The iPod touch is like a computer. The iPhone/iPod Touch OS is improved occasionally, and when it is, Apple charges for the upgrade. It's very much like buying Windows 7 to upgrade your PC from Windows XP or Windows Vista, or purchasing Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" to upgrade from "Leopard."

The reason Apple does not charge iPhone owners the same fee is that iPhones are subsidized via a two-year wireless contract, which includes the cost of any upgrades to the iPhone OS. iPhone owners pay an initial purchase charge, plus at least twenty-four additional installments. iPod touch owners only pay for the device once.
