iTouch 1st gen vs 2nd gen: My question is should I exchange it for the 2nd generation 16GB or 32GB version?

The second generation has an added volume rocker and a built-in speaker, which were previously iPhone-only features. The second generation also comes with the chrome frame seen on the iPhone 3G, it also is slightly thinner, has tapered edges, a longer battery life, built in Nike+ and comes installed with the 2.0 Software Update, although you can get it at the App Store for about $10.

The new one seems to have a bunch of different backing options, this is just white. Frankly if you are like 99% of folks you have a cover so doesn't matter. From what I recall the gen 2 has higher chip speeds, functionality... but we don't have one. I can say my 15 year old loves the gen 1 - developer edition. Has not noticed nor complained about this being slow in any way - so this one is totally good. And much cheaper as I recall. And unlocked / no bloatware (which means it can be faster even with a slower chip). Not having the Gen 2 its hard to say its worse than this - its probably better but this is great, particularly for the price.

The iPod Touch 4 is horrible. It is RAM starved, chugs like mad and is very prone to crashing on even simple internet browsing.If you're really into this device line, I'd strongly recommend upgrading. I am a little disheartened by the specs for the new price, but if it runs in the general ballpark of the iPhone 4S, which it's borrowing parts from, then it'll be a giant improvement for you

The tablet I purchased last spring is not a generation 2. I understand that the second generation has front and rear cameras. I would love that. I also understand that the second generation tablets are lighter. My tablet has a metal frame around the glass. Look for that; it's a plus for me. Compare your prices and the rating of your sellers.

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.

The one that I have lists the following models on the box:- iPhone 4 16GB,32GB- iPhone 3GS 8GB,16GB,32GB- iPhone 3G 8GB,16GB- iPod touch Gen4 8GB,32GB,64GB- iPod touch Gen3 32GB,64GB- iPod touch Gen2 8GB,16GB,32GB- iPod nano Gen5 8GB,16GBI am not sure why the storage capacity matters...I also do not know if the iPhone 4 adapter fits the 4S, but people seem to think so.

I love it because its small and thin. Its completely touch screen. The thing is awesome! Plus its got 16GB of storage for all of my music. Its an awesome iPod. Full functions of a standard size one too. Hope this helps!

My iTouch is up-to-date with iOS 6.1.3. Due to the hardware, it cannot upgrade to 7. Probably iOS 6 would be the end-of-the-line for 4th generation since they're not made anymore.

It's available at J&R now. I purchased yesterday for $149. Unfortunate for me Amazon continues to lower the price. I couldn't wait anymore. I like the sound and it works with my 2G iTouch (and it charges). I would recommend.

My ipod is approx 2 1/2"w x 4" tall & it fits. Not sure of the measurement of the first gen.

Two identical iPods wouldn't make much sense. But I have a full size Classic (for work) and I'm considering buying a Nano for the gym because it's smaller and lighter.

The 1st generation has a 4.5" screen; the 2nd generation update has a 5.0" screen. BTW I really like the case. It fits very well and although it doesn't have the bulk and thickness of some cases available, I am pleased with the protection it does provide.

I can agree with you with the size capacity. However in the design they probably had to go to flash to keep it smaller. And there was a 160gb iPod classic before they dropped the first iPod Touch with 8gb and 16gb.

No the 4th gen. iTouch is too skinny. But go to the otterbox website and they have 6/7 different case colors.

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

if they want to compete with Apple... seriously??? the Zune HD's 32 gb version is only 289.99... while the iPod Touch's 32 gb version is.... yup, a whopping $399.99, i dunno about you, but i think i would prefer the device that is $120 cheaper and with the same capacity ;) so tell me again how this won't compete with the iPod touch?
