1st generation iPod nanos were white or black with acrylic (plastic) faces and chrome backs, and came in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacities. ---- 2nd generation iPod nanos were aluminum all around, came in several colors (silver, blue, green, pink, red, black), and came in 2GB (silver & black), 4GB (silver, blue, green, pink, red), and 8GB (black and red only) capacities. In addition to the cosmetic difference from the 1st gen nanos, the 2nd gen nanos gained the capability to record audio via 3rd party devices such as the ExtremeMac micromemo iPod microphone. ---- 3rd generation iPod nanos (current as of this writing, 31 October 2007) are shorter and wider than their predecessors, have a brushed aluminum face with a chrome back, and come in 4GB (silver only) and 8GB (silver, blue, green, red, black) capacities. 3rd gen nanos gained the ability to play video content and iPod games, and have an updated user interface, as well.

Main difference is 3rd gen plays videos. gen 3 is shorter but wider, gen 2 costs more, buy gen 3. I have a Gen 2 and i love it, but i'd prefer the gen 3 instead.

I have a gen 3 and I reckon it is way better, the set out and look is nicer, and as before, it is also cheaper! Get a gen 3
in ipod nano it is what type of games it can hold the shape and memory. for ipod touch it is the size the 2nd gen is a little bit bulkier and stubier and it doesn't have a good airport or wi-fi but it still costs as much as a 4th genaration .

basically, Apple made an upgrade from the original iPod touch to the new one. The new one has better Wi Fi connectivity, a slimmer size than the old one, with built in speakers to boot. Being an iPod touch owner, I have to say it's a very good investment. If your looking for a new iPod, pick an 8 gig iPod touch up for 230$ and a 16 gig for 300$. Make sure you don' t break the screen, since it is easily broken! [hint buy a case for an extra 30$ bucks]

The generation of the iPod is the model. Every time Apple comes out with a new model of a certain iPod, that becomes the latest generation. As far as the original iPods go, the first generation is the one with the four buttons and the second generation was the first one to ever have a click wheel. They both have black and white displays.

The first iPod nano had a small screen and came in white and black. I could not play videos and came with only 2g.

The second and third nanos were like the first one only it came in a wide variety of colors.

The forth one was able to play videos and came in 8g and 16g. This one had a 2inch screen, larger than the other models

The new fifth one has a video camera , FM radio, speaker, and it can talk to you. It also had a bigger screen than the previous model by .2 of an inch. It doesn't sound like much but the iPod is small itself.
