Where is it? i would have assumed they'd release it by now? still waiting, and have apps all lined up ready to load on! .... come on apple ...

Yeah, I'm wondering where it is... Maybe it's not out yet, but I read on MacWorld UK that rumour was that it would be out the same time as the iPhone is released in NZ...

Hmmmmm...

Edit: It says on the iPod Touch page on the Apple site that it's still 'coming soon'...

MobileMe (www.me.com) has crapped out and is currently being redirected to the Apple site because of the fact so many people were hitting it. I would suspect the same might be the case with downloads.

Hmm. I don't think that there's too many people downloading the 2.0 update, because I don't think it's online officially for download from Apple yet.

Doesn't seem very fair though, considering everyone else that has bought the new iPhone 3G now has the new 2.0 software, so they can run apps from the apps store.

Yeah you can unofficially get the iphone 2.0 update, but comes with a warning that it wont work for the ipod touch, and it will restore your whole phone (erase everything on it to do so) and load the 2.0 software ...

2.0 update .... link has been removed now!!

come on apple, why not release it now?! i have allready bought games, and free remote! and cant load them on yet ....

12:55am: iTunes is reporting that software 2.0 is available for my iPod touch! It tries to send me to an iTunes Store page 'for more information', presumably on how to purchase it, but then says the store isn't available. The rest of the store is working though.

1:00am: Now iTunes says 1.1.4 is up to date

1:02am: Version 2.0 is back again!

1:05am: And it's gone again...

Oh well, I should be asleep anyway.

hahahah im having the same issues! Whats new for the ipod Touch: Apple

and it logs through to the store ... but can never home in on it!
apparently massive issues world wide ... ilounge.com:problems plague official 2.0 release

so im patiently waiting to sneak on in there ...

I think the rest of the world should stop downloading this update for a moment so that us down here in NZ can get to the iTunes page.

Oh, I woke up yesterday morning expecting the update to be there waiting, and it wasn't... Now I wake up this morning and it's ready but I can't access it!


Also, I recieved an email from Apple this morning, because I had submitted a bug report a while back. Here's part of it:

Apple wrote:
We believe this issue has been addressed in OS X iPhone 2.0.

You can update to the latest version by syncing your iPod Touch with iTunes, and you will be prompted to upgrade if you haven't done so already.

Please let us know whether or not you continue to experience this issue with the newly released software by updating this bug report.


Well, I guess we keep twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the download surge to calm down a bit...
Cheers

I just had a look at the NZ page for the iPod Touch (http://www.apple.com/nz/ipodtouch/) and noticed that it still says that the update is coming: "Applications. Coming soon."
So maybe NZ doesn't actually get the update yet, because we need to use the NZ iTunes store to access it, and if it's not there yet then we can't download it.

By the way, mobile me is up and running now. http://www.me.com
