    The iPod touch 2nd generation can be distinguished from original iPod touch models by its contoured design and oval shaped antennae cover in the back upper left corner. It also has a volume rocker key on it's side. This can be updated to OS 3.1 by itunes

    iPod touch third generation gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics using OpenGL 2.0 - it also has extra features like Voice Control. You can have the OS 3.1 pre-installed when you buy it.

    to see the difference between 2nd gen. and 3rd gen.. go into your settings, general and about. if your model code starts with MC you have the 3rd gen.

    there is NO 3rd gen. 8GB its a starter model and still the 2 gen. spec, only the 32 and 64 GB are in the 3 gen., the 8 and 16GB (if you can get it) are still 2 gen. models.

    The difference between a 2G & 3G iPod touch is more internal than external.

    The 3rd gen has

    600 MHz (200 MHz more)

    256 MB RAM (2x more)

    which makes it faster than its predecessor

    the 3rd gen touch has NO camera.

    the only thing about the 3rd Gen touch is that it uses the same internal stuff (processors, graphics engine and RAM) as the iPhone 3GS. Although it has a slightly lower battery life, it the 3rd gen touch has Voice control.

    not a big difference, the graphics processor in the new iPod touch has OpenGL ES 2.0 capability. and 50% faster.(so they say)

    and comes with the latest firmware, don't have to pay $10 for it

    and there is NO CAMERA @ the other person
