Craig HillApple iPod Touch ver. 2
September 11th 2008 00:45
Together with the fourth generation iPod Nano, the iPod Touch ver.2 was also unveiled by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at a special event in San Francisco.
So what's new?
Well, the new iPod Touch is slimmer, lighter, sleeker and sexier than the original. The contoured enclosure is made of polished steel which looks bloody fantastic but will no doubt be a nightmare to keep clean. There are some great additions like the volume control buttons on the left side which provides quick access to one of the most frequently used controls and the built-in speaker which is great for casual listening and sharing something with a mate without having to use headphones.
Battery life has been improved to provide up to 36 and 6 hours of audio and video playback respectively.
Perhaps the biggest innovation for the iPod Touch ver. 2 is the built-in Nike iPod support. You can now use your iPod Touch to track your running time, distance and calories burned by using the Nike iPod Sensor (available separately). Just slip the sensor into your Nike shoe and start your run and let the devices communicate wirelessly - it's that simple. All this data can then be transferred to the PC via iTunes and uploaded onto nikeplus.com for time keeping, monitoring etc.
