I know I do.

Example: I'm checking my email. I see a little red badge. My stomach gets a little reaction. I open the app store. Sure enough, yes, there's an update. I can't click on "updates" fast enough to find out what app needs updating. It's a cool app like Beejive or Facebook. I can't click on update fast enough. Its downloaded, I open excitedly... and if its a good update, the world is okay again. Reddit just updated. It's awesome.

Oh man.. anyone else get this excited? Maybe in the time that I was typing this, an update became available...
 
LOL! Maybe not quite as excited as you, but I do enjoy seeing that developers are at work improving their software. I keep hoping I'll see an update for apps that simply don't work on 3.0 or don't work properly. Guess I'll keep waiting!

I enjoy that little red badge myself. This weekend was exciting for me, as it seemed like Apple opened the floodgates for updates - 17 in just a couple days! :)
 
Guilty!
I also get a slight tinge of disappointment when a couple of
days go by without an update.

What's a little confusing is when I know an update has been
performed but it has not loaded into my iTunes page for download yet.
 
When i check for updates i always think its going to be minor things and when its really good stuff the geek in me takes over.

i just checked for updates after i posted. :D
 
no updates so far today :(

Did I mention Updates FTW? I think I might have...

I thought i was the only one, lol.
Yes, i get really excited but i never see the red badges! i don't know why, i have to do it manually.

LOVE UPDATES!
 
Man,

I didn't think that one could be so enthused...

What I do like is the update all functionality, gets it done quickly...

I agree with that, but maybe something like Update selected because I don't want to upgrade my free AIM & get ads :(

But I also get excited!
 
Nope, I usually sigh and think "not another one!"

Thankfully most of the updates are small, I wasn't impressed with having to download a 500+ MB Myst update the other day.
 
Right now I am kinda excited. The only reason is because I know that more apps will be working better with 3.0 and not crashing as much. Otherwise, just another update to do.
 
i just had 5 and was excited. nothing real big. but i still like it. waiting on the facebook update, that will excite me. physically, excite me.

I agree. That one took forever and I can't really tell what the difference is now?
 
I don't get quite as excited as that, but even when I get a lot like I did over the 4th weekend, I read through all their descriptions. I read through 27 last weekend lol. I like getting more free additions so when they add instead of just bug fixes yes it is exciting.
 
I love updates, but I no longer get excited about them as I did before. Or actually I guess there is usually just one update that I just can't wait to get, and that's Pocket Informant's update at the moment (necessary bug fix and cool icon).
