2nd gen has:

1) Displayed colour balance on 2nd gen is "warmer". 1st gen is cooler.

2) 2nd gen has rounded edges, 1st gen has squarer edges.

3) 2nd gen has physical external volume control and speaker. 1st gen has neither

That's pretty much it.

In addition to the above posts:

G1 can work with 5V or 12V (USB and FW) chargers. G2 will only work with 5 V (USB) chargers. If you have old iPod accessories, you may not be able to use then with the G2.
