The second generation iPod was introduced on July 17, 2002. New features included a touch sensitive click wheel and a sliding cover to protect the FireWire port. Both improvements were designed to help keep dust from entering the MP3 player, which was conceived to be an issue by some. A 20GB version was also added to the line up.
