After months of strict control, Apple welcomes software developers to build applications for the iconic gadget--and also gives it entree into Corporate America. The iTunes-controlled service will be free for iPhone users, but there will be a nominal fee for iPod Touch users.

Yup, iPod touch owners are definite winners here (speaking as one very satisfied such owner).

The only downside is the “nominal fee” for non-bugfix software updates, but frankly, $20 was cheap for the additional apps in January, and I have no doubt that a similar figure will be good value at the end of June.

If I understood the keynote correctly, there will be no additional fee for the iPod touch update in June... Jobs' words were (approximately, if I recall correctly) "The iPhone OS 2.0 will be made available to owners of the iPhone and the iPod Touch in June, for free."

I'm pretty sure he said iPhone for free, but iPod touch for a “nominal fee”, but I could be wrong?
