On the cost of the iPod touch software update

About that $20 upgrade... | The Macalope: An Apple blog—CNET Blogs: “The short story for those who got to class late is Apple must charge for substantial enhancements to products that do not have revenue recognized on a subscription basis or it has to restate prior earnings. The iPod touch does not have revenue recognized on a subscription basis. The iPhone does. As does the Apple TV. Hence, they get free updates and the iPod touch does not.”
