Sorry to have to tell you that Apple Support couldn't have done much for you mate, if you looked on the web in Apple's accessibility section then you would have sen it clearly laid out what you've just written thus you would have saved yourself some considerable time. No, Apple will not be making any previous Ipod Touch models Voiceover compatible just as they won't be making the Iphone 3G or previous Ipod Nano models before the 4th generation Voiceover compatible and part of the reason for that is that these devices may not have the processing power to handle Voiceover. Yep, as I understand it you can download the IOS4 update to an Iphone 3G for example but only those features which the 3G can support will be activated.
