Apple is nickel and diming us.

With the release of the new iPod Touch, you can get a good deal on a refurbished model - $179 at the Apple Store, or so it seems. If you search high and low, you will not find any details on what operating system version it runs. It turns out it is the old version. You will have to pay another $9.95 for the version 2.0/2.1 software. Refurbishing a device should include putting the latest operating system on it. The decreases the difference between the new and refurbished model from $50 to $40.
