Apple KB article: Identifying iPods

There are so many different models of iPods with differing iterations of software on them that it is tough to keep them all straight (even for a big deal Apple pundit like myself). Fret no longer, because this Apple KB article sets you straight on how to tell a first gen iPod from an iPod photo from an iPod mini.

That's not all, it also includes the most current version of the iPod software that runs on each model (this really illustrates Apple's strategy of releasing cool new iPod features but only letting the new software run on the latest models).

with the mini, the second generation models also have richer exterior colours

eh, the mini is super easy because of the colored buttons on the scroll wheel. You don't even need to turn it over to look at the HD size.

I thought I'd 'test' this by comparing the 1st and 2nd gen iPod Minis and its almost impossible using the article. The only thing really distinguishing them that is shown is the release date, and for the 6GB model the HDD size.
