Brian, I Feel Your Pain

Apple announced a software update for the iPod Touch today. Five apps from the iPhone (which really should have been on the Touch all along) are now available: Mail, Maps, Weather, Stocks, and Notes. Good news, right? Well, there's a catch. They're charging $20 for them.

That would be somewhat reasonable except that all new iPod Touches are coming with these 5 apps installed. Only people who already own the Touch have to pay for the update.

Am I the only one who thinks this stinks?

They released an iPhone update today, too. It's free for all existing iPhones, as it should be.
