iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware Update (Almost) Live

[MacRumors]

Apple has updated their iPod Touch App Store page with a link to the iTunes Stores for iPod Touch owners to upgrade to the 2.0 Firmware. The $9.95 upgrade brings all of the 2.0 Firmware features to the iPod Touch.

For iPod Touch owners who never upgraded to the previous January pay update, Apple announced that the latest $9.95 update includes the January update as well.

On June 9, 2008, Apple announced the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch which includes all features previously included in the January Software Upgrade, the App Store, and much more (also on June 9, the iPod touch January Software Upgrade was also removed from the store). For information about iPhone 2.0 software, visit www.apple.com/ipodtouch/appstore.

The 2.0 iPod Touch firmware link currently does not lead anywhere.

Some iPhone owners were able to download the free iPhone 2.0 Firmware early, but Apple has asked us to pull the link. We expect the official iPhone 2.0 Firmware upgrade (which is free) will be distributed shortly.

I wonder if the iPhone 2.0 link that was up yesterday is the real official release version. I hope I don't have to restore mine again, that process seems to take forever when your so excited you can pee your pants!

So even though the iPhone has been on sale in Europe/Asia for hours now, the local iTunes Stores aren't offering the 2.0 firmware either?

Beginners question:

I have my iPod touch connected to www via W-Lan. What do I have to do now to download the 2.0 upgrade (once it's released)?

[idesign245]

So for those of us who paid for the upgrade in January, we're paying for it again now? That's nice.

I've been waiting for it for quite a while and I decided to check again, and walla, iPod Touch2 released exactly the same time.
Might want to check for other updates (I'm at work)!.

I thought it was my fault that the link didn't work. Pleased it's the same for the rest. Those suckers who bought the january app pack Now have to pay another 10, So they paid 30 while the rest 10

Well, untill now I jailbroke my dad's ipod touch, but I have to admit it was time for a more steady way of having apps on your ipod touch. No blame against the devs that worked on the jailbreaking, unlocking, activating apps, but everytime I jailbroke my dad's ipod touch it didn't work or crashed, etc..

I'm now VERY happy that the Apple is getting reasonable with the ipod touch extra pack things, and selling the 2.0 and extra apps for 10.

what the hell is taking so long?

It is your fault; you broke the internet!@

I wonder if jailbroken iPods can take App Store apps. Is this possible? Seems like the Jail breaker community is laughing at us; here we are trying to buy the update and can't while they've been enjoying the same applications we've all been clammering for.

I have an iPod touch and I'm freaking DESPERATE for this software update thingy, i've nearly downloaded all the free apps already!!! Just except the crap ones grrr!!!!! bring it out Appleee

[CooperHawkes]

Sorry for those that shelled out 20 in January.. personally, I'm glad I was broke and waited..

I haven't been this excited about spending 10 bux in a long time.. well maybe for Dark Knight tickets..

jailbroken 2.0 ipod touch's maybe can. But for 10 it isn't a big need anymore to have a jailbroken ipod touch.

[EvanLugh]

Aswell as Crash bandicoot. UK Users now have a YellowPages.com application. It's free, too.

The wife wants a Touch in a few months time. Will the new firmware come as standard by then?

Yep, If you want a few days from now, it'll probably be standard as the new iPod Touches (as in, with firmware 2.0) get shipped.

[BillyBobBongo]

I would think so.

It'll probably be like the last update. Old units being sold at discount prices since they don't have the update.
