Firmware 2.0 Launched For iPod touch Comments

the question is, if one were to buy the iPod Touch brand new now, would it come with 2.0 pre-installed or would one have the pay the extra after one gets it home?

The 2.0 software update also includes the January update (Google Maps, Mail etc) too, so for those who haven't updated yet, this ones got the lot. Some of the apps are ecxellent, although the UK is strangely missing the eBay app.

When you keep complaining about rip off prices charged here, do the mathematics first.

$10 is the US price without sales tax. £5.99 is the price with UK sales tax - VAT.

Convert $10 to sterling using the current exchange rate - say £1 = $1.96 - add 17.5% VAT and - hey presto! - it is exactly £5.99.

Always remember that US prices go up when they add the tax whereas ours have tax already included. Yes we pay more sales tax - but don't blame the manufacturers for that. And we'd just pay more tax in another way if it weren't on VAT....

it must be said it includes the january update which was about £12,glad i held out.
