ipod touch 2nd generation vs a 4th generation

[otonoh]

I am looking to purchase a touch for my teenager.

the 4th generation has face talk and is a bit faster. Other than that I don't see a huge difference. He has a phone and the face talk only works if his friends have it. Any thoughts. The price difference is about 70 dollars. Also I didn't pay attention to them last year. Do touches usually go on a good sale or should I snatch one up now if it goes on sale. I honestly don't want to stand in line for 12 hours in 10 degree weather for a chance of getting one out of 8 touches available.

 

thanks.

we have the 2nd generation and my son is getting the 4th for Christmas. 4th gen has a lot more features that the 2nd doesn't If I were you I'd go with the 8GB 4th gen. It's 229.00 at Best buy right now and you get a free GPS system with your order... awesome deal.

Oh and make sure if you order it says 4th generation newest model.
