To put applications on an iTouch do you have to buy the ten dollar update?

Question

Just got an itouch today and I have already downloaded several free applications. I'm curious to know if the 10 dollar update is needed because if it isn't, I'm not going to buy it.

Answer 1

yes the new update is much needed to use apps on the itouchs or the old iphones. plus idk what else it comes with but it can't hurt to get it. quote for quote from apple.com here "The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch includes the App Store and all the new features described on this page for just $9.95." that site is my source. tons of features like microsoft exchange, contact search, multiple calanders, Google Maps, Mail, Weather, Web Clips, a customizable Home screen and more. and mobile me!
