is it a lot thicker or just look that way? does it feel amazing in your hand? and does it ever get hot?
It's actually thinner than the first iPod touch. Where are you getting thicker?
It's actually a hair thicker in the middle, but it tapers, so the edges are much thinner than those of the original. Since the edges are what presses against your hand when you hold it, and since the edges are thinner, I find the device to feel thinner in my hand than the original. The curved back may make it look thicker, but for the most part, its thinner.
And mine hasn't gotten hot.
compared to 1g, how good does it feel in your hands
