the iTouch upgrade, keep it in perspective
$20 for the iTouch upgrade to give you an iPhone without the phone. $20?... well yeah. Like this blurb to keep it in perspective.
from O'Reily net
"Twenty Dollars? Apple is going to charge twenty dollars? Apple should just give it to us for free."
Tell me Jobs doesn't want to just say "Shut up. Just shut up." But of course RSJ can't.
I was once backstage after a Wynton Marsalis concert and he asked one of the women I was with what she thought of the show. She looked at him and said, "you could have played longer."
He nodded thoughtfully and said, "yeah, I could have."
That's what it felt like this week in San Francisco. So many people running around saying "Apple could have just given us the upgrade."
Yeah, they probably could have. But listening to people holding a five dollar cup of coffee in one hand complain about spending twenty dollars to upgrade their iPod touch confuses me a bit.

iPod owners who buy theirs after Jan 15th get the software free. Early adopters have to pay $20 to put the exact same software on their exact same iPods. We're getting penalised for buying the Touch when it came out.
