Shaye87 · 10 Sep 2008 at 16:18

Hey there,
I want to buy an ipod touch now, and i heard that there are new ones coming out soon, so should i wait or buy the current ones? what's the differences?

thanks

Well I think that you might be in luck. Rumour has it that just yesterday apple released version 2 of the ipod touch. Check out the apple site for details.

i am there and can not notice anything that mention the differences between the "old" ones to the news ones.

if i place an order right now i will get the "new" model for sure?

Deffo, it would be a wee bit cheeky to send you an old one. Once they have a new line out, the old line wont be sold any more through the apple site apart from in the refurb section. What size are you going for?

Shaye87 · 10 Sep 2008 at 16:36

the 16GB.
and i will place an order right now if so.

cheers

Nice, im looking at getting something like that for the missus for her birthday in a few months so if you could give me your oppinion on it that would be sweet.

Ha!

I just stuck my 32GB for sale in the MM as I don't use mine that much and like a little school girl I'm tempted to buy this for no good reason >_<

My new 32gb iTouch2 should be here today

yay for shiny Apple goodies.

what's an iTouch?

I just fixed my old touch (needed a new screen) so I guess I'll be hanging on to it for a while. Got the software update though

CocoPops · 11 Sep 2008 at 13:23

yay!!
It's here!

It's a wonderful looking piece of kit as ever.
Packaging is awesome.

Just syncing it up now, had already downloaded some apps via the appstore in itunes in readiness

Packaging is awsome ?

Unless they gone back 5 years, the current packaging is very "environmental friendly" and its very plain to me, I wouldn't say awesome.

CocoPops · 11 Sep 2008 at 13:59

yep, crafted plastic box, even a "pointless" plastic tray, all in nice clear abs plastic.

far "nicer" looking than the large cardboard boxes they used to come in.

Raymond Lin · 11 Sep 2008 at 14:05

Any pics?

Same. Very tempted to get it even though my 2Gb Nano isn't full! Just want all the iPhone goodness without the phone function

Also on a side note. Now that the App Store has been out awhile, do you guys still Jailbreak your iPod Touches? Just seems like there are quite a few good apps for free on the Store already.

I'm tempted and I already have an old 8GB one.. love it to bits..

Doohickey · 13 Sep 2008 at 05:28

I am the proud owner of a shiny new 16Gb one and it's beauuuutiful

What's the thickness difference between the gen 1 Touch and the gen 2 one?
