That is so true. In fact, it's the best point I've seen made in this thread so far.

The point is that it will happily let you download a new version, overwriting the old one in the process, only for you to later discover that the new version is not compatible with your OS version. So you are worse off than when you started.

I've virtually bricked my iPod Touch because of that. All the apps are now useless, and I'm left with an expensive MP3 player.
