FINALLY!! I finally managed to get my hands on the best iPod ever a few weeks ago.. Its my second iPod to date and i've been waiting for Apple's iPod Touch 2g (second generation) for days for it to be available in Singapore after Steve Job announced it during the 'Lets Rock' September Event... After bout 3 weeks into using it, i've come to the fact that it is my 2nd best investment (on electronic gadgets) so far with the best being my macbook... It's really a must-have mobile entertainment gadget for year 2008!
I was totally like a small kid (all excited and stuff) after i bought it from an Apple Premium Reseller in Parkway Parade and straight went to Vivo to unbox it.. Haha..
Im an Apple Addict
The 16gb version is at S$498
Apple's iPod Touch 2g - "The funnest iPod ever"
What differentiate this generation from its predecessor is that it has an external volume control which is a major plus point. But the best addition is a much appreciated external speaker! which is a major major plus point.. Now you can show off a short youtube clip or the latest tunes to a group of ur friends without the hassle of sharing earphones! And some other improvements are longer battery life, thinner sleek design, and also the new 2.0 firmware which cost S$9.99 for an upgrade from the old iPod Touch..
Content of box: a small piece of wiping cloth, Universal dock adapter, usb cable, and the standard apple (mediocre) earphone.

Gotta connect to iTunes first for activation before it can be used..
Anyway, after a few days playing with my iPod, i noticed a defect.. basically the touch screen is not properly attached to the metal frame at the bottom left corner that when you press the surface of the Touch abit, it'll sort of bend down..
But Apple has very kindly replace me with a new one ( 1 for 1 exchange ) but not before i waited for about a week as they ran out of stock for the 16gb version.
So after the exchange, its like i got a new iPod again and still have the thrill to unbox it!.. Haha
