Didn't Apple have to charge for the Touch update? Unlike the iPhone, they are not spreading the profit across quarters.
I don't buy that they had to charge for it. Seriously, we're supposed to believe that now it's illegal to do free software updates that add features? And if situations like that are going to happen, they should do accounting for ALL their products like the iPhone.
Even if they really are required to charge for it, just make it a small token amount, like $5 or even a buck.

Actually, the 1.1.3 update is FREE for the Touch. The $20 is for the application pack, and I think it's totally fair. My girlfriend only uses her Touch as an iPod, so she has no need for the app pack, where as I'm such a fangirl, and it was only $20, so I grabbed it.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. Drag and drop has been a pillar of the Mac OS usability, and having to synch the device manually was just plain retarded and contrary to the ease of use and functionality of Apple's own iPods in that regard. I don't want to have to re-sync the freaking phone every-time that I want to add a song or two. This is a move in the right direction by Apple.

What on earth are you talking about? Have you actually used an iPod in it's default state? (automatically synchronised) or is this another opinion based on assumption? "having to sync the device manually"? The point of sync is that you don't do anything - you just plug it in!
And since when has having to perform a function been easier than not having to? Autosyncing is set up once - that's it!

Does anyone know when 10.5.2 will be available? I thought it was to be released during MacWorld.
And will it be $20?
And will it be $20?

edit: duh - just turn on 'manually manage songs and video' in 'Summary'!
