Apple iPod Touch (third generation, 8GB) first look

Design For better or worse, the first thing we noticed about the third-generation iPod Touch is how unchanged it looks. Side by side with the second-generation iPod Touch, you'd be hard-pressed to find a way to distinguish the two models from each other. Aside from minor differences in the etching on the back of the Touch, the second- and third-generation models are spitting images of each other Just like its phone-wielding sibling, the iPhone, the iPod Touch is a touch-screen device with a glass-covered 3.5-inch screen that sports a 480x320-pixel resolution. In spite of its touch-screen interface, Apple includes a few physical buttons, including a slim volume control on the left edge, a hold switch on the top, and a home button on the face of the player, placed below the screen. The bottom edge of the Touch includes the same universal dock port and 3.5-millimeter headphone jack as previous models, piercing the otherwise unbroken expanse of chromed steel that wraps around the back and edges of the device. The shape and dimensions of the Touch also remain unchanged (4.3 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide 0.33 inch thick), defined by a flat-glass front set inside a curved steel backing that feels natural in the hand but makes the iPod a little wobbly when you set it down on a table. Packaged with the Touch is an Apple universal dock connector USB cable, a pair of white earbuds that include a microphone and remote control on the cable, and a molded universal dock insert to use ...

  7. RTSplayer7 Says:

    @atedj actually i found a difference between 8GB and the 32/64GB models. ive been researching and a 3rd gen 8GB is actually a 2nd gen. and 32/64GB are the only 3rd gens. also 32/64GB did a speed test(reaction & boot up time) with 8GB model, and it is a little faster than the 8GB. so if you want a faster iTouch, get the 32/64GB model. if u just want an iTouch that works just as great, like me. then get the 8GB. Hope this helps everyone. Thumbs up if helped.

  8. @RTSplayer7 which do you think is worth buying, the 8gb or 32gb?…does it matter which.

  9. @mmmanny0 – The ipod touch 32gb features a faster processor, the 2nd generation iPod Touch had a ARM11 620MHz chip clocked down to 533MHz, however the 3rd generation iPod Touchs have the same chip as the iPhone 3GSs, which is an ARM Cortext-A8 833MHz clocked down to 600MHz.
