3.0 is here, but where's the free security update for iPod touch 2.x?

"I am unaware of a similar incident where a company would charge for security updates,"

Really? I don't see many security updates coming these days for Tiger. Or Windows 2000 (and no, XP doesn't count...MS still sells XP). And these are systems that cost at least $100 when you bought them.

It's $10 guys, just suck it up. Would you rather they just said that the iPods aren't upgradable? Would that make you feel better?

"That's illegal, right? I know it's on apple's server and all, but seriously!"

When 2.0 came out, we were told by Apple specifically that they are legally required to officially charge for it, but the license it comes with allows you to install it on as many iPods as you like. So I don't think Apple cares too much.

Apple really needs to spend time on Software Update releases.... Besides an iPhone, I also have an iPod Nano (2nd gen) which is capable of Genius as its only a software. I would love Genius on my Nano and Apple has only added the software to Nano 4th gen. How about an update for older iPods, Apple ??

Good Lord Mac Users. We pay premium price for premium product, however, now product is perfect. Especially something as new and revolutionary as the iPhone/Touch.
If this were 'just' a security update, or 'just' an update changing a few things and fixing a couple of bugs and they charged for it then yes, be upset.
But, for Christ's sake, for the price of less than a 12 pack of Guiness, or a nice bottle of wine, or about 3 gallons of gas, we are getting a world of updates, conveniences and fixes.
iPod owners pay monthly to use their iPhone, so there is constant income flow. Touch users is one time fee for an amazing piece of technology, buy it and stop complaining.
You haters probably complain every time stamps increase in price by .3 cents.

Keep it real Apple and charge for this one, but be careful about charging for future updates.

They better fix the high-pitch frequency sound heard after certain "sounds" on the iPhone... like when you send a txt message or lock the phone. Listen carefully, it's soft, but quite annoying.

itunes decided to delete all my apps from the ipod touch
loseing all the stage scores
if it does it again will I have to buy them again

Ah, Jailbroken 1.1.4... Good times, goooooooood times.

I know a lot of you are not going to like to hear this but if I was Apple I'd declare 2.xx obsolete. People here trying to make 3.0 sound like a security update are way way off base. 3.0 fixes so much that it really should be a mandatory update. I'm sure that in some cases the fixes are so deep that back porting them all will be difficult.

In anyevent, please no more whining. Update to 3.0 and get it overwith. If you have to flip burgers for a couple of hours longer. Life is all about moving forward, driving through a sewer just slows you down and the stench is offensive to the rest of us.

That's illegal, right? I know it's on apple's server and all, but seriously!

If they do end up charging iPod touch users for security updates, then I can simply add that to my list of reasons why I won't be purchasing anymore Apple products in the future.

My iPod Touch problem with wifi not automatically connecting to known access points was resolved by resetting the network settings, then re-adding the access point configurations back onto the Touch. After doing this, it will now automatically connect to them when it's "awoken", instead of only after an app tried to use the network.
