When the iPod Touch was announced in September it was basically a multi-touch device with out a contract with AT&T and without the phone. So the iPod Touch was a good idea for people to have a hip trendy iPhone like player for a cheaper cost and no monthly payment.

However, over the past few months it has become quite a bit more… Now it can watch rented movies, legally have stock, notes, mail, weather, and maps applications, and to top it all of a new 32GB size. This has changed many people view on this jam-packed player and it is getting more and more popular over time.

Even the people at CNET have officially changed their iPod Touch Score out of 10 from a 8.3 to a 8.7. And this doesn’t even include the tons and tons of legal apps that will be added when the iPod Touch and iPhone SDK is released. The iPod Touch is here to stay and improve, although it is said to be unlikely of an update in September (when all other iPods are planned to be updated).
