I imagine free apps are going to be distributed through the store too so Apple can take a peek at them before they are let loose in the wild.
They are all going to be distributed using iTunes, even free ones.

Downloading the SDK now, wonder if it has the beta firmware in it? It's 2.1GB 
It is Apple we are talking about here; they will get the money out of you one way or anotherAnother charge for the iPod Touch.
Another charge for the iPod Touch.
Indeed! **** of with the ******* charges FFS!
I'll just stay jail broken and do them over again like I did last time they tried to pull a swift one.

AFAIK they're not doing it because they want to, they're doing it because of accounting laws in the US or something.
What is your source on that? I think it is rubbish.
I know the reason why, but it's still ******* retarded.
I really dont understand why they have to incur extra charges just for the touch users, surely this will put people off buying one!
TBH I think i will end up buying the update when it is released, but if it is anything above £15 i'll be really quite annoyed.

No it's definately some backwards US law. I'll dig out a link when I get home if you want.
Awesome. Was hoping for it sooner really though.
Pretty random that I have been saying "I hope they release a Cisco VPN client" since i got it and now look.
The enterprise stuff is going to really open this up to Business.
There so will be a hardware upgrade at the same time though. Firmware 2.0 an iPhone 2.0.
If it has 32gig and a 3g chip I will be selling mine

Nice for you, it's perfectly true...
For a device not on a subscription, there's an accounting requirement related to revenue recognition that basically requires them to charge for significant feature enhancements. Same reason they used to charge for the 802.11n enabler.
But while it's true is doesn't explain why they charged next to nothing ($2) for the 802.11n enabled and $20 for the itouch upgrade.
They do have to charge something though, there's no way round that...
It sounds backwards but there are actually fairly good reasons they do it.

Anyone watched the video?

I tried but it was so boring I had to stop.

Just had a quick look at the iPlayer, pretty cool!
Crystal clear! Even remebers where you left off if you close the programme - awesome.
It's just a shame I've only got 2MB broadband! Oh, and the Wifi obviously kills the battery.
