The truth is there is only a 5th gen Ipod. There are two variations of that. The early one, or just plain old 5th gen, and the newer 5th gen whos proper designation from Apple is late 2006 5th generation ipod. Other sites will say 5.5 gen, but this is not correct. There is really no such animal. Go to this page and it should help. It will give you the serial numbers that identify which is which: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688#ipodfifth2
I went to eBay to buy a 30gb iPod and there are 4th,5th,5.5 and 6th generation iPod listed. The Apple site only shows 5th generation as the latest. Anyone know which it is?

Thanks for the help but what are the differences between the two 5th gen iPods?
The 'Late 2006' 5th Gen iPod has a brighter screen, longer battery life and a new search feature.
Excellent, thanks for the info
What is the latest generation iPod?
