Apple iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware Released

Back in March we posted about Apple’s 2.0 firmware update for their iPod Touch and, after what seems like an eternity of waiting, the 2.0 Touch software update is now available for download via Apple’s App Store though its release will do nothing to stem the bitterness of Touch owners who are being asked to part with money in order to access the upgrade.
Touch 2.0 Firmware Key Features:
- Push Email with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- Improved Mail Attachment Viewing
- New Mail Management Features
- Updated Language and Keyboard Support
- Contacts Search
- Multiple Calendars
- Scientific Calculator
Apple’s iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware Update will set you back $9.95 though, at the time of writing, we have been unable to access the page via the iTunes link due, we suspect, to either teething troubles or particularly heavy demand. Incidentally we should add that if you have not already gained the January software update this is also included in this download though, if you have previously paid out $30 for this previous update we’re fairly sure that this will serve to make you all the more annoyed regarding Apple’s Touch update policies – and, frankly, who could blame you?

I am not impressed at having to pay for these software updates that iPhone users get for free
Dave, you are not alone.
I don’t own a Touch but if I did the idea of paying for a firmware update would leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Still, this is Apple we’re talking about here so it ought, perhaps, not to come as a great surprise.
I just bought an I touch 32 gb just 2 days ago & I will never pay for an update,The first thing I did was Jailbreak it!
