Has Apple done away with the education discount on iPods?



Apple dropped the prices of the 5.5 gen video enable iPods, and everyone rejoiced. But take a look at the picture above. Notice anything? Of course you don't, but what if I told you I took this screenshot from the Apple Store for Education?

That's right, the price of all iPods (video enabled, nano, and shuffle) is the same in both the regular store and the education store. It would seem that Apple has done away with the education discount on all iPods. We haven't received official word from Apple about this, so the education discount might make a comeback but I'm not that optimistic about that.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Update: A secret TUAW mole in an Apple Store (somewhere) tells us that education discounts for iPods are, in fact, gone for good.

Update II: The saga continues. Jacqui over at Infinite Loop bought a brand new iPod nano and received the education discount, at the insistence of an Apple store employee. Curiouser and Curiouser.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
