iPod touch When in November will iOS4.2 arrive and will it cost to upgrade for current Touch 4G?

[OldCorpse]

I'm planning on buying the latest Touch some time in November. I also know that iOS4.2 is supposed to be coming out in November. Do we have any confirmation or at least rumors as to when in November it's supposed to come out? And if I buy a Touch 4G before the iOS4.2 is released, will I have to pay $10 to upgrade to it? If so, I'd rather wait until iOS4.2 is out before I buy the Touch 4G. Any rumors?

The upgrade to 4.2 would be free

apple has only charged historically for upgrades when it was a major change (3.x -4.0, 2.x-3.0). .x upgrades were free to those who had the main firmware installed. so, 4.2 should be free.

Thanks, eddy and wywern... sounds good. I'm gonna buy it then without regard to the iOS4.2 coming out date

4.0 did not cost anything for touch owners. 4.2 certainly won't.
