Thesecond-generation iPod Touch (marketed as "the new iPod Touch" and colloquially known as theiPod Touch 2G oriPod Touch 2) is a multi-touch mobile device that was designed and marketed byApple Inc. with atouchscreen-baseduser interface. At Apple's media event on September 9, 2008, the company showed off and released the successor to the first-generation iPod Touch. Its introduction marked an important step in Apple's evolution of portable media devices, appealing to a broader audience of music and technology enthusiasts.
The second-generation iPod Touch was sold in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models. Two revisions of the device exist, with the first revision having aBootROM that was exploitable with 24kPwn and a larger device capacity label on the back.
On September 9, 2009, Apple introduced a revised version of the second-generation iPod touch under the MC model name, which was only available in an 8 GB variant. It featured a newer BootROM version which patched the 24kPwn BootROM exploit and has a smaller device capacity label similar to that of thethird-generation iPod touch.[2]
The second-generation iPod Touch showcased a more rounded and sleek design, enhanced performance, and new features, including a built-in speaker,Nike+iPod integration, and the capability to download apps from the App Store with the initial release of iPhone OS 2.1.1.
