I have to say that I do think it is funny that ipod touch users have to pay for the upgrade. 3.0 upgrade has many more features for the iphone than the ipod touch. Since upgrading, I really only use the copy and paste and spotlight. Sure, there are other minor improvements, but I do find it ironic that the ipod touch 2nd generation users are required to purchase. In any case, $10 isn't that much for me to really kick and scream, but I hear what your saying.
On top of that, spotlight isn't 100% yet. I find that if I type in an event, in spotlight to find on Calender, it only brings back a few of the times the event shows up on my calender. I can confirm that events that don't show up in spotlight are in fact on my calender on my ipod touch.
Copy and paste seems great....but whoopeee. My old Palm V had this feature 8-10 years ago.
Today I tried out the find my iphone feature. Really not that great on the ipod touch. First of all, your ipod touch has to be connected to a wifi network meaning that if you dropped it at a restaurant or movie theatre etc., your out of luck. Second, you will get a general location since it doesn't have a GPS. Finally, on my ipod touch, I turned the sound all of the way down and then tried the feature. I couldn't hear any sound and then realized that volume does matter for the ipod touch. So, it really isn't all that helpful here either.
I guess gaming between ipod touches could be cool, but I have yet been able to try that out.
So for me....it has been a pretty expensive copy and paste.
There was a list of really important things that I sent to apple 8 months ago that I was hoping to see improvements on. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any improvements on those areas. Some of those things are:
1. After you have saved an event on a calender, you can't move it to another calender.
2. Contact Groups. Really pretty screwy on the ipod touch. If you have groups formed with other groups, then the ipod touch will not show those other groups in the group.
3. Email groups. I guess I am the only one on the planet that would love to be able to select a group to send emails out to. You can currently only add one contact at a time and definitely not add a group.
I have other things, but it really belongs in its own post. So my point is that I was hoping to see other improvements that would really benefit both ipod touch and iphone users and I feel that the features mainly improve the iphone, yet ipod touch users are hit with the cost.
