The only justification I can see for the cost of the Touch update is that they ported features from the iPhone and perhaps their trying to recover development costs. They may have been more skittish about charging iPhone users, after many of us suffered through the price cut. Apple is about making money and I am sure they will charge whatever they can get away with. A good thing if you own their stock.

I was somewhat disappointed in the MacWorld keynote, not because of what was announced but by what was not announced. I was looking forward to some intermediate hardware between the iPhone and the MacBook. But…, after looking at the iPhone/iPod Touch updates I was pleasantly surprised at the new applications. (Although the location technology doesn’t appear to work here in Alaska.) The $20 fee for the upgrade I thought was a little steep. I hope this doesn’t indicate OS software updates will be fee based. Why wasn’t iPhone users charged a fee versus iPod Touch users. So, there is my two-cents worth,… maybe I can apply that to my iTunes account!! LOL. Great blog from my B-i-L. Say ‘hi’ to the Fam. Tom
