The iPod touch version of the iPhone Software 2.2 is available now from iTunes 8.0.2 by selecting your iPod touch under devices and clicking on the check for update/update button. It is free for users with earlier 2.x iPhone Software. Along with the release of the iPhone 2.2 firmware, Apple has published the iPod touch 2.2 update, a separate download through iTunes.

The update appears however to exclude any of the iPhone’s upgrades to Google Maps, such as Street View, public transit navigation or sharing information via e-mail.
