iPod Touch Great for Gaming! Well, Except for the 8GB Version

"Those considering the iPod touch for gaming might want to steer clear of the not-so-new 8GB model, which is just last year's model with a lower price. The best gaming performance will come from OpenGL ES 2.0-capable hardware, which is only included in the pricier 32GB and 64GB models."

You can really tell the difference in the comparison video shown on YouTube, where the frame rate on the older processor is about a 1/3 of what it is with the newer one. Most that own the 8GB version won't even notice a problem, and not that there really is one, it's just that once you see the comparison you really see what you are missing.
