The second iPod touch has a faster-clocked processor, built-in Nike+, a speaker, physical volume control, and is a tad smaller.
The second gen iPod Touch is better because it includes the volume rocker switch on the side. The idea of having to unlock my screen every time I want to increase or decrease my volume is what would pull me towards the second gen.

The ipod touch second generation is also cheaper with the exception of temporary sales at big box stores.
Temporary sales being until they can get rid of all of the first ones, that is. So the sale ends when they're all gone...
wow you guys are great this was my first post and already a couple of replys. i hope i can learn a lot from this forum. i think the im leaning towards the second touch. Even though its unlock able yet i believe it will be soon. what you think about the unlock ability. any more differences between them?
Correct.. and they are pretty much all gone. Which means if you want a first gen ipod touch, then start searching ebay and craigslist.
However, I have heard the built in speaker is just for games, etc. NOT MUSIC
That makes no sense whatsoever.

Sorry... what I tried to imply was that i heard the built in speaker was crappy and Apple designed it for stuff like games and not casual listening like music.

I realize now that my sentence made no sense whatsoever.
In saying that, I meant that it would make no sense for the speaker to only work for non-iPod functionality. I'm pretty darn sure you can listen to music on it.

O of course!!You can definitely listen to music on it! Lol!
Sorry about the mis-communication there. I just heard that if you are planning on using the built in speaker for music, you can forget it.this topic was started to help me and other understand the differences between the two. so if anyone has any more information about the two i would appreciate it. i did decide on which one i want and that will be the ipod touch 2nd gen. thanks
