Still Going Good

Pros: Good SQ for an iPod, Basically does everything anyone could want
Cons: Its made by Apple, So its overpriced (when it was new)

Overall I'm satisfied with my iTouch, its worked well for about 2 years now, Its been soaked with water and it managed to survive and dropped several times and hasn't broke which is really shocking cause Apples iDevices usually break quite easily but It does help to have it in a case and keep a screen protector on it.

 

The interface is typical Apple iOS, does the job fairly well, only complaint about it is no 3rd party apps.

 

SQ is actually pretty good for an iDevice, with sound check engaged and your favorite EQ it actually can reproduce digital audio just fine.

 

Only real complaint is the built in speaker is verrrry quiet its nearly pointless.

 

It is currently running iOS 4.2.1 and Jailbroken.

I own my 2 Gen since it came out and still use it daily. Switched back to IOS 3 because it runs better then IOS 4. It jailbroken and has the same features as IOS 5. Only thing is that it is a bit outdated. It can run every app and some apps don’t run well.

yeah I shoulda mentioned that, cause of the now outdated processor in it and lower MB RAM some apps can lag like the new FB, or just not work at all, and with it not being able to upgrade past iOS 4.2.1 you can't get certain apps from the app store, but oh well, I think if you have an iPod/iPhone that can't run iOS 5 you might as well just jailbreak
