iOS 5 to be released as a free update on October 12th
iOS 5 is slated to be released as a free update on October 12th for current iOS users. This is a bit different than in the past where iPod Touch users typically had to pay a fee of $9.95 for major iOS updates.
This probably means the rumored October 14th release date for the next hardware version of iPhone is right on track. Software typically is released officially just a few days beforehand so the new hardware can come with new software straight out of the box.

Nothing about a gm to developers?
Has it been that long since I just had an iPod touch, but I thought that iOS 4 came out as a free update to iPod touch users. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only update you had to pay for was iOS 3.
Well, I'm so glad I'll now be able to send a postcard to a friend - providing I'm in the US at the time and willing on blowing $2.99 - but I still see no reference to the ability to add attachments directly from Mail. Oh, and the ability to call up a contact using their name and a couple of taps on a keyboard. You know, something both useful and features such lowly competitors as Blackberry have allowed users to do for years.
Have I missed something, or is Apple maintaining its quixotic stand, even sans Jobs?
