The iPod Touch 5 should run iOS 8 about as well as the iPhone 4S does. Internally it's very similar to an iPhone 4S, but has a higher screen resolution so the GPU is pushing more pixels. Performance should be quite similar.

I did, it took a good couple of hours but I absolutely love it.

It seems to work fine for me too. The search "view" is a bit laggy though.

It also took me three installation attempts before it actually installed correctly. Total time wasted was around four hours.

Thank you all for replying...Has anybody noticed any significant changes in battery life??

Mine has improved, both on iTouch 5th gen and iPad Air.

I only use it at night so it's hard to tell since I only used it one night

Updated my Touch finally, found it a bit slower than before..turned on Reduce Motion and Increase contrast and now it is as good as 7.1.2 or maybe better..just started playing with it so can't say about battery as yet ..all in all its working just fine..

Is your Touch still going great on iOS 8? My 5c is working great with 8 so was thinking of updating my Touch too to take advantage of added features. How's the battery life?
Thanks in advance.

Anytime buddy....well before I say anything about touch s performance,let me clear that first that I hardly used touch on iOS 7.1.2 for fifteen twenty days only and I have no previous experience with any Apple iOS devices..after updating to iOS 8 1) I found it a bit slow.but like I said I turned on Reduce Motion and Increase contrast and now I think it is as smooth as iOS 7.1.2 2) I restarted it after updating and playing with it for some time and that helped with the speed and app loading delays too..3) found couple of bugs a) yesterday I couldn't pull down notification centre or pull up action centre from home screens, a restart helped b) my battery was at 25% and I opened a game (BB Racing ) and within 10 minutes, it ate up the entire remaining battery ..but I don't think it was games fault..i think there was some bug 4) cause right now my battery usage is showing 5 hours 20 minutes of active usage and 15 hours 30 minutes of stand by time after last charge..and I still have 63% of battery juice left ...and I think it's great ..but I ll update this after this charging cycle ends completely cause I have a doubt that battery dies down quickly once you hit 20%...hope this info will help ...cheers..

Thanks for the detailed info. I'll wait for a while and update then. Hope you're having a great time with your Touch.

Mate, can i add you on iMessage?
I need to know stuff about iOS8

I have updated my iPod 5G 64GB to iOS 8 today and this are my experiences.

Advantages/pros:
+ new features
+ I feel that i'm good with the latest update
+ improved user interface
+ When you apply a hard reset and delete some apps and disable spotlight than you're device is almost as fast like iOS 7 ( i can't rate the speed at the moment since i haven't used the speed for more than one day )
+ some more things that i haven't discovered yet.

Disadvantages/cons:
- It's a bit slower than former iOS version, but that is probably fixable by following the recommendation i wrote above.
- you can't go back to former iOS version.
-/+ not more yet

Will discover more now....

I've had the ios 8 betas and the GM on my iPod touch and I can say it runs ios 8 well. I can't get the battery life I use to cause my battery is almost 2 years old and has gone though alot of usage but its still pretty good.
