Order status back up...
Even in Australia, the build time is only 3-5 days...
But Australian prices are a bit higher than the 15/20GB used to be which is a bit harsh...

Yeah wasnt the 15GB $449?....not cool
And since the release of the 15GB pricing the Aussie dollar has gone up so why the price change i cannot fathom, if anything it should be cheaper.

I'd give my left you know what for a G5 iMac with a 12hr battery life ,
except I'd call it a G5 PowerBook 🙂
And if they can shave 1 mm off the size - so much the better 😉
so, do the controls light-up? I take it they don't. That would probably be highlighted on their page.

I don't think that they need too since they changed it to a click wheel. On the 3G you needed the controls to light up so you could see what you were hitting, now you don't.
Canada Music Store ?
Anyone seen the links refering to itunes music store on the new iPod page for Canada ? (store + gifts certificates)
Woohoo ! bring us the tunes (hopefully) !
Too bad prices went up in Canada too : from 399 to 429 for the low end iPod (I know it's 5GB more but still.... 😡 )

Biggest news IMO is the £100 price cut on the 40GB model.
Now, how about a rumour that Steve will pull a new top-end iPod out of the hat in Paris? 60GB plus some extra goodies that the current models don't have, perchance? There *is* a blank space on the iPod spec page to fill ;-)
I'm holding out for a 60GB model, whatever the features. I actually do need the space.

Yeah, I find it weird. Trying to access iTMS via iTunes still says it's not available for Canada, however. :-(
As for the price changes, it's 30$ more for the low-end and 10$ more for the middle/high-end model. But now it has the USB2 cable included (which I had to pay 40$ for). I find it weird there's no remote control anymore though.
UK prices
Geez -- UK prices are once again hefty, through the roof >blech<. 219 £ for the 20 GB (=399 USD) and 299 £ for 40 GB (=542 USD). 32% and 35 % markup.... We're expected to pay a third more!! crickey...

I think the pic floating around here was just a PS job from Xidius (hope I'm not misattributing.. )
FlatMac said:
I think the Gift Certificates link is there cause a Canadian can buy them for someone else but the person receiving it has to live in the US, Germany, UK or France to use it. Other than that I see no reference to the iTunes Music Store on the Canadian pages.
FlatMac said:
Dude you should see how pissed off people are in Australia!
Prices bumped up $50 from the previous models...
No carry case or remote for the 40GB... neither has the firewire 4-to-6 pin adapter...
FlatMac said:
Ya, that is a bit of a drag. However, I'm guessing the discrepancy is due to that new levy that was placed on mp3 players here in Canada 😡. So pointless....
Luckily, I get the student discount, which brings it down to $379 which isn't bad! With the exchange rate its less than the retail price in the US! 😀
It looks like I'm the only one to really quite dislike the grey clickwheel then. For my tastes it just breaks up the beautiful simplicity of the all white unit.
The Cheat said:
The levy was on the 3G models too (had been for months). Was 25$CAN for all models, and still is.
am i the only one who thinks the new ipod is ugly? I hate the clickwheel. The color looks different. And the 3g ipod only had 4 buttons, and people are complaing that they couldnt see them in the dark. 4 buttons! Its not that hard to memorize which ones do what and where they are. Maybe BestBuy or somebody will sell the 15 gig 3g at 199 now.
On Saturday, I placed an order for a 15 PowerBook along with a 15gb iPod in Apples Cram and Jam promotion. I just checked the order status page and Apple cancelled the 15gb iPod and replaced it with the new 4g 20gb iPod! Pretty cool!
new dock connector?
Don't know if someone before me posted this, but is there a different dock connector on the new models? The apple store says the new dock won't work with the other generation models.
