History

The second-generation iPod Touch was sold in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models. Two revisions of the device exist, with the first revision having a BootROM that was exploitable with 24kPwn and a larger device capacity label on the back.
On September 9, 2009, Apple introduced a revised version of the second-generation iPod touch under the MC model name, which was only available in an 8 GB variant. It featured a newer BootROM version which patched the 24kPwn BootROM exploit and has a smaller device capacity label similar to that of the third-generation iPod touch.

Features

The second-generation iPod Touch showcased a more rounded and sleek design, enhanced performance, and new features, including a built-in speaker, Nike+iPod integration, and the capability to download apps from the App Store with the initial release of iPhone OS 2.1.1.

Software

It originally shipped with iPhone OS 2 and fully supports iPhone OS 3 but has limited support for iOS 4, similar to the iPhone 3G, and did not receive support for home screen wallpapers and multitasking. Unlike the iPhone 3G, however, it did receive support for Game Center. iOS 4.2.1 is the last iOS version supported on this iPod touch model, which was released on November 22, 2010.
