Good question.

Yes, I have the 2nd Generation 8 GB iPod touch but was under the impression that technically the 8 GB version was not upgraded (only the 16 GB and 32 GB version) so that it was in reality a 1st gen model (hence some software that required "2nd generation ipod touch" only worked on the 16GB and 32GB models.) I now see that I was mistaken and that this refers actually for the upgrade from 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen (that the 2nd Gen 8GB model did not receive) so I have now learned that I have actually a 2nd Gen model - sorry for confusing the thread!

Best regards,
Andy

(As a sidenote, the 480x320 pixel display does not predestine the iPod touch as a bookreader anyway - I use it mainly as a fallback option when my Kindle Fire and iPad are in use by my kids).

PS: FWIW, wikipedia mentions system 3.1.3 as highest upgrade for the 1st generation iPod touch
