Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

I am ready to by my ipod touch, but I can wait a while if the new applications are forthcoming. How can we find out?
764032
:( now it says they do not ship with the other applications. I wonder if it would be the same great price when their shipments DO have the applications.
764033
It'd probably take awhile till they ship out the NEWER iPod Touch for the same great price. Haha, it's not even listed on amazon.com yet.

Just ask them. Apple's products shouldn't have any problems, and the same warranty is given no matter where you buy the iPod touch, as long as it is an Apple Authorized Retailer. I'd trust Amazon with you purchase. And there's almost no learning curve pass 5 minutes. Especially with the touch, it should be very simple.

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.
764036
I am considering paying full price at Apple Store because I don't know how to appeal to Amazon if I have problems with the iTouch. Also since this is my first iPod I already have a high learning curve and don't need to be loading additional applications.Can anyone tell me about Amazon guarantees?

Sorry, CS Graduate Assistant, but you're wrong. The new iPod Touches come with the software package for FREE. So if you bought one the day before Macworld, too bad, if you want the software application package, prepare to pay $20.

It's the same hardware, just different programs and applications. So in a sense, the price of an iPod touch went down $20.
764039
You will end up paying 300 plus tax. Which is 60 or more than the price here. You are saving 40+ dollars.The apps are easily installed from iTunes, and if you don't want to pay you can just jailbreak it. But i don't know how to do that.

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.

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.

The iPod touch is more portable, more durable and has a great OS with tons of apps, and supports a huge variety of accessories. Archos has a lousy reliability track record, an ugly user interface, and although it does support more codecs you have to purchase them separately, and they may require processing anyway. I'm certain the iPod touch will be updated, but whether Archos will support this in the future is anyone's guess.

I talked to a guy at MacMall and he told me that it included the dock and keyboard, but it was $1,500+. I emailed Amazon last night with the same question. I'll update my post it I hear anything from them. ***Amazon customer service says they don't know either. They told me I could order and send it back if it's not what I wanted.***

I ordered a 16g iPod touch from them last week, and it is on it's way on time. I had originally ordered the touch through amazon, but after the shipping date kept changing, I cancelled and went with datavis.com. I had $300 in amazon gift certificates, so I wanted to shop through amazon or one of their storefronts. UPS says I should have the iPod by Friday, so we'll see. I have my fingers crossed. I think a lot of times people only post their negative experiences on those ratings sites. At least with ebay, you are "reminded" over and over to leave your feedback.

I called Amazon about this and the Mac Mini. I was told that computers will have the older version of ILife until they are sold out of those. As of yesterday, Apple has made no arrangements with Amazon for a "free version" upgrade on units sold after the release of ILife 11.

Oh, thanks for the answer mate!But at 2011 didn't Apple release new generation of Shuffles, right?Because some reviews of this iPod are from September 10, 2010.

I believe that stores other than the Apple stores won't have them for a while. I went to BestBuy and they told me they didnt think they would have them til December, which might explain why Amazon is on preorder

I was wondering about this too. It's set to launch on Wednesday... if we pre ordered it from Amazon, will we receive our ipods in the mail on Wed?

Amazon always gives a generous blanket date on pre-released products. In my experience, they always ship within a week of Apple.

No online collaboration either :( They have some new pay-per-use thing 'in the works' (according to a contact) but by the next version they want all person-to-person stuff to be a paid service.They will be indistinguishable from Apple soon, even the help sections will be a paid for 'service' arrangement.

The iPod Touch 4 is horrible. It is RAM starved, chugs like mad and is very prone to crashing on even simple internet browsing.If you're really into this device line, I'd strongly recommend upgrading. I am a little disheartened by the specs for the new price, but if it runs in the general ballpark of the iPhone 4S, which it's borrowing parts from, then it'll be a giant improvement for you

I have 70Gb on a 160Gb iPod, and all the CDs to match. The problem I have is that iTunes is the only practical way for the touch, so unless they allow Winamp to be used with the touch I will have to stick with my old style iPod. I hope the 4.0 operating system allows 3rd party software to work, if it does then there's a 128Gb iPod touch in my future, if it doesn't then there isn't. The touch actually has two memory devices, so a 128Gb chip allows a 256Gb touch or a 128Gb iPhone. The 64Gb parts are currently going in to mass production, which allows 128Gb touch and 64Gb phones.

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.

Don't get me wrong I think macbooks are a great computer and I own an early 2008 model. However, while these new aluminum look really nice and have new features such as trackpad, graphics card, etc....the price has gone up 20% over earlier 2008 macbooks with the same processor speed(checkout macworld's benchmarks). This is revision 1 of these new macbooks....thus you are going to pay top dollar for something that has a few known bugs already(screen, trackpad). Like anything else, you will get more bang for your buck if you wait until early next year when revision 2 comes out at cheaper price points. I love the macbooks but can't recommend this one to ppl based on value for your money. Not to mention apple's new improved snow leopard OS will be coming out mid next year too.

It is eligible for apple care until next march. It was only released earlier this year.
