So I just bought about 2 month ago an ipod touch with only 8GB assuming that the 8GB is a 3rd Generation ipod. I asked the sales associate in the store where I bought the device if my new ipod was 2nd or 3rd generation, the person working in store said that 2nd and 3rd generation ipod are all the same except of their memory capacity and build in speakers with 3rd generation and if I so desperate to have speakers I could buy them separetely only for $30 and somethings.
Yesterday I was checking my daily news on internet and I found out that with the new release of iphone 4G there is a new firmare that I read only available with 3rd generation ipod touches.
I contacted bestbuy store if they receive ipod touches with receive and original packaging except it’s already open. for me to buy a 3rd generation ipod because I’m not really good at technology. But because I bought my ipod about 2 months ago and warranty is only for 30 days I am doomed.
Still I the option to return my almost new ipod to apple store (sending it somewhere with my money included).
I know that new update for ipod touch is not very major because you still can jailbreak your ipod with “cydia” software and still get the same results as the new firmare is going to, but with cydia the warranty of 1 year of ipod touch 2nd generation dies automaticaly after jailbreaking.

Still I am pretty sure that there is coming probably a new better version ipod than 3Genaration so if I buy it a 32gb now after I would regret it for sure.
