Is it the new nanos then, not the old stock?

And shame you don't get one with a Mini too, can't see anything about it being limited to one per person...

I read the T&C and it says all iPods so I guess it must mean the new ones
Have a read here (PDF link)

I'm a bit confused; it says 'free iPod Nano' on one page, and then says it's an £85 rebate on another page...which is less than what the Nano costs.

EDIT: Never mind, just read that PDF.

I was going to wait until Leopard came out before buying, but as that could be end of October, I might just get my MacBook now and pay for the upgrade later

nah, i didnt really like the size of the macbook, its too small to do webdesign etc (even with my 22in monitor), and just not comfortable, but i was going to live with it anyway. but this pushed me over the edge

You're using it as your main system? I could see how the MB could be cramped
