The big new features in the latest Apple Nano and Touch players is the built-in accelerometer, which finds expression mainly in the new games and 'shake' to shuffle feature and Genius playlists that are also a feature of the required iTunes 8 software.

Genius playlists are saved directly onto your iPod Touch and with automatic syncing enabled in iTunes you can also transfer them back to your computer.

Oddly, the Touch's Genius feature won’t work if you haven't enabled Genius on your computer's iTunes software. A few could have problems enabling the iTunes' Genius (the feature tracks and reports your listening habits to Apple) then you'll need to live without the feature on your player.
