That is not a recessed jack, it simply curves with the body of the iTouch. Any standard headphones will still work, regardless of size or shape. Try it out for yourself before you bash on it, it will save you a lot of headaches.

Yeah it's not recessed. The whole thing is just so bloody thin
I think a MacWorld editor said it's not as good or as loud as the iPhone.
Jobs even stated, "It's for casual listening.", while using air quotes. then he said it's not for audiophiles. This is rare in marketing to point out how lackluster an feature is, but in this case the fact that it is a feature is good enough.

Does anyone remember was the previous run time was?
1st Gen was 5 for video and 22 for audio. That is a 20% increase in video and 64% increase in audio playback.
It's not thicker, Steve said the iPhone 3G was tapered but thicker in the center, he said the new touch was indeed thinner, even at the center.
Nope- it's thicker. Check the spec sheets. We're talking all of half a mm thicker, but still it irks me that people are spreading misinformation that it is thinner when it ain't.

From what I heard from Chris Breen's comments, it's not just the quality of the audio (nothing that size is going to be that great in quality), it's also the amplitude. It's quiet and doesn't take much to drown it out.

Thought they made a big deal about getting rid of the recessed thingie on the iPhone.
But now they have Apple-branded headphones to sell you.
Isn't that a bad thing? Thought they made a big deal about getting rid of the recessed thingie on the iPhone.
Yes, those exclamation marks were "not" meant to convey enthusiasm, lol.
This is just one of those examples of Apple being retarded. Don't mention it's a good business move or I'll punch you all!
F*#k the iPhone comparisons.
Those are macro shots....
We need a better lighting setup, yes. My apologies.
Best,

There seems to be a few angles/views that you may have forgotten:
Standing on short side
Standing on long side
Balancing on the corner
Floating in mid-air
What a bunch of Whiners!

The shape looks a lot like the new iPhone jack, which is not recessed.

Please tell me it's not that thin?!!

Did you retract a reply to me?

It's not- actually slightly thicker then the last gen. You're just seeing the tapered edge.
theres resume of the comparation:
More memory for the same price..
New Model with more memory (32G)
New Design (Slimmer)
Nike+ Included
Sound controler on the side
Audio Speaker (I was waiting for this to play without headphones)
More battery capacity
-6 hours Video
-36 Hours Music
Etc Etc..

forgive me, but how is that possible?
I assumed it scaled with 6 hours of audio = 1 hour of video
