Howsabout my 9-month-old iPod Touch 4g?

How is yours holding up on 6.0+? Mine is super laggy on 6.1 - I can't imagine it being a good experience with 7.
It's been generally fine. It's nowhere near as fast as my phone, so I'm not sure I'd notice a comparative speed decrease anyhow, though.

You mean the model of the iPod touch first released on September 1, 2010? Three years ago by the time iOS 7 ships?
To you the product's less than a year old, but the reality is that the technology in that product is closer to three years old already.
I say this a iPhone 3GS owner that still hasn't upgraded. It's a bitter pill, but that's the nature of technology.
I really think 3-4 years is more than reasonable support for a mobile device in the current market.
