iPod 1st generation or 2nd ????

[laina609]

How can you tell the difference btw the 1st or 2nd generation iPod??? My friend gave me one, and I want to jailbreak it but need to know what one it is.

Thanks

I have an un-opened one and I was wondering how I would tell what generation it is as well? Can I tell by the serial number or something?

It has a volume control on the side....but I know there is a third gen and I don't want to open it....

well if you got it from a retail store like best buy on or after sept.9 its a third gen (thats only for the 32 and 64 gb though)

Oh so they don't make a 3rd gen in 8gB?

[kobeshaneisback!]

nope,they "claim" iits 3rd gen but all the interior is exactly the same opposed to the different interior of the 32 and 64 gb
