Planning to shelve them out because they are old, outdated and unproductive anymore? Well, think twice. There's still hope :)
I have a 1st generation iPod Touch and I still use it today, working perfectly and nearly as fast as an iPhone 3GS not bad eh? How did I do it? Okay, I'll tell you. I discovered a customized iOS firmware for old devices that looks exactly as an iOS 5 but I was skeptical at first because we all know that early generation devices of iPods and iPhones are not compatible with the latest firmwares. So I searched thoroughly on the internet on the said "iOS5 for old devices" after endless research, I found that iOS5-like custom firmware and it's called Whited00r. I'm a bit nervous trying it out at first because it's my first time to install that kind of firmware. I noticed that the process is the same as jailbreaking (before trying this out, I've successfully jailbroken an iPhone and an iPad 2). After following the installation process, It was a flawless success!
So I tried it out and played with it. It was wayyy freaking awesome! It looks exactly like an iOS5 device. The performance and speed? Yes, It DRASTICALLY IMPROVED and added iOS5-like features such as icloud and newstand. It's suprisingly fast as hell but unfortunately, it only runs on iOS 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 as I said earlier, It only looks like an iOS5. I highly recommend running Whited00r on old Apple idevices.
With the release of iOS6, I hope there will be some new updates on Whited00r too :)
Here's a photo of my iPod running on Whited00r:
