iPod Touch 32GB

There are many positive things about the new generation of the iPod touch 32GB and some things that, in my opinion, could be improved on the iPod iTouch 16GB.

First the things that are fun about it. It has a back-lit and easy to read display and loud enough audio. The accelerometer based motions to control the navigation are easy and fun to use. You can connect to the application store and the music store through wireless to get any song you want and add it to your iTunes library.
Some built in applications include mail, web browser, a calendar and an address book.
The SDK is freely available so anyone can develop software for the iTouch.

Some items that could be improved include breaking with some 'made for iPod' devices. The stainless backplate looks cool but shows fingerprints and show scratches.
In the interface you can not setup playlists or search through the saved tunes. Once you get the music going, there are no default visualizers.
It would be useful to have FM radio or GPS but then there would be no reason to buy an iPhone if it has GPS.

Overall the Apple iPod iTouch 32GB or 16GB or 8GB is a great unit and a welcome device into any lifestyle.
