Why 2nd generation?

Just curious why they didn't send a 3rd gen model to review. They have the same processor as the iPhone 3gs and come in 32 or 64 gb (the "new" 8 gb version is simply a repackaged 2nd gen). Why review the 2nd gen now when it's already quite a bit outdated?

OSNews is not a big site like engadget or gizmodo, so we can't always secure devices right when they come out directly from the manufacturer. Geeks run a shop that have both new and refurbished older devices, so this way we are at least able to get some of these devices for a review -- at some point.

The only way to review the 3rd Gen. iPod would be for the editor to buy it from his/her own pocket (since OSNews doesn't usually expense these).

Maybe we will do the 3rd gen. review next year. ;-) ;-)

I'm reviewing my iPhone 3GS for OSNews too in the coming days.
