Finally, I got the update installed and all these new Apps are downright fabulous! Now my main menu is full of applications, and I’ve tried out most of them.
For some reason I can’t get the Remote to work with my blackBook’s iTunes. It pairs up fine, but I can’t seem to get the remote to connect to the library afterwards. I was looking at the AppStore and a few that are not free that interest me include the Sudoku game, the Super Monkey Ball, Pool, and maybe even Scrabble. I know they’re all games but the iPod Touch is basically a time killer when you’re stuck somewhere waiting on a bus or a train.

After boiling some rice, I came back to my iPod page in iTunes and clicked on Upgrade, and now it’s saying that 1.1.4 is the latest version! Where did the 2.0 go?! I’ll keep an eye on it as long as I can, but I hope this update doesn’t get pushed back until tomorrow! That would be evil for Apple to tempt the iPod Touch owners with all the Apps in the AppStore, and then not allow us to play for a long time. Come on Apple, don’t get rotten on us!
Edit: I just read on TUAW that the Apple servers are having trouble handling all the requests for the updates and activations of the new iPhone 3G’s. But yes, the update is live. I just got to keep on clicking on the Update button and hope Apple can find some bandwidth to share with me!

I’ve been spending more time in iTunes than on Firefox this morning, waiting for the update to be available. I just checked for updates for my iPod touch and low-and-behold the update is coming online soon as I type!
I’m guessing the goal was to have it online at 9am EST, but it usually takes a few minutes for these things to go live. Here’s to hoping the server doesn’t get bombed with download requests! Cheers!
