When submitting an app to the app store what is the real difference between iPod Touch and iPod Touch 2nd generation?

+2  A: 

The first-gen iPod touch doesn't ship with iPhone OS 2.0, which is required to run App Store apps. End-users can purchase iPhone OS 2.0 for their first-gen iPod touch from Apple.

From an SDK perspective, I'm not sure what, if anything, has changed.

That's not really relevant, though, because you have to upgrade to 2.x to use the App Store. So everyone getting apps from the App Store is running 2.x.

Also, 2G iPod touches have microphone input capabilities and a built in speaker, as well as external volume buttons.

Also, the physical back of the device is curved, making it easier to hold.

The following:

  • Slightly thinner
  • Built-in support for Nike+
  • Volume bar
  • External speaker
  • Faster processor (533MHz vs 400MHz)
  • Supports new headphones with the microphone and volume control (allowing you to use VOIP apps)
