Then it's a second generation iPod touch, which can't be updated further.

Look on the back. You probably have either,
Model A1288 – The original iPod Touch 2 sold with iOS 2
Model MC086 – An “updated” iPod Touch 2 sold with iOS 3
An iPod Touch 3 is model A1318
An iPod Touch 2 can not be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
