New iPod touch, no GPS?

I for one was really hoping for GPS in the new iPod Touch, but it seems that didn’t make Apple’s list of necessary updates. Actually, not a whole lot has changed since the device’s first generation.

What did make the update list was a thinner case, yes, thinner. Just when you thought the iPod touch was anorexic, they make it thinner! And somehow they managed to fit a speaker in there, with volume controls. Still no mic though. It’s curved, like its brother the iPhone 3G.

Also added to its feature list is Nike+ support! That’s a nifty feature. And of course, the new Genius feature that Apple is going to force you to love.

Battery life clocks in at 36 hours for music, and 6 hours for video. It comes in three flavors 8Gb for $229, 16Gb for $299 and 32 GB for $399. And you don’t have to wait, they are available today!

And let’s not forget about what’s next… Firmware Update 2.1! Stay tuned…
