iPod touch Anyone still use iPod touch 4th gen/ios 6.1.5?

I still have my iPod Touch 4th gen. I use it for my bedside internet and music plus a few games (Angry Birdies.) It is slow and crashes a lot. Apple should at least fix this situation before abandoning any support (Apple are you listening.)

Other wise I use my iPad mini.

When you say it crashes a lot do you have a lot of apps running at once? I'm thinking of upgrading to iOS 6 from iOS 5.1.1 but not sure. Said this in a seperate thread but:

How much free RAM is available after you close all apps and restart the device? Would like to know after a restart with a system app. I assume you are running stock and not jailbroken.

Do games crash or become laggy for you? Such as Temple Run 2, Subway Surfer, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Infinity Blade II, GTA series, Six Guns and other demanding games?

Safari crashes often on desktop sites like operationsports.com? What about mobile such as nfl.com or msn.com? Also, even the App Store with that app only open (no background apps in multi-tasking) crashes frequently?

Am thinking of upgrading but if all iOS 6 does is crash and eat up RAM I will not.

If interested in the free ram usage on my iPod touch 4g:
iOS 6.0: 80mb
iOS 5.1.1: 140mb
IOS 4.3.2: 137 mb
(Took along time to downgrade and restore back up to iOS 6)
I got the average ram after a respring and after clearing the memory 3 times but iOS 6 couldn't free the memory so average couldn't get a little boost like other iOS versions. I got the free ram numbers from sbsettings and sbsettings is not fully compatible with iOS 6 so that might of been a factor.

I defiantly noticed the lack of ram in apps. It's the first iOS version where stock apps crashed on me. Settings and the app store crashed 5 minutes in. (I always restore when I upgrade so that is not the problem)
I hope I gave you some insight what is going on with iOS 6.
I might update you guys later with better results when sbsettings is compatible with iOS 6.

I still use my 32gig Gen4, it's in a Belkin "wallet" case and I use it as my wallet. This was my second Apple device, which replaced an iPaq HX4700 (maybe the worst piece of junk I've ever bought). I previously bought an 80gig iPod Classic to replace a Creative Zen (purchased because people who I trusted convinced me "anything but Apple"). It was the iPod that convinced me that Apple was just plain better. So, in addition to the previous Apple devices my wife and I now own a MacBook Pro each and wife has an iPhone. I guess Apple products sell more Apple products.
