iPod touch software update available soon

and just as i was about to go to bed....i decided to check one last time. since my ipod wasn't even plugged in, i clicked on the link from apple.com/ipodtouch/appstore and there it was. currently downloading 100 of 222.6MB at 1.4MB/s.

hoo-wah!

It's working for me too. Download was successful and am installing now.

It's working as of 12am EST. iPod Touch 2.0. Just close and reopen iTunes and you should be presented with the option to purchase and download.

I too have been waiting all day to update my iPod touch. I'm not freaking out, I figure it will be available by the end of the weekend at the latest. It is kind of aggravating though... you would think they would queue requests for the update and let it download automatically, so that we don't have to keep clicking 'update' like a bunch of morons. Or here is a thought, put the update in the app store.

At the very least you can go ahead and browse the app store, download the stuff that interests you, and when you get the update you can go ahead and sync them.

That raises a question though... if you buy an app, can you put that app on multiple devices, or at least transfer it from one to a different one (like rentals?) I have an iPod touch, but I plan on purchasing on iPhone in the near future and I don't want to spend $10 on an app that I won't be able to put on the iPhone when I get it.

this is insane!!!!!! i hope that apple learns from this and at least has the update on another day next time they release the iphone. I personally would not mind waiting a couple days after the 3G iphone launch if i knew the Update could be downloaded on that day without problems. Instead, Apple has me checking and getting all excited over what??? I'll tell you what being treated as a second class apple citizen!!!! The touch users have always been screwed over and i've pretty much had enough.

If you think $10 is too much for an upgrade, maybe spending $300+ on an iPod Touch wasn't the best financial move for your situation.

Have any iTouch users gotten the update sucessfully?

Earlier today I kept getting the message that the iTunes store was not available for the upgrade request. Now my iPod touch says that my software is the current versions and there is NO upgrade available. Don't understand what iTune store is doing - too many people trying to get it at the same time I guess.

this sucks my junk. i've been trying to get 2.0 all day on my touch to no avail. i shake my fist in your general direction there, apple.

Weird, actually I don't get the error message any more (saying itunes store is currently unavailable) when clicking on the buy now link on the iPod 2.0 Software Update page.
But nothing's showing up either...

Good news or bad? At least no error message. Let's hope!
