Who has the best deal on a 8GB iPod Touch?

[spacescape]

Just wondering... Amazon has them for $189.00. 8GB is all my kid needs so no reason to talk me into a 32GB model. In fact, I really wish I grabbed a refurbished a few days ago when Apple had them (I think)... I could probably even settle for a previous generation if I could find one "new" or "apple refurbished".

Well, the 64 GB 3rd gen refurb is only $249 from Apple right now.

One of the reasons I got a 32 GB Touch back in mid 2010, was that it was going to be fully supported by iOS 4 and above. The 8 GB model is actually a 2nd gen Touch. That is something that you might want to consider.

My 32 GB Touch is over half full, and I really don't have all that much on it...

8 GB is the current revision... Retinal display, Camera, Video and FaceTime.

The current 8GB is not a 2nd Gen model. It has the same processor and the same screen as the other 4th Gen models as it is a 4th Gen itself. Check the specs here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html

The "3rd" Gen 8GB iTouches actually had 2nd-Gen innards.

One of the benefits of being the slowest to post is having the last word… Yeah, that's it!

If you have any need for Target gift cards, you might consider the 32 GB model just the same. Target has it for $295 with a $40 gift card. You can stack this 10% off iPod printable coupon to knock $29.50 off the price:

In addition, Target is also giving out a $10 gift card with a $75+ purchase through Saturday 12/17 at noon.

If you're set on the 8 GB, it would be $170.10 (after coupon) + tax with a $10 gift card (if you buy it before noon). The 8 GB isn't eligible for the $40 gift card, however.

Yep.

I think get the 4th gen. Just for the extra longevity. Everything goes obsolete so fast now. Ymmv

Thanks. This is for a 4 year old (instead of a LeapPad) so I think an 8GB model would be perfect. Thanks for the coupon.

We picked this up today... It was $195 in the store but got 10% off and $20 worth of gift-cards ($10 per $75).
