Difference between 1st gen and second?

[edward69]

When I downloaded a game on itunes, it said iPhone and iPod Touch (second gen) compatible. What is the difference between the first and second? I thought there was none?

(Ive been out of the iPod scene for a while now... So I dont know...)

Also, where is the 'compatibility' information stored in the ipa? What if I were to change the compatibility? What would I need to change? Is it even possible? :O

?#1-2: The second generation iPod touch added Nike+ functionality, volume buttons, built-in speaker, App Store, Bluetooth support, support for external microphone added, more storage, better battery. More (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPhone_and_iPod_Touch_models)

?# 3-6: not sure, but good question.

If you want to know how to edit the IPA to trick iTunes into allowing the install/sync of the app to a device that is otherwise marked as "unsupported," I figured out how to do this a while back and posted the instructions over on this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=632637).

It does not require the device be jailbroken nor does it involve "cracking" the app in any way...this works with properly-purchased and signed apps from the App Store.

Also, if you have a first-gen iPod and not an iPhone, you might want to use the appropriate forum next time. :)

Good luck,

That is all that is different, different processor added a speaker
the external speakers and (maybe a faster wifi) and the first is easier to JB.
