You don't need to pay $9.99, Apple have made it very easy to import firmware from iTunes for free. If only you have they right places to look then you have 2.1 :)

Why on earth would you torrent something which is already free on new iPods? Sorry but there are a few people who don't know what they are talking about in this thread.
1. The latest firmware comes with the iPod Touch, in this case 2.1, and you do not need to pay to access the App Store.
2. If you ever buy Coke bottles, then you should use cokezone.co.uk to try and win an iTunes song, that way you can create an iTunes account and bypass the credit card entry section.
3. You don't have to use a credit card, you can use a debit card. (Most teeenagers have Solo card and these work fine with the store)
4. The iPod Touch is a great little device, but I do recommend getting the 32GB.
I would recommend getting the iPod Touch, just because the screen is big and nice for video viewing. The classic is ok, but the screen is just a bit too small for me.
Good luck with your selection, if you get an iPod Touch, get it from Amazon.co.uk. They're £10 cheaper than they are at Apple.
I'd go for the iPod Touch, I have one and love it.
You can easily press cancel and your account will still be made without any details.
iPodTouch = the bees knees
I have like classic ipod black and white one lol dunno how much space it has though but i have 2000 odd songs on it so far.

4GB doesn't equal exactly 4000mb ;)
