[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1252714, member: 24098"] I don't think the iPod OS is a derivative of iOS. I think over time, it's been gussied up to look like it, but at it's core, it's far more limited. In the days before the iPhone and iPad, there was little need to be cognizant of the OS (in fact, iOS was just referred to as the "iPhone OS" up until recently). Since the iPod was really a single-function device, it just needed a healthy firmware with enough functionality to play music (and later video, and some limited games and PDA functionality). iOS is actually a derivative of OS X. It's basically a scaled down version with functionality specific to touch-based devices. I don't believe there's much at all in common with the iPod OS. [/QUOTE]
