I suspect it always will be, they know full well that half the appeal to a lot of people is the fact that is possible and if they truly prevented it, they'd lose a huge chunk of the market and gain absolutely nothing from doing so. It's a lose lose situation.

Apple has a choice of what to charge, but they have to charge.

The free iPod touch 1.1.3 software update—which includes important security fixes—also includes all of the new software applications as part of its 165MB download. Purchasing the software upgrade from Apple actually just downloads a tiny file that unlocks the changes you’ve already downloaded onto your iPod.

... the company declined an opportunity to comment on the reasoning behind the $19.99 charge for the touch update.

Look at the cost for the 2.0 update and the projected price for the 3.0 update...

I'm not defending it really, but then again I have an iPhone which gets the updates and changes for free

...the 2.0 update was free for those who had purchased the 'January' update wasn't it? I certainly don't recall paying for it, which creates an interesting point if they supposedly have to charge every time they add features.

edit - actually, thinking back, I think I skipped the January update and just bought 2.0 which included the January update features, which is why I only recall paying once.

I have no idea

I've paid twice for my iPod Touch update.

Although technically that's a slight lie. I got a refund for the first update shortly before the second update because I'd lost my update file after I did a restore and Apple wouldn't allow me to buy it again because it had been discontinued (it was just before the second update) so they refunded me the cost. The second update was cheaper than the first and I think that this new one is cheaper still.

Looking forward to this although I got my iPhone knowing full well it didn't have these features I didn't care much. however this update will be awesome!
