Looks like the "new" Touch has the same battery life, etc, so it appears from the specs page that it is identical to the touch that was introduced a year ago. If anyone sees ANYTHING different about the "new" Touch, please speak up.
faster processor, looks to be the same and can run OpenGL|ES 2.0 like the iPhone 3GS. I'm guessing the rumors were true and the camera hardware wasn't working right and at some point in the near future they will come out with a camera.
