Yes, it’s that time of the year again. With the purchase of a new Mac for college, Apple will give you a full rebate on an iPod Touch. This was done last year, and apparently was successful. The iPod Touch is the current 8GB model, which is not a true 3G. It will run iOS4, but not to it’s full extent. In example, multitasking will not work, and you will not be able to apply a wallpaper to your home screen. On the contrary, you can make folders, use the unified inbox, and take advantage of many of iOS 4′s other features that don’t require the faster hardware.
In order to make the deal, you must be buying your new Mac for college. You will enter some information verifying this, and then buy your iPod Touch for $199. Your rebate will be issued shortly after that.
In conclusion, if you’re thinking of getting a Mac for school, go for it! You can get a nice new computer for school and an iPod as well. Have fun!
