Why on earth would people call a 2G a three 3G? Just because it got a firmware update?

That's just the way people started calling it since it was "re-released" at the same time as actual 3G models.

32GB 3G are going for much more than I'm willing to spend, so it's looking like a question of is whatever I'm being sent going to be adequate for my purpose, or do I just return it and get her the DS.
I guess I can't really decide until I get it and try it, but I'd still like to hear comments.

As far as CPU goes, iPhone 2G/3G ~= iTouch 1G < iTouch 2G < iPhone 3GS ~= iTouch 3G < iPhone 4 ~= iTouch 4G. I don't have an iTouch 2G but I do have a 1st gen iPhone which has the same processor as the 2G model except clocked 23% slower. It is considerably slower than the iPhone 3GS. I don't play games much but webpage loading (wifi), opening apps and loading ebook on Stanza is noticeably slower on the iPhone 2G than the 3GS. Pretty sure the older model doesn't have the improved graphics hardware, too.
Hmm, too bad you missed the sale on refurb iTouch 3G 32GB on the Apple Store. As I recall, they were going for $150 and Apple refurbs look and work good as new and come with the same 1 year warranty as brand-new products.
My suggestion, just return the iPod Touch 3G 8GB and get her the DSi.
