The second generation iPod touch is somehow even better than the first.
It does do that typical apple slow turn-on/off as soon as you have loaded any files onto the hard drive but you can live with this. And since this is the only thing that annoys me about it, it truly is a good buy for the price.

On to the many advantages:
- It maintains the typical iPod look and features that would be expected from an iPod;
- The new version is sleeker and comes with the most recent software - allowing games to be downloaded and used off line - unlike the webapps of the first generation.
- The display is a good size and the fact that it can be viewed both horizontally and vertically allows for ease of use and good viewing.
- I have had no problems and as mentioned the only negative is the slow start up!

Overall very good for the price.
