As far was I know, Apple does not currently sell any iPod touches with the 2.0 software on it. On Apple's website it says it can be purchased seperatly.
Totally correct. The UK support people told me this when I tried to persuade them to give me a gift certificate for 2.0, seeing as how I had purchase my Touch after 11 July.
They said they were not installing 2.0 in any new iPods, it was an optional upgrade.
Then why when I went to iTunes to download verion2.0, did iTunes NOT ask me for financial info? No credit card...nothing!
I am running on a refurbished 8 and needed to update software to deal with an emial issue which the update did NOT fix.
So, I'm working on version 2.0 and happy even without email other than Gmail which seems to be working fine.

Does iTunes use the credit info you gave them the first time with every subsequesnt purchase? Perhaps THAT would explain the 2.0 download without credit info being requested?
When you create you iTunes account you provide them with a credit card. Once you approve the download the credit card is charged. They don't ask you to keep retyping the info.
