Actually, Apple have quite frequently asked for money for a .x update (especially in the broader context of Macs as well as iPods).

Alex Apple have never asked for money for a .x update. They only have ever made you pay when you you want a x. update. So maybe you are in the wrong universe if you don’t know that.

The sky is actually falling. No, really. If you do have an iPod Touch AND Apple’s already extracted its money for the 3.0 update, the 3.1 update is, itself, free.

Apple NOT asking for money for iPod Touch updates? I’m not even sure I’m in the right universe any more!

I’m with you Shane. I’m using my wife’s old 5th gen. I only moved onto that after my must cherished 3rd gen iPod died when I dropped it last year :(

Of course, if work wasn’t paying for my Blackberry and I needed a new phone I would probably go down the iPhone route and be an individual like everybody else.

Well, I’m still using my first gen 2GB Nano. It works fine (although I now have to recharge it every second day).

It’s not that I don’t _want_ shiny new toys, it’s just hard to justify shelling out money for a new iPod when the old works just fine.

Of course, I’ll get around all that when my old mobile phone dies and I replace it with a 3GS (just waiting for 3 to get new stock…)
