Apple iPod and PowerBook Promo?
While the site is not an official division of Apple, we've received word that the offer is an official Apple promotion.
It's unclear, however, whether or not this promotion will be offered to other countries in the future.
Update: Apple Australia (MacMall.com.au) is also offering a $99 AUS 20GB iPod Deal (with Powerbook Purchase).

(View all)It may be that sales of PowerBooks are down in that region. Regardless, this is a great deal. $66 USD for a 20GB iPod?

I'm not sure I'd read into PowerBook updates based on this promo.

true, isn't NZ having the same problems as Australia? Super high prices?
well that is a very good deal. if i didn't already have a PowerBook and an iPod... ;) :p
NP3- yea i guess you could say that we have super high prices. but it's getting better. :) i remember when i first got a PowerBook (TiBook 667, Rev C) it was about AU$5400... or something like that. now when i got my new 1.25GHz PB it was about AU$4400. and they're both education prices as well (as close as i can remember from memory). it's definitely getting better. there'll be alot of happy people if the price keeps dropping at this rate.
At present all IT vendors (not just Apple) are pocketing huge windfalls from the plummeting US $ so at least this looks like some payback
Sadly I bought a 20Gb iPod last month! :mad:
It actually coincides with the apple australia education bundles at the moment http://www.apple.com.au/education/promos/havemorefun/ where ipods are added to computer deals (a quote from a reliable retailer stated that they are obviously shifting stock)
hey, we shoudl be getting the good deals over here in Aus first! :p

well fellow Brisbanian, checkout http://www.macmall.com.au
Renaissance are the Apple distributors for NZ, iPods are going off big time here and you could just about sell Macs as iPod life support systems! We have no iTMS here so its really a fashion deal!

However with the AUD at 80 US cents, the apple prices have not dropped at all to reflect, eg i could by a machine in america for 3/4 of the price easily. These deals must be to try and cheat us a bit.
