High-quality unboxing photos of Apple's second-gen iPod touch
The new second generation iPod touch is not only thinner itself, with a rounded, polished aluminum back, but it also ships in a simpler, smaller case as well, just like the Nano. It also introduces Genius playlist creation, audio recording features when used with a mic, and a built in Nike+ iPod receiver.The new iPod touch ships with standard headphones; Apple will release two headphone options next month that include a mic and playback/volume controls: a standard earbud pair for $29 and a premium dual driver, in ear set for $79.

Those are macro shots....
We need a better lighting setup, yes. My apologies.

Looks like you need to invest in a can of compressed air too to blow off your lens and the iPod.
And why are you picking on my 3rd Gen iPod in those pics.

And why aren't you comparing it to the original iPod Touch????

That's what I was looking for and expecting as well.
If you really want to see some "unboxing", go to the hard shit:

Once nice little nugget in the teardown is that the new touch contains a Bluetooth chip.

And an FM chip? Interesting little bits, to be sure.
what i'm interested in is why Apple decided to change the packaging.
I prefered the packaging I got with my first gen touch, much more iPhone like :]
The Bluetooth is more interesting since it would share the WiFi antenna, so it possibly could be enabled, unless Apple disabled it. On the other hand the FM receiver would have to be connected to the headphone as an antenna (or some other antenna).
I have to say its pretty frustrating when Apple includes the hardware for features people would enjoy but doesn't support them.
