14 DAY TRIAL // New refurbs are up for sale on the Apple Store this week. For just $99.00, you can finally get that iPod nano 8GB you've always wanted. Or, if you don't need all that storage space and just want to listen to music, the always-cool iPod shuffle 1GB can be acquired for just $39.00 from Apple's Store. Refurbished iPod classic 80GB or the touch 8GB are also available at special prices. Lastly, Apple accessories, including Time Machines' best buddy, Time Capsule, are available as refurbs too.
Refurbished iPod shuffle 1GB - Blue
The tiny 1GB shuffle can hold up to 240 songs, and boasts up to 12 hours of music playback. It is the smallest and lightest of the Apple iPod line, weighing in at just 0.55 ounces and measuring 1.62 x 1.07 x 0.41 inches. For $39.00, you get the shuffle, Apple earphones, and a USB dock to charge the device and transfer music onto it. By acquiring this device, you save 10 bucks.
Refurbished iPod nano 8GB - Black
For $169.00, the iPod nano 8GB, holding up to 2,000 songs, 24 hours of music playback, and 5 hours of video playback, ships with its own Apple earphone, USB cable and dock adapter. It is just 1.74 ounces heavy, measures 2.75 x 2.06 x 0.26 inches and simply looks great in its black casing. Personally, I find the Black 8GB nano the most elegant of the lot.
Refurbished iPod Classic 80GB - Silver
You can also get a deal on the 80GB classic ($169.00), which holds up to 20,000 songs, 30 hours of music playback and up to 5 hours of video playback. Weighing just 4.9 ounces, and measuring 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.41 inches, the 80GB iPod classic Silver also ships with its own Apple earphones, USB cable and dock adapter.
If you've finally decided on that iPod touch, maybe it's a good idea to pick up on this offer. The device normally has you forking out $229.00 for it, but this refurbished iPod touch can offer the same features for just $179.00. Speaking of which, Apple's iPod touch is by far the most advanced of iPods, boasting a considerably larger, Multi-touch-enabled display with full QWERTY soft keyboard, the Safari web browser, e-mail access, built-in Wi-Fi and more. It can hold up to 1,750 songs, but you're probably already thinking “Install iPod touch 2.1, next stop – the iTunes App Store.”
Refurbished Time Capsule - 500GB / 1TB
Lastly, if you're in need of a backup solution, maybe it's time to give Time Machine its well deserved sidekick – the Apple Time Capsule. Available in 500GB and 1TB models, the wireless hard drive doubles as a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi base station. It sells for $249 in 500GB form, and $419, for the 1TB version. Remember to check out Apple's other refurbished accessories as well, such as mice, keyboards and AirPort Express base stations.
