First impressions:
- -visually identical to 2g iPod Touch
- -comes with earbuds with built-in microphone and controls
- -large speed increase
- -flawless voice control
- -new accessibility features that include voice-over, inversion of colors, and zoom features
- -no volume increase in speaker
- -no built in camera or microphone :(
- The new 3g iPod Touch's most amazing feature, in my opinion, is the voice control. I've never encountered anything that works so seamlessly. I've never once had to repeat myself while using voice control.
- Another fantastic feature is the speed increase. It is at least 50% faster. For more information on speed watch this video: YouTube

Final Thoughts

- The accessibility features are okay, at best. Zoom seems pointless, unless you have really bad eyes.
- The inversion of colors is neat looking, but not helpful.
- Never under any circumstance use voice-over; it is practically impossible to turn off and extremely annoying!
- Zoom is great for people who have trouble reading small text.
- Inversion of colors is awesome for people who are color blind.
- Voiceover is indeed very annoying, but when you have trouble reading menus, it's great to be able to have text read to you.
- There is no built in video camera or microphone
- While this marketing decision made by Apple may be disappointing to some, it cut down on the price
- On top of adding to the price, the addition of a camera may have made the iPod Touch thicker
Final Thoughts
- While the speed increase is fantastic, don't upgrade solely on that note.
- If you are finding that 8GB just isn't enough, then you should definitely upgrade to the 32GB.
- Gamers will definitely want to upgrade for the speed increase.
