Often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and TL210.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Touch due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Kodak Touch will give more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent Touch should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
