The iPod touch doesn't have texting
Good point! Maybe it's referring to Instant Messaging. Perhaps a real iChat app is coming.
I still think that $10 isn't the worst price in the world to pay for new features.
Me - I'm waiting for the iPod touch 3 with the new hardware. That'll be my treat this year.

no because it would be in the gm that we have, and they cant introduce new features to ipod touch for free.
its just a mistake.
Okay, so will this update happen at midnight tonight or noon tomorrow on the east coast usa?
I wouldn't lose sleep over it if I was you. You might as well get your sleep and download it when you wake up. At least, that's my plan.
Oh yes, they did. And it is the Lamest Excuse Ever that anyone has ever brought up for charging for updates. While it would be perfectly alright to charge for big software updates such as these, they should be upfront about it and not make up some nonsense to calm down their customers.
Pretty much every modern IT device's firmware can be and IS updated these days, and no other major manufacturer had the cheeky idea to charge for it with the same excuse as Apple.
Apple is not THAT special, u know ...

Microsoft comes out with a new piece of junk computer OS every two years and tries to charge people $300 for it.
My thoughts exactly.
Can't have people in the US whinning can we!Apple is either a multi national corp that sticks to a universal time/date (re iphone 3g launch) or its not. Make up your minds Apple.
Presumably from iTunes, although the announced price was $14.95
Edit: I think $12.99 was the price for version 2. The upgrade page on iTunes NZ lists $13.99, which was the cost of version 2 here. Version 3 is $19.95
Can't wait for the update! I wonder it'll be a repeat of last year where you could pull the update directly off the servers before Apple officially releases it.
xp - 2001
vista - 2006
win7 - 2009
2 years?

People, come on, it's $10/£6. I'm just going to go ahead and say it, are you really that cheap? I think paying that amount for what is clearly a lot of work by Apple devs is a steal, were it not that they're making a mint on hardware of course. Even then, it's still a good deal IMO.
In Poland it's 12:38 AM and no download yet. i believe it's gona be available later today. (after 2 PM)
I wouldn't bother waiting up. After all, it's already past midnight in Europe and they don't have it yet.
