Comments on: What are the differences between the iPod touch 1st and 2nd generation? http://coapple.com/what-are-the-differences-between-the-ipod-touch-1st-and-2nd-generation/ And apple news rumors Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:21:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tony W http://coapple.com/what-are-the-differences-between-the-ipod-touch-1st-and-2nd-generation/comment-page-1/#comment-957 Tony W Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:12:13 +0000 http://coapple.com/what-are-the-differences-between-the-ipod-touch-1st-and-2nd-generation/#comment-957 Cosmetic differences: 1st generation has a black bevel and a flat metal back. 2nd generation has a contoured metal back and wraps around and forms the front bevel. It's Wi-Fi port is also more low profile and stylish with rounded edges. Hardware and software differences: 2nd gen comes with the 2.x updates. It also has an external speaker for casual listening. The accelerometer is also more functional then the 1st. One major difference though is the inability to jailbreak the 2nd gen meaning no 3rd party apps can be installed. There is hardly any graphical enhancements, calibration is the same, and it runs smoother on some apps such as calendar and maps and all of that. The Wi-Fi operates better in my oppinion, I had the 1st gen and nothing could be picked up at my house, then I got the 2nd gen and about 3 rooms in my house now gets service. 2nd gen also has an external volume rocker and screenshot capabilities. Oh and one more thing, the 2nd gen is thinner if at all possible. Cosmetic differences:

The battery life is improved, and it is a bit thinner. It is significantly faster than the 1st gen iTouch, and after the firmware upgrade, it is simply better. However, I don’t like the fact that you can’t jailbreak it as of yet. As soon as a jailbreak is released for the 2gen, then it will be perfect. Hope that Helped!

The 2nd gen iPod touch is also cheaper than the 1st gen. Apple has a video on the new things theyve come out with...you can watch it at apple.com, just skip to the part about the iPod touch. the 2nd generation iPod touch is slimer and has a built in speaker for “casual listening.” The 2nd gen iPod touch is also cheaper than the 1st gen.

It's the same cpu but clocked higher. Don't worry about battery life/heat, the 2nd gen ipod touch get's 36 hours of music vs 22 on the 1st gen.
