iPhone Software Updates: Free or Not?
So, when Apple finally releases software updates for the iPhone (not bug fixes) that incorporate voice dialing, ring tones, etc., do you think there will be a charge for these updates?
I wonder if Apple views these updates similar to updating from Tiger to Leopard, etc.

I really, really hope Apple does not charge - even nominally - for new features, widgets, etc.
At first I was sure updates with new features would be free. But the latest announcement of paying for ringtones gives me pause...

They're charging for the ringtones (maybe, and maybe not ALL ringtones) because there are copyright issues. They are NOT charging for the ability to add new ringtones (the actual new feature)
Steve said all updates and developments for the iPhone AND Apple TV will be free. That assumes of course that the iPhone and Apple TV hardware does not prevent certain aspects of the updates...
