In brief: Free iPod with Mac purchase offer ends 9/7

As expected, Apple has sent out a quick reminder that the annual discount offer for college students -- buy a new Mac, get a free iPod touch -- is expiring September 7. While this date was expected to coincide with the rock & roll introduction event, we now know that the big shindig will be taking place next ~~Tuesday~~ Wednesday, September 1.

Got some money burning a hole in your pocket? Are you, or do you know a college student? Time for that new Mac, but it's running out.

I don't understand why you would wanna shell out for a version that's soon to be out of date. I'd just wait and get the 4th Gen, but that's my take on things.

Apple will probably introduce the new iPod Touch at next weeks event, but they wont release it for sale until after the 8th.

From the link: "If youâ€™re a college student or a faculty or staff member at any grade level and you buy a new Mac with Apple education pricing from May 25 through September 7, 2010, you can get a free 8GB iPod touch.*"

It's not a rebate for college students -- it's for anybody who attends college or works at an educational institution. I even know a retired faculty or staff member who got it, so they're pretty flexible about their definitions.

Just so you know.

You mean next Wednesday, the 1st.
