Amazon bumps up Gen 1 iPod touch with steep discount
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thepartim-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B0012JCZYM&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifrFrom the 9to5mac/toys section we bring you holiday shoppers the deal of the day. A new 16Gb iPod touch generation 1 for $219. That is about the same price as Apple sells its refurbished edition for and $80 (almost 30%) off of the original price. It is also cheaper than the new 8Gb Model retail price.
Inexplicably, the 8Gb Gen 1 is more at $235.
Remember Gen 1s don’t have hardware volume control, speaker, and have no capability for Mic input but are otherwise mostly the same as Gen 2 feature-wise. The new iPods also have a processor that can be ratcheted slightly higher.
Recently, analysts noted that iPods were in short supply in Amazon and other retailers’ inventories.
