There's no leftover stock. Once they stop selling a model they mark it down for a bit and clear it out. If after a month or so of that they were are any still left they are turned into service stock.
The reason they can do this and why it takes up to 6 weeks is that some states in the US require that they still be able to service all computers etc for up to 7 years even at customer cost. So Apple has had to keep a limited supply of parts etc to make such units for legal reasons.

You can't. You will get exactly what you sent in. no exceptions.
Good old days
Not at all. Just a touch nostalgic at the good old days, when the "don't steal music" motto was critical to Apple's success in winning over the industry.

Nope. Thats what they used to put in the packaging My 1G(B) Shuffle has a card with that on it. On the opposite side of the card it says "FREE MUSIC" and shows the iTunes Store's free single of the week feature.
I have 2 Nano's that I bought from the thrift store Now I will be able to get SCRATCHLESS ones!
This might be out of line and a mistake and I am sorry if it is and will remove the post if necessary, but is anyone willing to sell there replacement iPod Nano 2 Gen? I always liked the design and was wondering if someone did not want their replacement. If you are interested could you please PM me? Thanks and sorry if the post was out of line and I will delete it if it is.

It's worth a shot, possibly they might.

If you look at the history of such bills at the start of every campaign season there is such a bill debated. All they are doing is putting down markers for campaign contributions.
It's fascinating that, rather than objecting to being told something you already know and understand, you instead object to the notion that you can't do whatever the hell you like.
Thank you! Well said. It *is* written as a command. Personally, I think it's a joke. If someone's illegally obtaining music, a freaking sticker is not going to deter them or make them change their habit. Apply only puts that on there to cover their ***.

Since these are effectively the same thing as Genius Bar replacement, the correct term is "remanufactured" as refurbished means more of the original is kept. With these, everything the user touches and interacts with plus the battery and [sometimes] the storage are replaced.
Nothing wrong with that. I, too, feel it's not Apple's business - or anyone else, for that matter - to tell me what to do. I'm an adult, I know what's right and what is wrong. The reminder is more of a command, and that in itself is annoying. Perhaps if it were written in a different tone it would be less intrusive. There's many of us who don't appreciate being told what to do.
thats awesome!
1. my iPod doesnt hold a charge
2. this iPod i think was the most aesthetically pleasing.
it will be awesome to rock a 6 year old iPod that many will not have seen.
now that is being different =D

Woo! I'm so happy that it's a first generation nano. I can't wait to receive a completely scratch free version.
Sending mine out tomorrow.

Sign me up as one who still hasn't gotten a box yet. Filled out the form on Saturday and starting to get a little nervous about it.

What a twisted logic, so if you total a 2005 car then are you entitled to a 2010-2011 one from your insurance?
Entitlement indeed

I am disappointed. However I intend to let all the chumps send in their units and I'll wait until the last possible minute to send mine in. If their stock of refurbs still hasn't run out, WTF are they doing with so much old hardware?
Its small, works, and is reliable. Plus not everyone replaces their devices every year. Some of us still use devices until they stop working.Why does anyone still have this iPod?!
People use iPods to play music, not steal it. The court case wouldn't even get started. Lawyers always win, when will Americans see that?
Well THEN!!!!!
Please start re-production of iPod Nano 5G model!!!!
In retrospect the 5G was the apex of the iPod line to date.
And if you put in 32GB it would REALLY take off!!!!
Is that asking too much?
