Apple is reportedly making iPod touch with 3G service. How much premium would 3G connectivity would add to the cost of the iPod touch? iPad with 3G is priced $130 higher than the Wi-Fi only version. Would Apple add $130 to the price of iPod touch with 3G? Would people pay for the extra $130?
I haven’t heard anything about iPod touch with 3G from my Apple contact. That doesn’t confirm nor deny such product would be released by Apple.
June 21st, 2010.
Apple release iOS 4 for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch (2nd & 3rd generation) today. iOS 4 is available for download through iTunes.
Please download iTunes 9.2 before you try upgrading to iOS 4. Download iTunes 9.2 from Apple.
iPhone 4 is scheduled for release on Thursday June 24th, 2010 at 7:00AM local time. The same day new Futurama episode airs on Comedy Central!
iOS 4 will be made publicly available on June 21st, 2010 through iTunes. The update will be provided for free to iPhone and iPod touch users. Previously Apple charged some fee for iPod touch major OS upgrade.
So, which iPhone and iPod touch are compatible with iOS 4?

If you have even an up-to-date Flash plugin installed, it most likely will crash your browsers. It seems that this bug has been fixed in Flash 10.1 beta.
I have ClickToFlash installed, so I could actually read what this page says without having Safari crashed.
No wonder Steve Jobs won’t allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
Metallica has invaded iTunes App store with two officially sanctioned apps. Lars Ulrich needs more money to get his gold-plated shark tank installed next to his pool.
Tapulous – Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica
Includes the following ten songs:
They actually included a song off St. Anger.
From Metallica Mailing List:
Finally, everyone who purchases Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica will be entered to win cool stuff, including the grand prize of a trip to Las Vegas for the show there on December 5, including airfare, hotel, tickets (duh!) and meet and greet passes. Click here for more info about the contest.
Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica is priced at $4.99 at U.S. iTunes App Store.
The second Metallica sanctioned app is Live Metallica app (Metallica news item).
In our ongoing efforts to be of service and give you as many options as possible in the digital era, we asked the brainiacs that help us out with LiveMetallica.com to come up with a super cool iPhone application that creates a streaming interface to your LiveMetallica account. In non-tech talk, that means that any show you have downloaded from the site will automatically stream to your iPhone once you launch the $.99 app. And the bonus is that the latest show on the site will always be streaming for free!
Apple announces the availability of iPhone OS 3.1 and iPod touch OS 3.1 at the “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” event on Wednesday 09.09.2009. iPhone OS 3.1 is available for no charge for any iPhones. iPod touch OS 3.1 is also available for free when upgrading from OS 3.0.x but costs $4.95 for those still running iPod touch OS 1.x and 2.x.
As usual a few “tech journalists” didn’t really listen nor throughly read what Apple said. That includes Leo Laporte (TWiT) and Tom Holwerda (OSNews).
Once again, if your iPod touch is running OS 3.0.x then you will be able to download the upgrade for free. If your iPod touch is still running OS 1.x or 2.x then you’ll have to pay $4.95 to get the OS 3.1.
Note to Leo Laporte, take a look at the screen capture below:
