This speaker is different even from that inside its cousin the iPhone, which of course needs to put its audio driver in a fairly predictable spot, for conversations and such. The more tapered lines of the steel housing however give it a slenderer feel in the hand, despite the other hardware enhancement, an internal speaker. It also managed to collect a few crumbs in the narrow gap at its perimeter, but that's probably my fault for eating so many Triscuits while conducting my tests. While virtually identical in dimensions and weight, the look and build has changed to incorporate a new stainless steel back that now continues uninterrupted to more securely encompass the glass screen, adding structural integrity and strength, as compared to the separate beveled ring on the first generation. Never let it be said that consumer discord falls on deaf ears at Apple. In keeping with its radical design dynamic, the original touch offered no hard volume control buttons, rather adjustments had to be made via the touch-screen interface, frustrating for some, leading to one of the most significant updates to the hardware: volume up/down keys on the edge, perfectly positioned for the left thumb. The 3.5-inch screen is still the largest on any iPod, with the widest aspect ratio as well. The recently issued second generation of iPod touch maintains all that was good about the original while pushing the concept even further. It was also revolutionary in its use of a "Multi-Touch" screen on a portable entertainment device, for unbelievably direct (and wicked-cool) control of all functions. The slender flash-based multimedia player was reminiscent of the iPhone, released earlier that year, but lacking telecommunications and therefore less expensive. With the autumn 2007 launch of those newest iPods, Apple introduced a completely new sub-category with the iPod touch.
