My Friend is trying to sell off some of his old tech and I'm thinking of buying his iPod touch 2G for development purposes, is it still supported in any way (i.e. will I find any dev kits that will build to it)?

Answer 1

Using a 2nd gen iPod touch is only useful if you wish to download old versions of Xcode and you only want to learn 2-year old iOS app development.

If you want to learn modern iOS development then you need an iOS device that runs iOS 6.0 or later. This requires at least a 4th gen iPod touch, iPad 2, or iPhone 3GS.
