    Exclamation itouch 2nd gen VS 3rd gen reiviews...


    Okay, so I know there were rumours about camera's and all sorts of cool updates due to come in at the release of the new ipod touch 3rd generation, but they were exactly that...Rumours.


    So what we're gonna do for you today is give you the actual facts and figures on the two newest ipod touch's out at the moment and compare the 2nd gen with the 3rd. (The 2nd Gen 16gb is soon to be fully discontinued, so you should be able to pick up some of the unsold stock pretty cheap, just make sure what Gen they're selling you before you hand over your cash don't pay over the odds for the 2nd Gen)

    Then you can decide which of the two you're going to go and fulfill that dream you've been having about running down the beach naked, just you and Mr.i.Touch...Huh?.. NO!? Only me then?.. Shame...


    Anyway! Let's get straight into it with the specs:


    2nd Gen 3rd Gen


    Released 9 September 08 Released 9 September 2009
    Memory 8,16 & 32 Gb Models Memory 32 & 64 Gb Models only
    Operating system 2.1.1 (Upgradable to 3.1.2) Operating system 3.1.1 (upgradable to 3.1.2

    Battery Life 6 hours of video Battery Life 6 hours of video
    Processor & Speed ARM11 400/412 Mhz Processor & Speed ARM Cortex-A8 600 Mhz


    Both of these ipod's have been under-clocked from their original speeds. The 2nd Gen from 620 Mhz and the 3rd Gen down from 833 Mhz


    Memory (RAM) 128 Memory (RAM) 256


    Both of these ipods have the same screen resolutions and size which is:
    320x480 px, 3.5 in (89 mm), 2:3 aspect ratio, 262,144 colour LCD at 163 pixels per inch (ppi)
    However although they have the same screens and resolutions etc, they have upgraded the video cards in the 3rd generation models


    Video card PowerVR MBX Lite Video card PowerVR SGX


    Both ipods have the same touch screen and accelerometer technology with proximity and ambient light sensors and external volume buttons for when their in ya pockets...
    Although both of these models are both Wi-Fi and Blue-tooth enabled, if you purchase the 2nd Gen you will have to update to OS (software) version 3.0 (3.0 should be free) or higher to use Blue-tooth 2.1+EDR (better connectivity with devices, less power consumption amongst a few other things) whereas the 3rd Gen will come with this as standard
    Both ipods are the same height, width and Thickness and also the same weight:

    H:4.3 in (110mm) W: 2.4 in (61mm) Th: 0.33 (8.4mm) Both weigh in at 115 grams (4.1 oz)
    Both Second and 3rd Gen models have a loudspeaker and are compatible with an external mic, only the 3rd Gen will come with one in the box.
    Both models are fully compatible with itunes and the app store
    The only very new feature over the 2nd Gen is the Voice control and Voice over functionality in the 3rd Gen which will allow users to do such things as say the name of artist or track that they wish to hear and the device automatically finding and playing that request, which will same a lot of time getting the player out, especially in busy places and flicking through your tracks.


    Okay so that's about it, Hope you found this useful!

    God bless...
