colour me pessimistic but i always get the feeling Apple start these 'bad guy' rumours just so they can quash them, then look how good we are to you guys?... although it's something you should have for nowt in the first place... i'm obviously getting old..

For example, if your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPad models."]]>Jul 20th 2010 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/
I upranked you, even though you basically said, "Apple really loves it is customers."]]>Jul 20th 2010 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/
Apple just loves cash and lots of it !]]>Jul 20th 2010 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/
I don't care what Apple charges me or what product it is because I'll buy it no matter what. I don't consider myself a fanboy, I just love buying superior quality products like only Apple can make.

If Steve Jobs wanted to punch me repeatedly in the throat I would gladly pay him $29.99 for the PRIVILEDGE.]]>Jul 20th 2010 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Oh yes that sounds so entirely believable! Personally I always have the feeling Steve Jobs is an android created by the US government to trick us into buying iDevices with built-in mind control, so they can recruit hordes of zombies with a single button-press, should the need for a zombie army arise... /s

Maybe you should cut down on all the FUD and hating you consume on teh interwebs, because apparantly it's making you pessimistic and paranoid.]]>Jul 20th 2010 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/

I'm pretty sure that this rumor isn't true given the fact that Apple said that they found a way to make the upgrades free for all iDevices during the iPhone 4 unveiling like a month ago. ]]>Jul 20th 2010 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Jul 20th 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/
lol, you ifans always crack me up. Nobody can give even the smallest criticism of Apple with out you all going on and on about how the site does nothing but bash Apple all the time. And when they print an update or correction and admit the information they got was wrong you use this as some sort of justification. If you don't like, feel free to leave. You might have a more fulfilling experience over at macrumors, or apple.com forums.]]>Jul 20th 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Jul 20th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/
LOL woooow, even if it drops free of charge, as it should, fact we even have to talk about it is disheartening.

For the sake of the consumer I hope it'd be free, but for the sake of laughs I hope they do charge.]]>Jul 20th 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/

Bullshit. I'm a registered Developer and there has never been any mention of this whatsoever. There is, however, an upgrade policy that guarantees that the first major iOS upgrade will be free, and right now there really is no indication this will be changed.]]>Jul 20th 2010 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Jul 20th 2010 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Well I do get notified about almost everything going on with iOS months in advance, so you'd expect I'd get notified about this too.]]>Jul 20th 2010 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/apple-to-charge-upgrade-fee-for-ipads-moving-to-ios-4/Jul 20th 2010 7:39AM
