Will OS 4 be free like every other update for the iPhone?

I hope they don't start charging us for it like they do to ipod touch users.

You answered your own question.

It should be. The original reasoning was an accounting basis. The iphone guarantees a monthly revenue stream, while the touch does not.

Apple is using an accounting rule that allows them to spread the income of an iPhone across 2 years so they can offer free updates. That being the case, I'd say it will be free for both 3GS and 3G owners. It anyone's guess about older hardware.
