whats the difference between a 2nd generation ipod touch and the original?

the 2g is much thinner,has a curved back,has speakers,has a volume control on the side,has an app store on i,its faster n way better than the 1g

the 1g has a squared back,doesnt have speakers,doesnt have volume control on the side,doesnt have an app store which sucks

i'll go with the 2g but there a new 3g coming this september so if ur goin to buy one just wait till september 2009 n it'll be more worth it

The 2G has the bevel back, making it slightly thicker yet greater mushy to hold on your hand, the 2G is likewise lighter. you additionally can use bluetooth headphones with the three.0 improve, to boot as Nike + iPod. once you're making plans on buying the two, WAIT. The iPod line will maximum possibly be refreshed in 5dbc98dcc983a7728bd82d1a47546eeptember or October, and it somewhat is rumored that the iPod touch 3G might have a digital camera and different enhancements.

You can play your music outloud without the headphones in 2nd generation (There is a speaker in the headphone jack that it allows it to play outloud. If you get a 2nd generation now you can get that and software 3.0 which allows you to download music, music videos, movies, rentals, and everything on the itunes store. You also get voice memos. Really not that much though. I would wait for 2010.
