment available at fitness centers.

The new iPod touch comes with Apple OS version 3.0. This iPod touch also supports the new Genius feature. This feature creates a playlist which captures the mood and style of the original song being played.

It offers great variety and often brings out songs which have not been heard in a long time.

The Apple iPod touch 32GB comes with in-built Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, using which, you can easily download videos, movies, and music from iTunes, games from the App Store, browse the web, send email, and much more.

Gaming is excellent on the new Apple iPod touch. There are no buttons to press or keys to tap.

Instead, playing some games involve tilting and turning the iPod touch itself. This ability to sense movement much like the Nintendo Wii makes it an excellent gaming interface.

Other games use the touch ability of the screen. For example, racing games use the motion function and other games such as Tetris-types use the touch screen to control them.

Undoubtedly, the new Apple iPod touch is the best made yet. With all its exciting and versatile features this should be the first on your upgrade list.
