Well, it seems that Apple have released a software upgrade for the iPod Touch that gives the iPod Mail, Stocks, Notes, Weather, and Maps. However, you will have to PAY $20 to get it. I am wondering why should I pay for software already available on the iPhone for free to have it on the iPod Touch? Those two devices are nearly identical minus the phone capability and bluetooth. It is ironic how some sites say something in the lines of “and you can have it for just $19.99″. I believe iPod Touch owners are entitled to the software for FREE. Installing the software does not add functionality but rather help complete missing features that should of been there to begin with. There is a more detailed analysis of this at the Chicago Tribune.
