Apple Launches Back to School Promo: Free iPod Touch with Mac Purchase

No, the only way of getting around the mail in rebate is to be a resident of Connecticut or Rhode Island where it is an instant-rebate at the point of sale. They just reduce the price of the iPod to a penny and so there is no UPC to cut out or form to fill in correctly. Post it on craigslist and you could probably sell it that very day
Any idea if this would work for someone who isn't a CT resident but makes a purchase there?
Currently on a iBook G4, and looking to upgrade soon. I'll be able to access the HE store from my university here in the UK, so that'll give me a nice discount. Then on top of that, I'll be able sell off my iBook, and probably get back about £350 easily. (still got applecare for several months, and its one of the last revision model). Then.... if I get a free iPod with the promo... and if I sell THAT for around £150 probably...
I'd probably be able to pick up a brand new Macbook for around a hundred pounds!
But then there is that part of me that would REALLY like a Touch. Then again, the money could also be spent on so many other things, ie: Time Capsules,
TV...
It hasn't even been announced yet here in the UK, so hopefully we'll see some revisions on hardware before then. And by then, I'll have made up my mind!

I sent the mail-il form 2-3 weeks ago, should I worry if I didn't receive anything yet? On the website, they say I need to wait few weeks and when I click on the page to check my rebate status online, they say I can only check 4-5 weeks after the submission.
This means I shouldn't worry, but it seems like most of the people received their rebate within a week :/ ...
By the way, I bought from the canadian store.

Okay well Apple sent me an email two days ago saying that they have received my submission (that's about time :/ !) and saying that I should have my rebate in the next six to eight weeks.
edit (august 1st): just received my cheque =O

Where did you purchase your iMac? I am also a CT Resident.
