The Second Generation iPod Touch had the same shape as the iPhone 3G, though it was thinner at just 0.33 inches thick. The Second Generation iPod Touch was distinct from its predecessor due to its redesigned shape and a host of new features and sensors, including a built-in accelerometer, integrated speakers, Nike+ support, and Genius functionality.

The iPhone had been out about 18 months when the first iPod Touch was released.
