It was more heavily promoted as being a gaming device than its predecessors. The 3rd generation iPod Touch also introduced Voice Control and VoiceOver to the iPod Touch line. It was sold in 32 and 64GB configurations, while the 8GB was still the second generation product. It originally shipped with iPhone OS 3.1.1, but was supported up to iOS 5.1.1.
