Hey guys I just contacted apple online store if there was going to be a promotion of the free iPod Mini with every Mac computer purchase in europe like in the USA & Canada.

I got this reply: -

Apple Web Editor <web_editor@euro.apple.com> to me
More options 9:57 am (4 hours ago)

Hi ****

That promotion will start in Europe on August 2nd

Watch this space

Best regards
Apple Ed.

Just thought you guys would like to know :)
 
Is that when school goes back in europe? That's the only way that this would make sense.

My school goes back on August 25th so most schools, in the UK anyway, must be around that time.

Although i dont have to worry about that since im going to Uni yay!!! :)

What :eek: Schools NEVER go back in August in the UK... well only schools on the 6 term system, which 90% aren't. Anyway.. I'm going to Uni too :p so i dunno what date mine is going back.
 
I think the deal will only apply to laptops, at least that's the impression I got when I spoke to our educational contact at Apple last week.
 
This is interesting news depending on how long it lasts. If it ends the same time as the US promo, it would not bode well for any updates. But if it lasts a while longer, well maybe we might see an update in the current Student Union.

That'd be weird since the U.S. offer applies to the iBook, iMac, Power Mac G5, and the PowerBook.

God! If this turns out to be true I am going to be a very bitter man. I just received my PowerBook and I live in Europe (Denmark). A free Ipod Mini would surely be very nice. Dammit!
