Difference between 2nd generation and 3rd generation 8Gb iPod touch

Hello,

I recently won a 2nd generation 8Gb iPod Touch (Part No. MB528LL/A) that I would like to sell. I want to be able to tell the buyer the differences between the 2nd generation model and the 3rd generation model. According to Wikipedia in regards to the 3rd generation model:

"The 8 GB version is a reissue of the 2nd generation iPod touch hardware, includes OS version 3.x, but does not include support for Voice Control or the remote earphones with microphone."

According to Wikipedia in regards to the 2nd generation model:

"iPhone OS 2.0 and App Store access standard. Bluetooth support added but not made active until iPhone OS 3.0, which requires an upgrade fee."

Does anyone know if these statements are true? Are there any other differences? Is the 2nd generation model more or less desirable than the 3rd generation?

Thanks in advance!

They are the same.
Only diff is the OS they shipped with.
Only the larger ones changed from 2nd to 3rd gen.
Faster hardware, OS, etc.
