Apple Launches 'Back to School' Promo: Free iPod With Mac Purchase for Students
As predicted in a brief note yesterday, Apple has launched its annual "Back to School" promotion targeted at college and university students in the U.S. and Canada. The promotion offers customers qualifying to purchase through the company's education channel in those countries rebates of up to US$199 or C$219 for the purchase of a qualifying Mac and iPod on the same sales receipt.
New standard and build-to-order configurations of all Macs except the Mac mini qualify for the purposes of the offer, with a variety of rebates available for various iPod models. Refurbished Macs and iPods are not eligible for the offer, and no rebates are available for iPhone or iPad purchases.
Maximum U.S rebate amounts:
- iPod touch: $199
- iPod classic 160 GB: $199
- iPod nano 16 GB: $179
- iPod nano 8 GB: $149

The promotion runs through September 7th, 2010, and customers are limited to five rebates per household. Full details on the program are available in the Terms and Conditions for programs in the U.S. and Canada.

Too bad, no iPads.
Yeah you would think as the iPad could possibly replace all of your text books in college/high school. Maybe one of these years....

Can you use the $199 off towards purchasing a $299 ipod touch? Or do they only let you get certain products?

It's the possibly part that's a problem. As long as books aren't available on it, you won't see widespread use. If there's no widespread use, what's the rush in making books for it. Chicken and egg.
And who wants to get to class, start a lecture only to find out their battery died and they can't anote their electronic book anymore. Paper never runs out of battery.
