I'm in the same situation... I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch, which cannot be upgraded to iOS 5, and that alone is making me think about buying a new(er) one. More and more apps require iOS 4.3 or later, and I'm stuck at 4.2.1.
Same here. I have two 2nd gen iPod touches. Even iOS 4.3 would be a big boon as it adds Home Sharing and AirPlay for all apps.
During the late Fall 2011 announcement I realized my plan to upgrade was inopportune as there was nothing new for the iPod touch besides an additional color. The best time to upgrade would have been during the 2010 announcement or in all probability 2012 when upgraded iPod touches are actually released. I solved my lagging iOS problem by largely abandoning the platform.
