The 2nd generation iPod Touch will feature a thinner design with more similarities to the 3g iPhone, a separate volume control button on the side, a built in speaker, and software that includes the new genius playlist generation featured in the new iTunes 8.

The new iPod Nano will get 24 hour playtime for music and 4 hours for video, and an upgrade to 8gb and 16gb memory. The new iPod Nano will also be available in 8 different colors.
