Apple posts 2nd generation iPod touch ad


With the introduction of the new iPod touch, Apple has posted a new ad (shown off in the keynote) demoing the new features. Amazingly enough, they choose to show off mostly 3rd party applications -- and mostly games, at that.

This ad makes Apple look as though they're treating the iPod touch as a portable gaming machine, not an iPod or music device. They don't even show off the Genius feature, or new firmware features.

You can watch the ad by visiting Apple's website.


Update: Thanks to Nate (commenter below) for giving us the song being played in the video. It's Around the Bend by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour.

I'd like a list of all the game featured. Anyone care to take a cut at this?

I've tried to find the song. Shazam works to no avail, unfortunately. Must be some new indie band that hasn't been identified.

I second what Jon B said. Anyone know what tune is playing?

They don't need to mention music, because it's an iPod — everyone already knows it does music.
