Most likely will not. Because it will cost $9.99 to get it from Apple

I downloaded the file for mine and it messed it up to the point where iTunes forced me to restore it from the backup before I attempted to update it. If any one finds the link for the iPod Touch please post it here.; Like this Reply to this comment

by easoto July 10, 2008 6:17 PM PDT: The upgrade did not work for me under my Windows XP / iTunes 7.7. After the "upgrade" the phone would sit in "recovery mode" forever and iTunes restore would not work. So, I switched to my MAC and tried there... all worked well. Looks like there may be an issue with iTunes 7.7 under Windows XP. Good Luck everyone!!; Like this Reply to this comment

by jonstirling July 16, 2008 9:46 AM PDT: Upgraded my iPhone 1.x to 2.0 about 5 days ago. Here is what I have found:

* It eats more battery in normal use. Near constant charging is required now.
* Runs slower over time(memory leaks?) - SMS keyboard slowing down is you signal to reboot.
* Must do a cold boot daily to guarantee that it runs smoothly now.
* 3D Games literally kill the battery.
* My gut impression is that this OS is still way too shaky to release.
* Considering rolling back to my old iPhone OS - scary. $10 says I have issues doing it.
* AppStore is cool - but a major disappointment. Most App's are garbage.
* Phone likes to do 'software hangs', killing interactivity with the phone.
* Feels like I need a memory upgrade for the phone, like a 5 lbs. bag with 10 lbs. of software in it.

I believe it is still a half baked release, and it scares me a bit. This is my primary phone. The last thing I need are software issues. Tough to consider this phone something you could use in an Emergency. Beware.; Like this Reply to this comment
