wheres the best place to buy an ipod nano 4gb? trying to search on google seems to only bring up websites that sell them, where are shops that sell them and who has the best prices?

thanks for any help

apple store?

find a mate who is a student/teacher and get it from the apple store

they have 4gig sd cards now.. get a phone that takes an sd

You won't get cheaper then a student/teacher discount.. that is if you're buying new..

All apple prices are fixed.. Ebay if you want cheap stuff i suppose

wifey bought mine today
360 for a 4gig
through her work, i dunno how that compares with retail

EDIT: its cool, i get the shoulder strap with it for that price!

retail price for the 4g nano is $359
$299 for the 2g

My sister was buying a mini a couple of months ago and when I called up the apple store they told me that they didn't do the student discount on ipods. So yeah I'm not sure if they've gotten rid of it or not. Anyone else tried getting a student discount lately?

its on the website Yarris

Yeh i got a nano of the website for $323 took 2 days to arrive.

sounds good student seems the way then, where is the apple store though? or are you referring to the internet site?

There is a AppleCenter on 260 Adelaide in the city

Make sure you get some kind of protective case for it, apparently the screens on the nanos are rather easy to crack.

The prices are fixed in retail stores, $299 for 2GB and $359 for 4GB I believe...

Educational discount is the only real way to get a better price...

My friend just got a 4G nano for $299 from the Apple store. He used his student discount...the discount was only like $35 or something though so I dunno how he got it that low :/ I bought the gf a 2GB one on the weekend from Target for $299.

JB has 20Gbs on sale in the city for $370! f*** the nano

Yeah, I dont personally see the point of a nano, they seem to be more of a fashion accessory than anything else. Sif pay that much for a 4 gig music player, all my music wouldn't even fit on a 4 gig player =\

4gig == solid state == bettar

20Gb = more space = better

^^ until you fart next to it and HDD s***s itself

I've had no issues with the HDD on mine

ive dropped my ipod heaps of times from about arms height on concrete, pavements etc and ist still good apart from a dent here and there

top shelf lads thanks for all the help

there is no-wheregood to buy them coz the screen cracks.....trust me my wife works in a retail electrical store

Yeah, on 0.01% of them.

a problem with one manufacturing batch, affecting "less than one-tenth of one per cent" of the units shipped in which the screen actually breaks, according to Phil Schiller, Apple's senior VP of worldwide product marketing, who called it "a real but minor issue". Those will be replaced for free under warranty, he said. He wouldn't say how many that covers.

If you get one that breaks, you take it back and get a replacement. But of course, seeing as your wife works in a retail electrical store - you should know that.

Considering how many reports of cracked screens have been floating around the place, and the fact I know a couple of people myself who've had the problem, I'm disinclined to believe that 0.01% figure.

20Gb = more space = better

Agreed. And yeah, I haven't had any problems with the hard drive in mine either. Granted I have a good, protective case for it, but I take it too and from uni every day in my bag and its none the worse for wear.

but the flash mem is better if ya plan on joggin or skatim,motocross etc

nah, i get the arm band dealy for that price, so its still a deal

only reason i want a nano is my ipod is going to be for listening to tunage while exercising

smaller = betterer (in this case)

I've taken my 20Gb to the gym and had no issues at all

Yeah, I dont personally see the point of a nano, they seem to be more of a fashion accessory than anything else.

Good thing you're not a girl then. They like petite and pretty things. If it looks trendy, they like it. She'll be using it for when she's jogging, etc. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be running around with a hard drive in my pocket....do you ever just pick hard drive and shake it around violently....I know I don't. I figure solid state memory was the go in her case.

pffft 20gb ... go the 60gb :) the reason ive dropped it so much becuase its wired to my head for most of the day and i can store all the stuff i need for uni and work as well
