“The funnest iPod ever…”

ipodtouch hero 32gb Apple news: curtains open on new iPod touch

Funnest. It’s the new 2G iPod touch official catchphrase – as intro’ed (another Apple word) at the “Let’s Rock” event in San Francisco.

It is a catchy description, even if it’s not actually a “real” word.  It conjures up a slightly less corporate image for the iPod touch. Cross-market appeal. Clever!

Well, what exactly makes it the “funnest iPod ever”?  Let’s check it out…

Millions of songs, thousands of videos, hundreds of games”

What’s new?

  • Previously only 8Gb, 16Gb … now also 32Gb
  • Shiny stainless steel back
  • Curvier back (similar to the iPhone)
  • Side volume controls
  • Better battery life
  • Built in speaker for earphone free listening (quote “not for audiophiles”)
  • Wireless support for the Nike + iPod (just add the shoe sensor)
  • Genuis playlist feature (recommends songs from your library to create a playlist)

They’re touting stunningly thin – but I had the 1st version measures as slightly thinner??  Maybe I’m wrong (*gasp* imagine?).

Game on

Gaming is being highly emphasised for the iPod touch this time around. With now 3,000 games in the iTunes store for the touch and iPhone, that’s not a surprise.

There are many iPod touch specific games – like Spore Origins for eg, as reviewed below by CNET:

Software update

There’s also a software update for the iPod touch.  The update is free for users who have already upgraded to the 2.0 version; or $9.95 for users still with version 1.x.
