BTW, 30gig refurbs are on the site again!!!

I ordered one of those, too.

Right now, you can get a 30 GB for ~$375 at Dell Home. 10% automatically off, $30ish off with coupon code found on overweight-purse, plus shipping. Pretty good deal for just $20 more than a refurbished. I am still debating whether to spend this much money for an MP3 player...

$359 new with ebates.

ordered 09/12
shipped 09/23

refurb 10gb iPod MAC

It got delayed about 3 or 4 times, had to reply to the email twice to tell them to continue my order, latest delay date was 9/25, which I received today and replied to today. About 10pm I got the shipment notification email. My shipping was also upgraded from ground to 2day after I replied to the first email to continue my order, I didn't request it the shipping upgrade but it was automatically given.

Just called up apple - They said that the items have arrived and it is going to ship today( sep 24'th ) and I will get it by tommorow - sep 25'th ( I had my shipment changed to standard overnite - so I can get it by tommorow ) .... Hopefully I think the supply demand has been dealt with and all those people who waited will be getting their ipods within 2 days time. Also - the CSR sounded as if they have many items in stock - so probably you guys can safely purchase the windows version available right now......

CSR I spoke with indicated that mine should ship in the next 24 hours as well. One thing that I thought was weird and probably was a sign that it was about to be shipped was that I received an invoice for my upgraded shipping ($ 0.00) last night even though they changed the shipping method five days ago.

I sent in the email this morning. I hope I get the good news today.

 

[LordJezo]

Must resist $169 iPod urges........

 

[zodder]

I called to try to switch the Mac version for the Windows version and they said my order was in the process of being shipped! Looks like Monday is the big day.

 

[scottbly]

Damn. Mine just got delayed yesterday for another week. I'll shoot them off the email and then call them up. What should I say to try and menouver (sp?) myself a shipment soon?

 

[jedimastereLmo]

Damn you guys.. couldn't resist!! I also ordered a dock because it doesn't come with one. Thanks for the heads up.

Unless you purchased the $229 IPOD you do not need a dock. The 2nd generation ipods do not use the dock.

i received mine few mins ago. i ordered mine on 10th or 11th and was shipped on 22nd. took a while for apple to ship it but i think it was worth the wait. =)

 

[LordJezo]

Has anyone tried the FM transmitter?

if you mean the thing that allows you to play you iPod via your FM radio in your car, i heard those suck compared to a line-out cable.

Perhaps you should read more?


Review of the Digianna (I've got one of these and I think it works just fine in my Passat). -No it's not hi-fi, but I'm doing okay with 160 kbps tracks from my MP3 player.

Review of the iRock

Cheers,
Gabe

 

[jasonja]

Yeah, I'd like to hear from someone that has the iTrip. That looks ideal for my iPod in the car, but the reviews of it don't seem encouraging.

I wouldn't call it digital quality by any stretch of the imagination, but it was at least FM radio quality.

FM quality sucks.

Also the second review didn't mention anything about sound quality. It's probably convenient and easy to use, but if you're going to use an FM transmitter you might as well encode your MP3's at 64kbps, IMO
