Back To School Offer Mac + Free iPod Touch

picture-45

US college students and teachers who buy a Mac get an iPod Touch thrown in a back-to-school promotion. (Fine print: you have to buy before Sept. 8 and shell out the cash for the iPod touch, which you get back via rebate. Full details here.)

The ad shows a cheerful student  whose iPod Touch displays “Monopoly” but with the iPod Touch being used more frequently in colleges for orientation,  class lectures and in some cases required or in place of textbooks having one is becoming less of a plus and more of a necessity.

    same thing they have done for a couple of years now. although I do admit with an ipod touch and not just an an ipod it is more enticing. I need a desktop for my film work but I like the notion that folks can email me and I can check it between classes with the touch.
