Apple Looking To Charge For Upgrades

Apple announced last week that Mail, Maps, Stocks, Notes and Weather are all coming to the iPod touch. New touch owners can get them all for free, but early adopters will be asked to pay $20.

iPod Mods offer 100GB Upgrades for iPods and Zune

iPodMods are offering to spruce up your favourite media player with a massive 100GB of storage.
