After seeing this video at Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/5569969/iphone-3g-owners-you-might-want-to-hold-off-on-ios4), I'm a little hesitant in upgrading my friend's second generation iPod touch. Have any of you upgraders seen any major difference in speed? Thanks.

I've noticed a increase in performance with my iPod touch 2nd generation, but battery life is about the same.

Don't do it, iOS 4 is a slow piece of crap on iPod touch 2G.

Launch times are much greater, and games drop frames like crazy, don't even try to play Tap Tap Revenge, for example.

+1 on this! I have had 4 diffrent occasions where my ipod has crashed while just switching songs. The only big change I have found is the way an album is laid out when selecting songs. As of right now I wish I had not upgraded. Anyone know a way back to 3.1.3?

The first time I used it after the upgrade, it froze. But after, it has felt faster everywhere. Quitting apps, loading apps, zomming in/out of webpages.

I can't say about the battery life, I haven't used it much. But it definitely feels faster.:)
