The 5Gs are identical to the 5.5G except that the 5.5Gs have better battery life (especially for video playback) and a brighter screen. The ability to d/l games on iTunes, and the new search abilities are available to the 5G via a firmware update. If your daughter is going to be playing a lot of videos I recommend the 5.5G. Otherwise the refurb 5G is a great deal.
