14 DAY TRIAL // Amazon is slashing prices for some of Apple’s old-generation products, including the second-generation iPod touch, which comes pre-installed with iOS 3.1 and offers 8GB of storage. Now available for $169.54 with free shipping, the device supports installation of iOS 4, the latest version of the iPhone operating system.
“This NEWEST 8 GB iPod touch was released in September 2009 and comes installed with iPhone OS 3.1 Software,” reads the product information over at Amazon.com. “Frequently, this model is incorrectly referred to as the 3rd generation 8 GB iPod touch. It physically looks identical to the 8 GB iPod touch released in September 2008; however, the 2008 model does not include iPhone OS 3.1 software and requires users to download it from Apple.com for a fee.”
To make it crystal clear for our readers, this is an offer you cannot miss, in case you were planning on buying an iPod touch. Although it offers just 8GB of storage capacity - which, for some, is more than enough to carry their music, pictures, and videos around with them -, the device is particularly worth looking into as it supports iOS 4. Not all enhancements delivered by Apple are going to be compatible, but most of them will. Plus, the upgrade is free for everyone. Some technical details are posted as follows over at the product’s page on Amazon:
- 8 GB capacity for 1,750 songs, 10,000 photos, or 10 hours of video - This 8 GB iPod touch includes standard Apple earphones; it does not come with earphones with microphone and is not compatible with Voice Control - Up to 30 hours of music playback or 6 hours of video playback when fully charged - 3.5-inch widescreen Multi-Touch display with 480 x 320 pixel resolution - Supports AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV audio formats; H.264 and MPEG-4 video formats; JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF - One-year limited warranty with single incident of complimentary telephone technical support
Amazon makes an “important” note saying that customers should charge their player using the USB cable for at least 2 hours before doing anything with it. The giant online retailer then follows with another list of product details, including dimensions, shipping weight etc., and then the key features of iPod touch 2G. The device ships with standard Apple Earphones, its USB cable, a Dock adapter, and a Quick Start guide. Check out this attractive offer right here.
