iPhone 3.0 Update for iPod Touch Page Appears in iTunes, Not Yet Functional

Further to my last post, just received this from O2 Ireland by email:

*snip*

P.S. If you already have an iPhone, I strongly recommend you download the latest software OS 3.0 from your iTunes. It’s free and available from 6pm tonight (June 17th).

This will allow you to do some new stuff - such as 'cut, copy and paste', 'spotlight search' and a lot more. If you have a 3G iPhone, it will allow you start sending picture messages (MMS).

That would make sense if it's gonna be released at 1 EST. Not long for us then!

Apple charged for the upgrade to 1.1.4, to 2.0, and so it's quite obvious they would charge for 3.0

It's the Sarbanes Oxley ruling. An iPod is a device for which they claim revenue AT THE TIME IT IS PURCHASED wher an iPhone is an ongoing revenue earner through payments through AT&T. It's all got to do with accounting reporting. Minor bug fixes can be free but adding any extra functionality MUST be charged.

There always seems to be a reason to stay up to some ridiculous hour. (It's 11:30PM where I am)

hmm... Do I really need to copy and paste some random text on my phone before I go to sleep?
 
read this on apple's page...

Peer-to-peer connectivity is not supported by first-generation iPod touch and requires compatible applications, which can be downloaded from the App Store when available.

what exactly does this mean? We cant play other in games?
 
Arg! I stayed up late thinking about the update and now its not even out when I woke up! Its like when you order something online and UPS ****s up and delays your package!

This is even worse because the package is sitting on your porch, your just waiting for ups (apple) to knock on the door and give it to you.

Yea, but there is no reason they couldn't charge $0.01

bought an ipod touch on june 8th, after 3.0 was announced for it. normally you get a free/almost free update in a case like this.

anybody hear how apple will handle this one?

Apple have a 14 day returns policy in most countries. Return your product and then buy a new one and you should get the update for free. Be quick though.;)
