    People found a way around paying for the 2.0 update. There should be a way around the 3.0 update.

    If you are a first gen touch owner, I suggest not upgrading, and waiting for the 3rd gen, or pick up a cheap used 2nd gen. I think this update should be free for 1st gen considering we can't use half the features and paid $100 more.

    June 6th is when the WWDC starts, and ends on June 10th. So somewhere in there.

    They didn't seed iPhone 2.0 until the 3g launched. Which wasn't until July. I expect the same thing this year, 3.0 will be launched alongside the new phone in mid-July.

    How will this upgrade affect jailbroken ipods/iphones?

    Yes. For all iPod touch owners, it will be a $9.95 upgrade. All currently jailbreakable devices will always be jailbreakable, regardless of software version.

    June 2nd is before WWDC, so it obviously doesn't require 3.0. Think about the touch users that don't upgrade to 3.0, is EA not going to release it for prior versions of the OS? I'd imagine they release in plenty of time before 3.0 to allow people to play through the game's entirety and crave more, and release a large DLC upgrade with 3.0 in July.

    That may be. But some features like the music etc requires the 3.0 OS.

    They can just update the app to add that feature after the 3.0 release in July

    Exactly. EA is extremely large. I guarantee that they have at least 5 dev accounts or 1 enterprise and a regular to give some 3.0 to test those features and develop independently of the 2.0 people.

    Iz you teh Tupac? :eek: See : Tupac Shakur Shakur96?
