I agree, that is the same setup I have.

I have a jail broken 2nd gen 16 gig ipod touch that I connect to my Verizon unlimited data connection with WMwifirouter.

Yes, I have. I have a universal mount in my car, a VERY high end sound system (most people dont understand the term audiophile, but rest assured, if there is a system that can make your head explode using bouth volume AND clarity, it is installed in my car), and all the correct cabling to use the iphone, touch pro, or touch pro 2.

I have used the iphone, touch pro, touch pro 2, and an itouch all side by side in my car, with the stereo set to the same volume, eq, etc, meaning the only difference is the device playing the music. The touch pro ranked last. It needed some work, but it was not horrible. The itouch and iphone both had the same quality, and they both had the same problem. When the volume on the iphone is maxed out it creates alot of distortion in the signal, so you have to run the volume lower on the phone and crank the amp higher. Other than that, sound quality was fine. The touch pro 2 has no issues with maxing the volume, no issues with distortion, no issues with slow song change, no issues whatsoever. Furthermore, it has a better frequency response than the iphone. the iphone/itouch lack some of the highs and lows that really make a good sound system shine, the touch pro 2 delivers them fully, without a hitch.

These tests were performed using a jailbroken iphone 3gs, itouch v2 (not jailbroken), touch pro with silence 6.5 utilizing windows media player, and touch pro 2 with mighty rom utilizing the tf3d player.

Bottom line is, the touch pro 2 is the best sounding mobile media device i have ever heard, and dont get me wrong, the iphone sounded good until now.

Iphone's web browser is better than the tp2 mostly. Overall, I'de rate tp2 a better total package. Does almost anything better, with the exception of web browsing, and it's no slouch in that regard. Both phones are solid phones, but I'de take the TP2 with equal service any day.

The keyboard, internet sharing, and sync options put it over the top. Interesting feature I have not used is remote desktop. Havent tried it and dont know about vpn's working on the phone.

Yup, Mobile Safari is very nice.
Also wish we had the App store... Actually let me rephrase that. Wish we had an App store with the same prices.

Re: Why is TP2 better than iphone
 

that kind of surprises me, I think I'll have to try that myself.

I have a pretty high end audio sound system myself (I use to own a stereo shop & we sold/installed competition grade mobile audio stuff)

I have both a jail broken touch & the TP2, but I have never compared the two side by side hooked to a killer stereo....

I can't compare the iPhone's audio quality, but up until I pawned it back in february, I had an iPod & I can say the TP2's audio far surpasses it.

I like NOT being handcuffed by iTunes, and I like being able to use any mini usb cable.

Re: Why is TP2 better than iphone
 

Oh definitely. iTunes is absolutely terrible.
