Was the first implementation of 10gig in the iPod a 1G or 2G, I'm confused about which iPod we're talking about precisely. 😕

I think that it is referring to the first set of iPods with a touch scroll wheel, as the very original had a physical turning wheel. Then Apple released a 5GB and 10GB model with touch scroll wheels, but still had the control buttons on the rim of the scroll wheel. I had one of the 10GB iPod's, but have since upgraded to a 10GB 3G model.

some clarification here.
to my knowledge, apple had the 10GB introduced in march 2002 with the scroll wheel and the same thickness as the 5GB. then at macworld of 2002, the introduced a touch-wheel 10GB that is slimmer, and the 20GB. maybe the 10GB was always thinner than the 5GB, but i'm pretty sure it went how i just said. please, feel free to correct me.
