I have been a big fan of the former iPod touch and have been using one since its start a join of years ago. Recently, I inadvertently cracked the screen (long story) of my iPod so I got my self the new 8Gb Apple iPod touch (2nd Generation). I have been using it for a join of weeks now and not only did I consideration that it has many improvements over the former model, but it sets many new standards for contemporary movable media players.

The Apple iPod touch 8 Gb (2nd Generation) has a gorgeous scratch-resistant screen that display amazingly vivid visuals. It does pretty well under indoor lighting conditions where it can automatically adjust its brightness and contrasts to the ambient lights.

The new model have added physical volume operate buttons onto it that is just heaven-sent. I am now able to adjust the volume of my music without taking the player out from my pocket or bag. There are also petite improvements in the potential of audio and video playback.
