I think the reason that Amazon is selling the 5th Generation iPod Nanos for $20 less than list is that there are newer (6th Generation) ones. (Note product titles which clearly indicate product generation.)On Apple's site, the only new iPod Nanos for sale are the 6th Generation ones. Any 5th Generation Nanos that you see there are refurbished ones.

I don't know why they do that, but i am pretty sure that this happens with most products. Products are always cheaper on amazon!

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

With the same spec on Apple store for the model ME089LL/A, it is $2949.00 (3.4GHz, 32GB, 3TB Fusion). Don't how this listing comes up with that high price, may be it is late 2012 model, the price comes from that time frame.

In california the tax hike on a $2,000 machine would put Amazon at an advantage. It would be almost a $200 savings no matter what the price matching does. By the way, if your Mac goes bad at any time during the duration of its warrantee Apple will take care of it directly, especially if there's AppleCare involved. You wouldn't have to deal with Amazon at all unless it you were just returning it because you didn't want it.

I'm seriously pissed off about this pricing. I have an Amazon Rewards Visa card. I get three points for every dollar spent on an Amazon purchase vs one point for each dollar spent somewhere else. This is $60 above list price. It is just as cheap for me to drive to an Apple store and buy it and pay the sales tax as to purchase this iPad from Amazon. This is like a big middle finger raised at me from Amazon.

It's now 12/28/07. So what's the situation w/ leopard etc? Has any one ordered a macbook from Amazon since nov 25th 07?Amazon.com? What's the deal with not stating what OS comes with the Macbooks you are shipping out? It might be actually causing drop in Macbook sales for you guys. Get with it and state that 'yes they do come with Leopard now!' I'd rather purchase from Amazon (less scary return policy) but I might have to order from Macconnection.com as the price is the same (actually with them you don't have go thru the hassle of the rebate as their price reflects $100 discount) and their site clearly states that they do come with Leopard and iLife 08....

You (and I) might consider buying the laptop from Apple who has it in stock and buying the warranty and other accessories here. I don't know why amazon lists this if they never have it in stock and there isn't a reliable ship date estimate.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

sometimes the electronic you are on is a diffrent price. for example my iphone says it is $147.00 ,but on my computer it says it is $254.00. i would buy it from my iphone which i did buy it from there. and got it for $147.00 and i saved alot of money

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

This is the LATEST model currently offered for sale by Apple. There are rumors on the Web of a newer model coming out for the Christmas shopping season.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

After posting my earlier question I called the Apple Store and was told that they could ship a fully loaded iPod Touch (with the new applications) today. The price would still be $299.At their website they are showing the new apps to be email, notes, maps, weather, etc.I have emailed Amazon to ask if they have the same offer.

Why would they claim an orig price of $55? Who would pay $55 for this? Think the savings is majorly inflated and, frankly, irresponsible. Having said this, I have one that I bot at a discount store for $4 and I love it. To pay$6 for one is not unreasonable but to insinuate that it could be retailed for $55 is ridiculous.
