Is iPod Touch Update worth paying for?

I have used for the new iPod Touch firmware 2.0 since friday it has been great, fast, and responsive.

Pros:

- App Store on iPod is great, the Apps download and are installed fast. You can get great Apps, such as Facebook(free), Super Monkey Ball($9.99), Google(free), Tap Tap Revenge(free) and much more.

- Mail App support 2008 excel, powerpoint and word documents.

- Mobile Me works very good as push mail and contacts, but calendar doesn’t work very good because it pushed my iCal appointments to the iPod but the iPod doesn’t push the new ones to the cloud.

- Apple remote works perfectly with my mac, but have had some trouble setting it up on my Vista. I love it best App ever. I thank Apple for giving it away for free. If you loved the small remote that the mac brought well is similar but you can see what you are playing and see what song comes next. Imagine having this remote at a party at your house?? YOU WILL ROCK!!! I recommend this remote and Super Monkey Ball to people that like games. Yes I know its hard at first with the accelerometer but after you get the hang of this it’s a great App to have fun while waiting at a doctors office, ext.

Cont:

- Mobile me still has to improve a little regarding the push service on the calendar on my experience.

- Some Apps freeze on the iPod when installing directly from the App Store at the iPod.

Il keep you up to date with news about the 2.0 firmware Update
