All I have to say to apple is that I will not be purchasing any future products with them. What is the point of purchasing something and then latter not being able to use it to its full capacity because they felt that users with a second generation iPod touch weren't important. They don't even seem to at least provide a trade in program.

It has nothing to do with how Apple feels about the people who still have a 2nd gen device. What it is about is the fact that a 2nd gen does not have the hardware required to run a more current version of iOS. what you're asking for would be like asking the company who made your VHS recorder to give you a Blueray player for free. Get over it.

But would it not make sense that if Apple cared then we would still be able to get the old versions of apps for our other devices. Its like if a company went and destroyed all the VHS tapes to make you upgrade to a bluray player.

They do but only if you previously purchased the app.

I understand technology is constantly changing but to block folks from getting apps after paying several hundred dollars for apple products blows. They should have a separate web site for obsolete firmware. Everybody doesnt have money every time they come out with something new ,besides they new stuff is so costly and you have to think , one day that will be obsolete too. Such a rip off.

what a great idea. went to trash, typed in IPA and all the stuff came up and split into years. went back to the earliest year the app had and double clicked on it. it went straight to itunes and bingo. synced and downloaded. thanks for the help. absolutely brilliant.
