When you talk of Apple, the first thing that comes to mind is innovation. Here is another one of Apple’s innovations, the all new iTunes 9.2 update. Apple recently launched this latest update and it has been designed for Windows and Mac OS X. This latest update comes with a host of enhanced features and a fixes too.

The WWDC 2010 will see Apple release the iPhone OS 4.0, the third significant upgrade for iPhone and iPod Touch phones. The OS 4.0 features many new functions and the most significant of them all is that of multitasking, which will not be available in iPod Touch phones (1G/2G and 3G) and iPhone 3G. As far as iPhone 3G is concerned it is all but dead and OS 4.0 wouldn’t support it, not officially at least.

When OS 3.0 was released it wasn’t free of cost and if Apple does the same with OS 4.0 then this update wouldn’t be free of cost for iPod touch phone users. To update your iPod Touch you will have to shell out either $9.95 or $4.95 depending on your upgrade. It is totally unfair and is widely believed that this upgrade should have been for free. So, if you want this update and yet don’t want to pay for it, here are the ways to do it.

Although, it is a great piece of news for all iPhone and iPod Touch users, the iPod touch users may feel a little unhappy because there is a charge of $.9.95 for them if they want to upgrade to OS 3.0. There is no such charge for the iPhone users as all 2G and 3G users can upgrade to iPhone firmware 3.0 for free.

But there is no reason for the iPod users to get disheartened because once apple makes the release of OS 3.0 you can also update iPod Touch 3.0 firmware for free by following some easy steps.

The next step is to connect your iPod Touch to the computer. After starting iTunes 8.2 you have to select iPod Touch from the list of devices and click restore holding the shift key. When these steps have been taken care of you will have to locate the .ipsw files that you had downloaded earlier making sure that you do not get disconnected till iPod Touch has completely been updated by iTunes.

Apple has recommended the iTunes 8.2.1 update for all the iTune users. The update is of 79.3 MB and does not need a restart. iTunes 8 has Genius to make playlists from the collection of songs in your library. Genius has Genius sidebar which lets you know about the music from the iTunes which you don’t have in your collection.

The new grid view allows you to browse your artists and albums visually and you can view your preferred TV shows in HD quality by downloading it from the iTune store. With iTune 8 you can sync your media with iPod classic, iPod touch (2nd generation) and iPod Nano (4th generation) to experience an incredible music visualization.

Another new thing in the iTunes 8.2.1 update is that it supports iPhone or iPhone Touch which has the iPhone 3.0 software update. You can get your hands on this update via software update or you can download it directly from the iTunes website.

Though Firmware 2.1 for iPhone is not the unexpected release, many claim it to be unexpected. It offers few notable improvements over the initial release of the GPS performance.

Developed jointly by AT&T, Firmware 2.0.1 is a bugfix release for users of both generations of the iPhone who faced issues with stability and accelerometer on the Apple 3G.
