Hey all! I received my new iTouch yesterday. I went ahead and got the 32GB and so far, I love it! I had an old iTouch before and loved it as well, but everything that I wished it had, this new one does.
My absolute favorite new feature is the built in speaker. I was so annoyed when I found out the iTouch didn't have one a year ago. Now, I can play my games and listen to my music without being tethered to my iPod. It has pretty good quality (about the same as the iPhone). It's really a great feature.
Also, the volume controls are a nice addition. At first, I thought they were a little tough to press, but then I realized how nice it was to be able to carry it in my pocket and not worry about the volume going up and down. Nice job apple!
I am a runner, so the new Nike+ integration is wonderful. It synced right up with my old shoe transmitter and after a quick calibration, I was able to run and listen to my music with ease. I tested the accuracy on my local running track, and it's pretty much dead on. It's truly a great feature.
The playlist I used with nike+ was a genius playlist made by using a song from Imogen Heap. It started playing songs I didn't even know I had and they were all wonderful. I'm really impressed with Apple this time around. My iPod is my new favorite gadget.
I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not Voip integration will be allowed. I'm on a wifi campus, so being able to call my fiancee using our iPods would be amazing. Not to mention just plain fun.
So to recap: Nice job Apple! I'm wonderfully impressed. Apple took something that didn't seem to need much improvement, and improved it immensely! I'm going to go play Spore now.
