What if end users don't want 3.0?
What if I'm an iPod Touch user and don't want to paid for the upgrade?

I know a few friends still on iPod 1.0. They can make do with no AppStore. If Apple is forcing 3.0 down to developer's throat, does it mean end users also being forced to pay the upgrade?

Guess Apple is not recession proof after all or they don't have to do this kind of money grabs.
