Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) NEWEST MODEL Immediately

Over the last 4 years I have been very content with my Apple 30 GB iPod AAC/MP3 Video Player Black (5.5 Generation). That was until my son received the Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) LATEST MODEL for his birthday. Now being that I paid for a large portion of this gift I found it only fair that he let me borrow it and try it out for a couple days.

Physically the biggest difference was the size and weight. My 80GB is over a 1/2 inch in depth compared to the iPod touch at 1/3 inch and slightly more than 2 ounces in weight. It seems like such a small amount, but it is a huge difference when it comes to carrying it in a pocket or small purse.

I have to say that the iPod touch is very user friendly. After my son initially synched it with his iTunes account he was having trouble connecting to our wi-fi. He handed it over and within 2 minutes I had it connected and started surfing the web. Although I had never used it before, I found the Safari browser easy to adapt to. For the next half hour I checked my email, facebook, shopped here on Amazon, performed several google searches and when it came time to give it back to my son, well...I didn't want to and that is what led to me taking it for an extended test.

Overall in my opinion the best feature about the iPod touch has to be the unlimited amount of apps available out there for download. I was amazed at what you could get! From fun to functional, business to humorous and everything in between. This is something that I do not have the ability to do on my iPod and wish I did. My son has downloaded so many I had several screens to maneuver through just to find what I was looking for - music!

Now after 3 days of playing with the Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) LATEST MODEL am I going to buy one? Not yet. The original reason I purchased mine was for music and TV shows and this version hasn't improved so much that I feel the need to switch. Do I want one? Well as I said in the title - YES! The "fun" factor for me is a big part of that. Do I need to be able to surf the web when away from my computer, do I need the apps and games? No, but they would be nice.

My suggestion is that if you don't already own some version of a video iPod and are looking to get one - GO FOR IT! You won't be disappointed and I think the price is worth it. Additionally if you're going to invest in one, by all means pick up a protective case and screen cover. My son bought these and they will definitely protect his investment.
