Apple gives you a free ipod after 6 years
Does not work for everyone, but for those who have the 1st generation ipod nano you get a free one

the 6th gen nano is pants though
they have dramatically reduced the functionality, to the point where I had to either pay way over the odds for a generation 5 (for my daughters bday) or buy an ipod classic
I have bought the classic

true -- and maybe compared to the gen 1 it is not too bad (and hats off to Apple)
but when I did 5 mins research on it a few weeks ago, I could not work out why the new (if you could get them) 5th gen nano's were twice the price of the gen 6, and indeed second hand 4th and 5th gens were about the same price as a new gen 6
so i did a bit of digging -- and the 6th gen is basically a old style shuffle with a touch screen
the classic looked like a much better deal

ust dug out my old first gen Ipod I gave to the mrs which she never uses and it has worked, apparantly apple will send me a box to ship it in and I get a new one back which will promptly be sold on Ebay or at CEX, I still have a perfectly functional 4th gen Nano

Don't get too excited, I read somewhere that apple are replacing them with 1st generate like for like models

Toad in the hole BTW. The Toad was burnt though or was it the hole ?
Anyway I diversify. Yes i'd be suprised also if they had a massive amount of 1st generation nanos when they will probably get requests in the 10's if not 100's of thousands.
We will see though

I doubt they hold stock of those . And even if they decided to replace like for like, they would have to retool the whole line which would not be cost effective. Much simpler to just send out free gen 6 ones. But.......we could all be getting dodgy 1st gen that they have squirrelled away in some land fill who know

Has anyone recieved their returns pack yet?
I've got a card from the posty to say there is a package too big for the letter box to collect, as I haven't ordered anything else I have to assume it's the returns kit but I expected a pre paid iffy bag or similar?
Anyone got theirs?

Well ive registered mine today, just got to wait for the box to arrive.. mines in mint condition and with a good battery life too..... shame really but hey ho.. don't want to end up with a knackered unit cos it overheated, although after 6 years you'd of thought it would have happened by now :/
