The problem is that Apple somehow thinks their updates are worth charging for. If someone has to update from 3.x to 4.x, the price of your app just went from $.99 to $10.99.

Ahh, you mean iPodTouch updates. Phone and iPad updates are free.

And only pre-4.0 iPod Touch updates. iOS 4.0 was the first release after the accounting rule change was implemented.

Wow, really? I wonder why people don't update then.

At WWDC, it came out that half of all iPhone owners have never plugged their device back in to their computers after initial set up. In fact, after I got my iPhone, my entire family fallowed suit, and none of them (literally 0 out of 5 people) sync their device, update it, anything. It just not something that they know to care about. Too much of a nuisance, not enough gain.

Wireless updates (announced for iOS 5) should definitely help though.

Sync is the big deal. Sync sucks.
