Apple iPod touch 16 GB 2nd Generation

The iPod Touch now sports a more rounded design on the back, making it look slightly thinner and more like the iPhone than the original did. Unfortunately, the back plate is still made from stainless steel, and this plate attacts fingerprints and scratches almost magically. The most visible change from the front is that the steel from the backplate now frames the glass much like it did on the original iPhone.

Music on iPod touch not only sounds amazing, it looks amazing, too. Remember what it felt like to flip through your CD or record collection? Cover Flow brings that feeling back. Just turn iPod touch on its side and flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. Tap the cover to flip it over and display a track list. Tap again to start the music. Even view the lyrics while you’re listening.

Say you’re listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The new Genius feature finds the songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn’t have thought of yourself.

Fill up your iPod touch with audio and video from your iTunes library. All you have to do is choose the playlists, videos, and other content you want to sync, and iTunes does the rest. The iPod touch feels even better in your hand, thanks to the stunningly thin, contoured enclosure made of polished stainless steel.

Just turn iPod touch on its side and flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. Click to enlarge. Carry hours of video with you, and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5-inch widescreen color display.

The screen is simply gorgeous. It’s bright, crisp, has great contrast, and can adapt it’s brightness to the ambient light. In direct sunlight, much like it’s predecessor it becomes difficult to read correctly. In shade it’s perfectly readable, a feat considering how bright a display has to be to achieve that. Color temperature of the display has shifted slightly downwards.

The touch screen is very responsive, absolutely scratch-resistant. Surviving a full year in my pocket along with metallic objects such as my keys is a testament to it’s durability. As with the original Touch, the same problems occur when you try to control the device ‘blind’: without looking at it, you simply can’t. Fortunately, Apple has addressed the most important drawback with this design: a hardware volume control. The screen’s resolution remains at 480×320, which is very good. Interestingly, I’ve found out that ripping videos to this resolution does not necessarily yield noticeably better results than for the iPod classic’s (320×240) screen, so I now rip to that resolution, conserving some memory.
