AppleApple announced the release of the new iPod Touch today. They are now shaped more like the iPhone with the curved back but are made out of stainless steel instead of plastic like the iPhone. They also come with volume control buttons which goes along nicely with the new internal speakers.

Another huge feature for the iPod Touch is Nike+ integration. Nike+ is a combination of a sensor on your Nike shoes and software on the iPod that integrates your running and music.

8GB, $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399

This all means no GPS, no microphone, no camera, no bluetooth…

    well for the Nike+ it must use an added dock attachment like the iPod nano and it’s polished steel like the first iPod touch

    Brooke on September 9th, 2008 5:21 pm:

    Nike+ is built in, not an attachment.

    2.1 available and installed on my 8g iTouch… Sync/Backup is much faster. Genius Play list feature…. iTunes interface has changes.. I am going to install all my apps and see if I can get it to crash like it has in the past…. will let you know….

    birdpuk on September 9th, 2008 7:30 pm:

    7 full pages of apps and not crashing….. hope this keeps going… installation was very fast from itunes… itunes 8.0 automatically skips iPhone specific apps when syncing the iTouch…

    not as bad, so far!

  11. Cody on September 10th, 2008 6:13 pm:

    “This all means no GPS, no microphone, no camera, no bluetooth…”

    Actually that’s not all true. The new iPod Touch can use the new headphones with built-in mic that Steve showed in his presentation. Also, Gizmodo is reporting that there is in fact a bluetooth chip built into the new iPod Touch, but it just ins’t activated… yet!

    Sahara on September 12th, 2008 6:14 pm:

    There is a bluetooth chip, but it’s only for Nike+ integration nothing special like the iphones

    Touch2LUVER on September 14th, 2008 10:29 am:

    Actually, I was about to say that, but then I saw your message.

    The bluetooth IS activated, but only for Nike+ as a cheap way to implement, but Gizmodo says people may be able to hack it!
