Apple just updated the iPod touch with a new thinner stainless steel case — it’s still got the same display. There’s now hardware volume controls and a built-in speaker, and a Nike+ receiver is also built in, so you just need the shoe transmitter. On the software side, the UI has been refined and the new iTunes Genius features have been added, and the App Store is now included. Battery life is decent at 36 hours of music and 6 hours of video. Three price points: 8GB for $229, 16GB for $299, and 32GB for $399.
