Apple has today quietly released firmware version 1.1.5 for iPod touch users who have opted not to pay for firmware version 2.0.
Although Apple has offered little information as to what is included with the firmware update, reports suggest that no new features are added, which means that 1.1.5 is likely just a bug fix and stability update.
