i'd say that they are guilty of this when it comes to iTunes ringtones...that's a rip off.

the problem i have with it is that they were developing these features for the iPhone anyway... which they have provided to those owners at no cost. What's the difference between iphones and ipod touches that would justify the price for the update?

secondly, they didn't even raise the price of the following ipod models that came with the updated software. If the price was intended to cover extra expenses for developing for the ipod touch, shouldn't it be reflected in the new touch's price as well?
