After seeing this video at Gizmodo, 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 dont have an ipod touch but ive heard of better battery life but no difference in processor speed.
 
Don't do it, iOS 4 is a slow piece of crap on iPod touch 2G.

+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?

Just restore.
 
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.🙂
