I'm almost certain Apple would gladly give away the iPod touch upgrade for free if they deemed it at all possible wrt to their accounting requirements. The prospect of not pissing off their customers and having them buy more apps as a consequence would probably more than compensate for the lost revenue. - Ole Begemann
The 2.0 upgrade is worthwhile. I see nothing wrong with paying $10 for it. I'd have paid $20 just as easily. You have to reward good work. Generally speaking, this whole concept of "free" software is cute at first sight, but people need money to live. Pay them for their work. - Raoul Pop
I agree, Raoul. But the reason Apple is charging for the upgrade is accounting rules and not "you have to reward good work". - Ole Begemann
