Daily deal – Apple 80GB iPod Classic for $189

by Scott Carmichael on

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas this year? If you opened all your gifts and only ended up with a new sweater and a gift card to a bankrupt store, then now is the time to treat yourself to something shiny and new.

Newegg.com currently has the Apple 80GB iPod classic on sale for just $189.

This low price is quite unheard of in the world of the iPod, and usually only happens with refurbished or “last year” models of the popular player. To make things even better, Newegg will also ship it to you for free.

There are other players out there, but the iPod is still the undisputed winner, and at this price you really won’t find anything better. Included in the box is of course the iPod itself, as well as a USB cable, a docking adapter and a pair of headphones.

Daily deal – Apple 8GB iPod Touch for $199 (refurbished)

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for a great way to save almost $100 on the popular Apple iPod Touch. This version has 8GB of storage, which is enough for up to 1750 songs, but you can also load photos and movies on the device.

In addition to being a “normal” iPod, the iPod touch also has a web browser and email program, which makes it perfect for using on your next flight, if it happens to come with wireless Internet access!

With the new Apple “App store”, you will even be able to download applications to the device, including several very handy travel programs. To get these new features, you will have to spend an additional $9.95 for the iPod touch software upgrade.

The iPod has been refurbished by Apple, which means it was once returned to them, and was brought back to its “as new” condition, and my experience with Apple is that a refurbished iPod is indeed impossible to tell from a new version.

The refurbished Apple 8GB iPod touch comes with the same one year warranty as their new players, and in the box you will find the player, a pair of headphones, a USB cable, a users guide and a stand (which is just a small piece of plastic).

If 8GB is not enough for you, you’ll also be able to find the 16GB and 32GB versions in the store for a substantial discount.

You can find the refurbished Apple iPod Touch here, shipping is free, and you can pay using all major credit cards. Apple has to charge sales tax in most states where they have a retail store, so your total price will be around $210.
