20$ hmmm. Not really a great move by Apple. But it`s just 20 bucks in the end. So no need for any whining. Better than having to jailbreak just for these apps.

Maybe the $20 price is for Sarbanes Oxley related accounting, like the 802.11n update.

Again, Apple screws the early adopters.
$20 isn't bad, but still. It's the principle that "new" iPod Touches will include the update.
Still, I'll buy it for my Touch.

Yay, a necessary firmware upgrade disguised as a $20 app upgrade package. Way to go Apple. :rolleyes:

$20 for this update? I thought it was a joke at first. Can't you just jailbreak an iPod touch and add all those apps to it for free? Sometimes Apple just doesn't make any sense.

So, if I buy a new iPod Touch today from Amazon and it doesn't include the new software will I have to fork over $20? Or will I be able to get it for free when I register the device?

I wonder the same thing. I bought a touch yesterday afternoon. Sheesh.:(

Will there be two firmware versions from here on out for those who don't pony up the $20?
