1st gen Touch. Some of the apps I like are no longer running on the iOS. Should I attempt to update the iOS to the current version or just let it die a slow death. Will a first gen Touch even run the current iOS?

Lots of questions.
 
Hi there :) The first gen iPod Touch won't run iOS5, nor will the highest version of iOS it can run go very smoothly on the outdated hardware :( Sorry, but the first gen is really only good for basic apps and basic tasks.
 
That's what I was afraid of. I've been using it for several years to check the weather in the morning and not really much more. A first gen iPhone would probably be in the same boat, right?


Thanks for the info.

Yeah, except the first gen iPhone would also be useful for calling & texting. Good luck :)

1st Gen iPhones also have a pretty good camera... Not High Res, but good color saturation. Good enough resolution for email and web posting...

I don't have an active sim card but on WiFi, I can make calls with Text Free and Skype.
 
Worth the trouble?

Some successful companies have thrived off of making their employees compete against each other, giving many a manager the brilliant idea that they should try it at their own office.Thanks for sharing the information.
