hey guys this is Austin its ding huge the fourth episode of tech I like its name going to be talking about the iPod Touch 2nd generation and this is kind of special to me because this is how I started my channel so without this I probably never would have made my videos ever but of course it was also cool gadget too so let's go ahead and take a look what's kind of surprising is just how much things haven't changed so iPod Touch 2nd generation was released in 2008 and to be honest it's very very similar to the iPhones and iPods that we can buy today so it still has the exact same size screen has all the same home button sleepweight Rutan 30-pin dock connector everything is very very similar to what you'll find on a new device today the iPod Touch 2nd generation had a couple of major improvements over the first generation so to start with actually had a speaker so yeah the first generation iPod Touch did not have a speaker instead of had a this however you pronounce that it was a little bit thinner but the major new difference was I had an all-new tapered design somewhat similar to what you would find on the iPhone 3G then one thing that I didn't like on the iPod Touch 2nd generation and don't even like on iPods of today is the backing so it's very like a polished mirror finish I tell you what it is so easy to get scratched I mean it looks fantastic when you pull it out of the box but use it for about three seconds and it's gonna just look awful and then the thing was the app store now of course it's something we all take for granted today the first generation iPhone iPod Touch actually didn't have the App Store it wasn't until almost a year after they were released over the iPod Touch second-generation came with a day one and I don't think I have to tell you guys how big of a deal apps were of course you can buy an iPhone that cost six seven eight hundred dollars or you can buy a $230 I pod touch and play all the same games the apps all that kind of stuff it was a big deal unfortunately eppley longer supports the iPod Touch 2nd generation as the most recent firmware for it is 4.2.1 however that doesn't mean that it's not usable as in fact you can still do a lot on it so most in the Attucks you download from the App Store will still work on the iPod Touch in most games that all of them so if you get like some really graphically intense games it won't run but for the most part a lot of the more simple games will run on the iPod Touch 2nd generation no problem not bad considering it's got an amazing 500 megahertz processor and a jaw-dropping 128 megabytes of RAM not to mention it's over 3 years old now of course I can talk about the device all I like but the real reason why I love the iPod Touch 2nd generation because this is what got me my start on YouTube my first I'll be reviewing today is called AI te FPS so my very first video was an app review and what I did was I took screenshots of the apps I took a microphone that I stole from rock band and talked a little bit about the apps and that was it that was my very first video and you gets to check it out if you want if you want to be horrified beyond belief but yeah that's part of the reason why I do these tech I like series not maybe because this is the best technology ever or you know it was something that was life-changing but the stuff that I personally really liked and I would definitely have to put this in that category that's about it for this week's episode of tech I like you guys enjoyed definitely sure to stay tuned to the channel I do these every Saturday afternoon and to make sure you're notified whenever I post these videos be sure to subscribe to the channel hey guys thanks for watching
