According to Handheld Games, the 2nd generation iPod touch is the fastest model “by far” with respect to 3D gaming. I guess Steve Jobs and Apple are pretty serious (and accurate) when they say that the new iTouch is the funnest iPod ever. 2G iPod touch Faster Than Apple iPhone 3G Source: macrumors.com
