The Second Generation iPod Touch

Well this time i stand with something really flattering and here it is- "The 2nd generation iPod touch".This year hitting the markets with an initial cost of $229,the new iPod touch has a host of newly included features that are enough to mesmerize one.The greatest feature-"It packs more number of features in a sleeker design".Lets get to its features one-by-one.



This time apple has come up with its newer technology in collaboration with Nike.The iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available separately) into your Nike+ shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress.This feature also works with new cardio equipments available in many fitness centers. Just look for Nike + iPod compatible treadmills, ellipticals, stair steppers, and stationary bikes.This is the part that interested me the most into it.When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch via iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.



Some of the very expected upgrades are speakers and battery life.Volume buttons are built into the left side of iPod touch, giving you easy access to the most frequently used controls.Still better a built-in speaker lets you hear the music, dialogue, and action without headphones, perfect for casual listening.Now you can keep on rocking (and watching and playing) even longer. Improved battery life means iPod touch provides up to 36 hours of audio playback or 6 hours of video playback — enough to watch three or four movies between charges.



iPod touch games and applications are nothing short of amazing. And the App Store is where you’ll find them all.The world’s best developers are taking advantage of breathtaking technology including Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional sound, to create games and applications made especially for iPod touch. So whether you’re a gamer or into something else — chatting, social networking, news, sports, finance — there’s bound to be something just for you.



The iPod touch has struck the market in three versions-
