    Not just an excellent media player — the addition of third-party apps makes the second-gen Touch the portable device to beat in a wide range of areas. Read more

    Happily, all three of our grumbles have been addressed with the release of the second iPod Touch. It's a beauty. The main question with this model is whether it will take off in a market that has only just taken delivery of the long-awaited iPhone. With its lack of 3G internet, GPS and camera, some may see the Touch as "iPhone lite", but the attractive price and ever-expanding range of apps to play with should attract a loyal audience.

    The second iteration of the iPod touch equals or improves upon its predecessor in almost every physical facet. Slimmer, lighter and more functional, the v.2 also gets new volume control buttons, full Nike+ integration and a built-in loudspeaker. It’s not a radical change, but it’s better. Read more

    This year, the new iPod Touch is thinner, sleeker, and while it's more likely to look all smudged when you put your fingers all over it, it also performs a hell of a lot better than it did in its first round. The new iPod Touch looks even glossier this time with a smaller black part on the back telling you where the WiFi is. Read more
