Free 8GB iPod touch during Apple education promo

Apple is once again offering an educational promotion where qualified collegiate buyers can get their hands on a new iPod touch for free:

Whether it's for a first year or a current university student, the faster, more powerful Mac is the ultimate computer for school. And now it includes something extra special. When university students buy a qualifying Mac, they'll get a free 8GB iPod touch. And they'll save even more with Apple education pricing. This offer is for a limited time and is available only at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Campus Stores.

Yeah, the 8GB which is basically a 2nd generation model. But hey, free is free. Anyone taking them up on it?

How to tweak your Jailbroken iPhone

    You could always sell the iPod :p.

  2. Billy says:

    I hate when they do these adds. I just bought a mac for school and they diddnt have it then. But now that school is out there doing it. Rubbish

  3. Joel says:

    That's how I got my MacBook Pro! I already had an iPhone, so I gave the iPod Touch to my sister.

    I love my MacBook!

  4. Luke W says:

    I remember a year and a bit ago I brought an MacBook (my first mac!) with my education discount and I was able to get an iPod Nano 4G for only $20 which wasn't bad. They have made the offer now but I would give it (ipod touch) away to a family member or something because i've already got my iPhone.

    I would think you'd get better grades and higher grades if you didn't start a sentence with a conjunction. Or is beginning a sentence with 'And' acceptable in US tertiary institutes?

  6. Tenor146 says:

    I'll be buying my MacBook pro before college starts in august, and since I already have my iPhone, and will be getting the 4th gen iPhone to replace my 3G, I'll be selling the iPod for an easy $200. =]

    Scott,

    Despite what some English teachers may say, it has been quite acceptable to start sentences with "and" and also "but" as a literary device. The US picked that up from its Anglo-Saxon brothers across the pond, who have been doing that for a very long time. I do not know if starting a sentence with "or" is equally traditional.

    Does a mac mini qualify for anything?

  9. mike says:

    I bought mine at Best Buy. They price matched the discount but no free iPod. Thats okay. I like their protection plan better, but a new iPod would be nice.

  10. Scott says:

    jlc,

    My use of 'or' was facetious. But maybe that type of humour was something you didn't pick up from your Anglo-Saxon brothers across the pond. I'll try some slapstick for you next time :)

  13. You made various good points there. I did a search on the issue and found the majority of folks will go along with with your blog.
