2nd generation is quite capable

For all the arguing over what it should be, it's a good music and video player and applications work reasonably well.

It was surprising to me that the iPod touch was faster than the same generation iPhone. I read several users complain about choppy game performance from the 2nd gen iPhone. Game play is reasonable but battery life could be better.

I was disappointed that the Bluetooth inside was unused but it works well enough with iPhone OS 3.x, except for using the microphone on my Motorola S9 stereo headset. I'm hoping that they'll rememdy that soon, especially since that was the featured stereo headset in their advertising.

People can complain about the sound quality, but they're mobile devices. I have to be skeptical about any mobile devices sounding good, except on paper.

Well the Ipods has higher clockspeed then the Iphones:
The 2G Ipod is clocked at 533 MHz instead of 412 MHz for the Iphone 3G. And Ipod has less services to power.
