    Will Ipads Purchased Now Be Upgradeable?

    If I buy now, will I be able to upgrade software to the new operating system in November? If so, will there be a cost to upgrade?

    Thank You

    At the 9/1/ press conference, Steve Jobs said that the upgrade to 4.2 (or whatever it ends up being) will be free.

    Hoping it will be free but to be honest I'd pay a nominal charge to have the functionality of the iPhone OS
    iPhone 32GB 3GS & iPad 32GB 3G - a matching pair!

    iPhone 3Gs (the second-generation, before the 3GS) can be upgraded to iOS 4.x for free, so I'm sure the iPad will be upgradeable for free, too.

    Yep, it's free. Just $699 for my iPad, $500 for the laptop I need to run iTunes on, $30 a month for a data plan, and then it's smoooth sailing...

    I just got this email from Steve --

    The 4.1 iPad iOS upgrade will be provided at no charge.

    Sincerely,
    Steven P. Jobs
    CEO - Apple, Inc.
