I have an original iPad 64gb 3G. I have been using it for about 2 years now and it is still fine for what I do with it. Part of me wants the new one, but I really can't justify it.
What I can justify is changing the version of ios I am running. Right now I am running 5.0.1 with jailbreak. I jailbreak to use screendimmer and browser changer.
I have always updated the ios, my favorite was when gestures came in. Just love them. But with each upgrade, memory seemed to get more and more dear.
Now I cannot run anything else with my perfect browser without the browser crashing from lack of memory. I understand the original iPad is grossly underpowered, but it seems like it operated better when running iOS 4.x.
My question is what version of ios give the best of all possible scenarios of performance. I have all my SSHs saved, so I should be able to downgrade. But to which version? I would love to keep the gestures, and the jailbreak, but get better memory availability.
Thanks
Michael
