ipod touch 1st/2nd Generation

[dieseldave]

Can any one tell me or a web site link to the difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation ipod touch.

Gen2 has side volume control buttons and built-in speaker (although that's not particularly useful for listening to music), plus chrome rear. I think it has a mic input also, can't remember...

Welcome by the way, interesting 1st post

The ipod touch 2g has a number of advantages. The two that make the biggest difference for me are the volume buttons and the inbuilt bluetooth. It can communicate over bluetooth with stereo headphones - no wires! Also while there isn't a built-in microphone, the 3.5mm socket can take a microphone input so you can use it for Skype etc.

Great little device (although it's really making me want an iphone).

Should have put the ipod touch money toward an iphone then

ooh I forgot the Bluetooth bit; I've just sold my 1gen and replacing with a 2gen, which I'm getting in a few days from a friend who has acquired an iPhone.

Does mean I need a different case though, for the shape/volume buttons
