Just reconfirmed. The ordering will show Part F8513LL/A - which is a refurb 1gen 5GB. When I checked the receipt through Order Status, it came up with Part F8737LL/A - which is a refurb 2gen 10GB.
That is kind of surprising that they are bringing it back for sale. I thought they would have stopped making things that were 3+ years old with multiple revisions and sell the latest model, with the 2nd to latest in the sales area while supplies last.
And it also indicates that the HDD-based iPods may exist for yet another generation, I suppose, to cater to the high capacity crowd. A unibody iPod "classic" design would be most welcome I'm sure. That chrome-like scratch-prone backplate is one of the glaring design flaws in what is initially very "pretty".
