The Funnest iPod Ever: iPod touch 2g

The iPod touch just got updated, bringing its case design in line with the iPhone 3g's (though keeping the steel backside) and adding a couple of new features.

Available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB storage sizes, the iPod touch now has external volume controls on the side and integrated Nike+ support, which means the hardware that used to require a transmitter plugged into your iPod is now built in. It uses the accelerometer to follow your workout, playing music in time with your running and helping you keep track of your workouts over time.

The touch also gets Genius playlist support, which was announced for the new version of iTunes. You can now have your iPod Touch come up with smart playlists on the fly for you.
