They changed quite a couple of things on the inside. You might think that you can swab parts from the 4th monochrome over to the 4th photo, but in most cases this won't work. For example: Apple changed the headphone piece. The one of the 4th photo is a bit smaller. It also features a different capacitor in shape and size. The bottom piece (where you attach the 30 pin connector) is also slightly changed. The actual logicboard has different attachments for the display (obviously), the click wheel, and also the headphone piece. What stayed the same is the audio decoder. Apple changed it with the 5th generation and, again, with with 5.5th gen ipods.
However, I guess nobody of you collectors opened them and looked inside.
I did, because I love using them.

Don't flatter yourself! I've opened plenty as I'm sure many others also did!

I was talking about features guess I should have been more clear I am sorry seeing as I assumed the original question was asking about features I guess thats what I get for assuming lol

Oh I see I haven't compared the first gen and the 2nd gens boxes so I can't tell which ones which yet

Its easy really!
First gen sleeve says "iPod" with serif typeface. No hard drive size and no orange colored fields. If you look at the serial number it should say U2228XXXX. If the last two digits are greater than 28 its a second generation and the box should look like a second generation box. The purists also claim that all iPods produced after week 11 2002 are 1.5 generations
The box interior is made out of white styrofoam.
A second gen sleeve says "iPod" with non-serif typeface. The box are white, gray and orange. You can see the HDD size on the box (5, 10, 20 gig) and if its for Mac or PC. Interior translucent plastic.
Here's a pic (not mine) of the first three generations if iPods and a mini

Oh ok thanks
Never did answer this did I? Well hands down the Harry Potter edition without any doubt
I'm also looking for the 2Gs that were engraved with Beck, Madonna, Tony Hawk and No Doubt. These ARE impossible to find! I haven't even seen a picture of one outside apple.com
Anyone else perhaps?
Didn't they release an iPod Photo as a separate product that was sold with 30GB and 60GB capacities alongside the original iPod 4th gen monochrome and then at some later time (summer of 05 I think) they merged them in to one product line? My first iPod was a colour screen 4th gen with 20GB capacity so I know that it wasn't officially an iPod Photo
Yes, you are correct, but it was a 40GB and a 60GB model
My list wasn't chronological...
