Yet another reason for me to NEVER buy an apple product.
That's completely and ridiculously unfair to deny customers simple application upgrades to such a device while including it in new purchases. Way to punish faithful customers and early-adopters.
Just like there OS they name it something new & release it as a new OS not just an update! M$ is the Devil but i cant believe that Holly apple does this BS! Its not like it is a whole new version of the itouch it is a FIX!

last time I bought something from Apple it was the QuickTime Pro because I needed it for movie conversions... till one day there was an upgrade and after the upgrade my license was lost and Apple just told me "you need to pay again"... I never used QuickTime again...
Apple's Leopard was mainly updates but I've noticed a very big difference. It helps to know what your talking about these days. It would have been worth the money, but I got it free.
And Quicktime is great, for me anyways. It does a great and fast job with conversions and it's very simple. I also got it for free :P
If you don't want to pay for something, then get it for free. If you like something then you might want to pay for an actual copy or something.
