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.
