[Electronics-talk] IOS 8.1.2 was New reading machine and new OCR softwareforiPhone

Mon Dec 15 14:49:07 UTC 2014

I am using an Ipod Touch 5th generation.  The latest version of IOS 8.1.2
still has problems.  Safari often crashes on me.  I wish I'd never
"upgraded" to IOS 8.  It's been problematic, and none of the later
versions have fixed the problems. I'm very unhappy with it.
