As the second gen ipod is three generations old, it is not unusual at all that it would no longer be able to handle the latest software. But all of the things that I payed for on my ipod, the games, the movies, can no longer be used again. Thats kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Oct 26, AM. The idea that Apple made a corporate decision to simply eliminate all older iTouch devices from existence baffles me. Why would I want to invest in any apple product knowing full well that in a few years I will simply have to throw it away.
I don't have a lot of money to invest in things like this. Do you? There must be millions of the older iTouch devices out there that are good for nothing but a landfill somewhere. Someone said all older computing equipment eventually goes away. Not so. I can still download old applications for those old OS's. There is no NEED to throw them away. I will always be able to get old apps for them.
I can still get old apps for win3. The older Apple device are now actually useless. That is the diffference, and it is a big one. As someone pointed out, it's corporate greed. So, yes, this and all other posts on this subject should be turned into an Apple bashing, Android vs IOS debate until we eventually get Apples attention. Really, the only way to get Apples attention on this matter is to switch away from them and hit them in thier greed which is exactly what I am going to do.
They came out with the first GUI years ago and made the corporate decision to not keep in touch with thier customers. Now look at them. The same thing is going to happen with the IOS, but much faster this time. It won't take long for people to figure out they simply have to replace there perfectly good hardware because Apple got greedy.
Too bad. They made a good product. Dec 27, AM. Dec 27, PM. You've made very valid points. I for one will not replace either the iPod Touch that is now virtually useless nor the iPhone 4 that will no doubt be heading down the same path to iOS obsolescence Planned obsolescence is purely about corporate greed.
I choose to stop feeding the gluttonous monster. Dec 29, PM. Dec 30, AM in response to disapointed brazilian In response to disapointed brazilian. You are seeing the power of the market here because there is not enough demand to support the old products. So they are being dropped by both Apple and the developers. Think your story could be the next blockbuster?

It was all a collection of junk mail. I click into my voicemail, keying in my password and deleting junk message after junk message. Nothing important. Update stirs beside me, rolling over and opening one eye, squinting at the brightness of my screen.

In March, Macworld. I had spent a great deal of time with half-a-dozen e-readers, and I still do a great deal of reading with Kindle for iPhone and Stanza , which I ranked as my favorite.
