The 2G iPod touch is about 30% more powerful than the original iPod touch and was the first one with Bluetooth. It was also the first iPod touch with volume buttons and a built-in speaker.

The 2G iPod touch was the first one to ship with iPhone OS 2, so it came with full support for the App Store and third-party apps.
