Ipod 3.0 software update

The iPod3.0 touch software update doesn't look that compelling for the iPod touch first generation. Here's what they advertise as new:

• cut and paste - want
  
• landscape keyboard - kind of want
  
• spotlight search - meh
  
• buy media on your ipod touch from itunes - do not want
  
• stereo bluetooth - could not use (2nd generation only)
  
• head to head games - could not use (2nd generation only)
  
• shake to shuffle - do not want
  
• parental controls - do not want
  
• new languages - do not want
  
• automatic wifi hotspot login - do not want
  
• push notifications - probably won't use
  
• itunes store account creations - do not want

My question is whether I will have to pay the $9.95 just to keep
up-to-date with security updates and bug fixes for the older
version of the iPod touch operating system.
