Thanks for the info, will try to get my hands of this :)

Sounds great. One problem though. ipod touch users (like me) have to pay $10. That's a jerk move on apple's part.

Here is simple trick you can use to upgrade your iPod Touch without paying any upgrade fee, simply use firmware of your choice to upgrade to that version:

Too many unknowns.

If I update my Touch to 2.2 today, will I have to pay again to upgrade to 3.0?

If I wait, would I go straight from the 1.* to the 3.0 for one purchase or will I be forced to pay for 2.2 then pay again for 3.0?

Any information out there to clarify for those, especially if you get 2.2 a couple weeks before and then find out 3.0 is available. I've not been keeping up with updates obviously (lack of internet) and would think others might be in a similar situation.

Thanks.

no if you wait for 3.0 you will only have to pay once
