iPod touch 3G, worth the upgrade?

Is it really worth upgrading from a 2G to a 3G? I can cover a lot of the cost by selling my old iPod, but it will still leave me a good $100-150 (AUD) out of pocket.

By the way, I would like the opinion of someone who has actually upgraded.

It has an FM module (Not supported yet) and a most likely slightly faster processor than the 3GS. (It has the successor of the 3GS processor)

3GS has 339S0073ARM, Ipod 3G has the 339S0075ARM.

I for one will wait until the next generation is out next year before I upgrade from my ipod 2g.

not worth it at the moment, you wont see MUCH games at all utilizing the new technology untill the next iphone is out because by then most people would have switched over

but as of now, most people are on the 'old' tech still

hold off one more year

Good point, your have 1GEN and 2GEN Touch and iPhone out there, and devs to make two versions of an APP or GAME for to models, is just nuts.
Save your self the dough and wait. I felt the same way, new ipod I had to have it, not this time, I'll wait!

Based in my experience if going from a 1st Gen iPhone to a 3Gs, I would say that if you have a 1st Gen iPod Touch you will be stunned at the difference the new processor and graphics make on the 3rd Gen -- even in games not specifically designed for it. As an example, Katamari went from unplayable to pretty great in the 3Gs. IMHO the upgrade is definitely worth it for 1st gen iPod Touch owners.
