It depends on what you want to do with it. The functionality is much less than what later models offer. Probably most important: it has no App Store. Content providers may decide to abandon support for this model at any time.


is it upgradeable

No. What is on it, is what is available. What works may keep working for a while. Apple has released its last software version in March, and that is likely its last version ever, as the model is now listed as ‘obsolete’ support-wise [1].
