Steve stated this afternoon that there will indeed be a 2G iPod Touch ready for as early as this holiday season, which will feature the same touchscreen display, but in a smaller package. That’s right – Steve is making the iPod Touch lineup even thinner, and slicker, too, with a “contoured stainless steel design”.

“What’s different? We’ve integrated volume controls into the side. Built-in speaker… which is hard for something this thin… for casual listening… Genius playlist creation… and the App Store built in.”

“We’ve enhanced the UI, better artwork on albums. Of course it’s still great to watch video. The UI is even nicer. We’ve also built in Nike+ to the touch. The receiver is built in, you just need the transmitter for your shoe.” Hey, sounds good to me.

Steve goes on to say that “This is the funnest iPod ever. We think people will really like. We’ve got it in 3 models.” 8GB, $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399. All three are available today.
