Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • App Store access means lots of new toys to play with
  • Still the one to beat in terms of interface and ease of use
  • Feels better in the hand than the original
  • Sleeker and sexier
The bad:
  • Some features require the purchase of accessories
  • Can't store files via drag-and-drop
  • Audio via speaker is pretty ordinary
The bottomline:

Not just an excellent media player — the addition of third-party apps makes the second-gen Touch the portable device to beat in a wide range of areas.

Editors’ rating:

8.8/10

RRP: AU$329.00
