Rob, do you have a source that says that os 4 will be a free upgrade for touch users? When os 3 was released it cost £10 so I was just assuming that the same would be the case for os 4.
Esther, just quickly, whilst I didn't respond to the thred that someone made the other day thanking you, your posts are always so verbose and helpfull - when ever I see that you've replied to a email I know that the sender will have there answer. Keep it up.
