What do u mean Vazandrew, Ezppl is right, go and get PII or PIII window system run series of window OS on it, it will still work even their mobile smart phones now that new OS is out and Window mobile OS 7 too you can still install it on any of their machines and mobile. But Apple everything is so difficult to get, one can not get apps compatible with the device easily without looking for a thirdparty installer. I have 2g ipod touch i cant meetup with current thread of new apps that is coming out, all apps am trying to download are not compatible any more so throw away my device because the new iOS what gives thet assurance that those new device are not going to be obsolate if another iOS comes out in future with so much expensive in price. In fact they have lost. Now it Andriod is out and had so much to offer with lot of free apps, one will left with no choice men.

You cannot compare a computer system to mobile, and the phones will only be able to update to a certain point.


The iPod Touch 2G simply does not have the processing power to run the new OS, bottom line. It still works the same it did when you bought it and no one is forcing you to throw it away. If you want new features then yes you need to upgrade, that's how it has always been. This does not just apply to Apple.


Android phones are most certainly not all created equal in terms of updates.

No i disagree with you @Vazandrew, go and get a old window mobile phone, palm top and others, try and run the new window OS which can run on a PC and as well run it on your mobile it surely installed that's what am telling you. On Android you can upgrade to a new version and run some latest apps but there can only be little difference possiblely because the new hardware put in place at least i can run Andriod OS my PC and download some apps i needed but in Apple case everything is restricted, get stock, make your old device pretty useless, they can as well, as they release the latest iOS develop another one which will be Lite version so low processing device can run on it and be able to get latest apps too even if the Lite version of iOS will be charge for one will know...


I even tried to install a craked iOS whited00r only to find out there are 2 type of ipod touch MC & MB and it can only work with MB model type and i hard MC type.


I want to get Modern Combat 3 on my iTouch but it won't run on iOS 4.2.1 2g...you see!
