And graduate to an IPad
The annual get-ready-for-a-new-iPod sale.
I wonder if best buy will just give it to you off the bat again this year. And I wonder if they’ll take the $199 towards an ipad? I’m not they would but I am getting a new MBP. I’ll be happy with the touch but an ipad would be sweet as hell.
iPad does not count. Guess it’s not a Mac

Does Apple email students or schools/colleges somehow? Otherwise how do they know about the promotion?
Since Apple is also unloading the low cap iPhone inventory, maybe this means the new iPod Touches will be out before September?
College and university students all over the USA knows this great deal by now as it happens every year same time frame!!!!!!!

Corporate world be ready for all these “new” experienced Mac savvy users
Old virus prone pc get out of the way of “momentum” Mac products!!!!!!!
Buy AAPL stocks! Whatever Europe!
It will go Up as Apple continues its $profits!
Go to Fry’s Electronics and you’ll save $100 bucks with no rebates on a 13″ MacBook Pro priced at $995 plus paying full cost for the 8GB iTouch … That’s $104 lower than the Student cost at the Apple Store for the exact spec’ed computer … Congrads to all Grads!
What checks does Apple do to ensure that the purchasers are in fact students or teachers?
Any?
Cubert, I suppose Apple might audit a sample of online sales, but they have never checked my purchases that I know of.
Back-to-school season is always a good time to move the remaining iPod touch inventory, especially the 8GB model that will not be able to do third-pary app multi-tasking under iPhone OS 4.0.
Now, I wonder what the new iPod touch will look like. Maybe it will look the same as the new shiny black and white iPhones, except with the phone and GPS parts not present. That would make sense, because those new iPhones shown in the “leaked” pictures look more like “iPods” than previous models.
