GadgetSpoon - the new iPod Touch!
Courtesy of CNET
As I've mentioned before, I have an iPhone, but I have to say, the iPod Touch is sweet! The UI for the iPod Touch/iPhone is very intuitive and easy to use; simplicity. What I really dig about the iPod Touch, over the iPhone, is the size and the fact that there aren't any contracts involved! Ha. The original iPod Touch is very thin, apparently the new iPod Touch is every thinner; that's just amazing, to have so much functionality built-in such a small device.
With the App Store giving you access to thousands of applications and "hundreds of games" (Jobs), you can't go wrong with the iPod Touch - you'll find numerous uses for the device. According to Steve Jobs, the battery life of this guy is even 36 hours! 36 hrs of music or 6 hours video, to be precise.
Probably the best new feature of the updated iPod Touch is the price; inexpensive. They are making these products much more affordable than when they originally launched. If you are in the market for a new iPod or if you just want a new gadget, hit up your local Apple Store and pick one up.

GameSpoon - iPod Touch...best gaming device, eh?
GameSpoon...or would this be GadgetSpoon? - Industry News
Develop
Mr. Steve Jobs has announced that the iPod Touch is the best gaming device for the portable market - better than the DS and PSP. Technically speaking, yes, he is correct about that, but will it catch on?
The PSP is superior to the DS, technically speaking, but the DS is the greatest selling handheld gaming device in history. Technology is very important to the growth and development of the gaming industry, but it does not encompass everything; the quality of the game is not just measured by the level of graphics the game can provide, the gameplay itself is more important.
As an iPhone user, I know that the iPhone itself, has changed my own perspective of a "cell phone." The iPhone is NOT a cell phone - it is a computer; hands-down. It's just a really small computer.
I have no doubt in my mind that the iPhone/iPod Touch will simply fade away; I strongly belive that it could develop into a gaming device that could dwarf the technological boundaries that hold the DS and PSP back. Once again, how could the DS and PSP hold up against a full-fledged computer! However, will this take off?
Steve Jobs targets the iPod Touch - not the iPhone. Why? They are the same devices? In fact, the iPhone is superior to the iPod Touch in that it can actually make phone calls. I'll tell you why he targets the iPod Touch - because you don't need a 2-year contract to own one.
Maybe not today, maybe not this week, but very soon, the iPod Touch could be the next big handheld device. After all, a number of major developers are supporting the iPod Touch/iPhone - EA for example. Also, there have been developers who have started their own companies based around the iPod Touch/iPhone. It is safe to say, with Developer support like this, the iPod Touch and iPhone as gaming devices will not fade away...Nokia N-Gage anyone?
