It is an iPod Touch with 512MB RAM... I do lots of stuff with it, browsing the web, Facebook chat, playing music through bluetooth speaker, downloading torrents at same time. I am pretty heavy user.
What do you think of iOS 7 four months later?
It's pretty much a disaster. My phone lasts half the time it once did, it takes me a long time to actually get anything done on iOS 7 because of the slow animations. The stock apps are gutted to where they are pretty much useless. I miss iOS 6 terribly and I never thought I'd say that.
I hear 7.1 speeds things up considerably, so I'll wait for it because I give up hope, but I'm just upset apple has stripped all the character out of iOS that we have all grown to love over the last 5 years and tried to make iOS more like Android. That and it's terribly unstable.

I still laugh when everyone's like "bawww it's like Android now."
As an Android user since about 2009... uh, no. No it's not. Like. Switching from Android to iOS is still a huge transition and they're vastly different. The only similarities is... um... maybe the toggles? Are kinda similar? Oh and there's a notification drag down now. So that's a thing. I guess folders pop up now. That's about it.

I have to say that i liked more than i previously thought but
some appz are really failing with it.
Mainly Evernote..that green it really looks like the old game center texture
and i don't like at all .
I would like to have the previous UI design, flattened but that one ,
and with a green less boring and sad,the ones they're using there is too dark
and gives to the app the feeling its not that good or to be an early beta unfinished and unpolished.
Speaking about IOS7 i like the elements taken straightly from the "jailbreak scene" and i really wish to see Quasar coming as next to have side by side and drag and drop between feature within.Maybe with Ios8?Will my Ipad2 be able to support it? Or will i need the jailbreak again ?Just guessing-

-The current dock needs to go and a few icons need to be worked on but otherwise that, it's ok.
I'd like to see some more customizability. Apple has been doing their best to pull support for Jailbroken devices, whereas if they simply offered options like changing the size of the dock and threw in a couple skins, they'd satisfy the mod-happy crowd.
iOS7 has been amazing for me, (when I had the iPhone 5s) but it's still left to be desired on the Ipad. The way it is now on the Ipad there is still so much work to be done, but it's bearable.
They need to fix up the UI, I would certainly like to see more weather information on the notification screen and more detailed appointment details. I want current day appointments on my notification screen, not the next day! LOL
My husband says I am just being a nit picker wifey.... Whether you all agree with him, that remains to be seen. I just think notification screen should be improved, (I think that's the only issue I have with iOS7 on the iPad really.)
Still it gets a 8/10 Despite it's flaws.

Its gotten to the point now where my GF has started to complain profusely about the constant Safari crashes as well. She uses the Air primarily but she was saying how it happens frequently on our Retina Mini as well. Last night Safari was crashing frequently while she was trying to buy a dress online.
I am a big fan of Apple but this situation is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. No mention of this is made in the reviews of the iPad Air or Mini which is another thing I think is wrong. In fact I dont think this issue has had the exposure it deserves. instead of "it just works" can this now be changed to "it just crashes.....all the time".

7.1 does wonders for fixing iPad crashing issues. Hopefully it will be out soon.
I'm not particularly happy with it. I really, really dislike all the 'white' and the stick figures. The stick figures that are supposed to be used to navigate are all over the place. Sometimes the email icon is at the top on the right, sometimes it's at the top on the left, sometimes it's at the bottom. Same with the trash icon. No consistancy. Plus they are hard to see.
I don't care about the icons for apps. But I'm tired of the crashes and resprings on my Air. I get at least one respring a day and Safari crashes several times a day. And don't get me started on page reloads.....
All in all I would happily go back to iOS 6. 7 may turn out to be ok (some say 7.1 fixes most of the resprings/crashes). Most of all I'm really upset at Apple for not only releasing a new OS that is incomplete but actually forcing on older devices (we have 3 more iPads not counting my new Air) and by forcing I mean automatically downloading the installation files with no way to delete them thereby taking up 2-3 gigs of storage.
Apple released a POS and is forcing us to be beta testers. 6 months later we're waiting for an update to make our devices usable. That, in my opinion, is utterly reprehensible. Frankly I could forgive the UI mistakes if my device performed correctly.
No, I'm not happy.

The inconsistency was there before. The icons have obviously changed and some have moved, but this problem existed in iOS 6 too.
Downloading torrents on an iPod touch ???
Well, maybe 512 Mb are not enough for iOS 7, but surely your expectations for such a device are a little bit too high
Yes, downloading animes and J drama through torrent app on iPad touch...So i can watch it before sleep...
I do have high expectation on this 300 dollar device... I do not need a 300 dollar device just to play musics...

First of all, "Android UI" is a very general concept, since every vendor uses a different UI. And if you speak about vanilla Android, well, NO there is nothing similar in iOS 7.

It's just not true.
I still have to see a single crash on both my iPhone and mi iPad.
If your crashes all the time you have a defective unit or something wrong with your software.
For the iPhone, it's absolutely great. Almost no problems here.
However, the iPad OS sort of feels unfinished and a lot of the UI just seems scaled up. Hopefully, iOS 8 will address this issue and focus a lot on iPad specific UI.

I don't care if the inconsistencies were in 6 or not. This is a new OS, it has not 'evolved' over the years. There is no real excuse. I worked in software development for close to 30 years. We would never have rolled out a piece of software in the shape iOS 7 is in. I understand time constraints but Apple rushed this OS and I don't appreciate having to wait for a stable OS on my $1000 device.
I originally purchased iPads because of the hardware form factor. I felt the OS was limiting but ok for what I really needed. Well, both Android and Windows tablets are catching up with the hardware form factor and both OSs are more stable. 7.1 better be pretty spectacular for me to stick with iPads. I just tried to buy an airfare and Safari crashed while I was putting in my credit card info. I had to start over. And I has no other apps in the background. This happens way too often and it's getting pretty tiresome.
Again, no it's not. It feels wildly different. And iOS6 felt like it was made of cheap plastic. It was awful. The keyboard especially, just... ugh.
OKAY WAIT. Has iOS not evolved or has it changed to ape Android? We can't have it both ways, folks.
