Updated iPod Touch to 2.0 and iTunes to 7.7

When I got back from vacation on Friday I knew that I'd have the update for my iPod Touch waiting for me - and my $9.95. It doesn't matter, I knew I was going to upgrade - it was just a matter of time.

The upgrade was exceptionally slow, however, and I have to say I was more than a bit surprised at this. Given the other iPod updates I've had in the past, this one should have been much smoother, but it wasn't. Basically, it seems that they saved a few things off to iTunes, then wiped the machine, installed the update, and re-synced all the media again. I would have expected a little more efficient scheme, but I can understand that this is a know, repeatable, reliable way of getting it done.

As a side note, I also updated my PSP over the weekend and it was faster, but that had limited functionality in comparison to the iPod Touch, and yet it went just as smoothly, if a bit faster.

I also updated my iTunes to 7.7 so that I could access the App Store, etc. I'm not planning on buying a lot of stuff on the store, but it's nice to know that should I decide that there's an app I have to have, then I can get it without any hassle.
