My iPod touch has had a cracked screen for the last 6 months, and I have been wanting to upgrade my MacBook Pro because its from 2008, and I've been specifically waiting for the back to school promo so I can get the free iPod touch, and they offer me a measly $100 for the app store? I get it, students need apps, but offer the iPod touch, or $200 to the app store, or even $150. $100 is not that much money, especially when they have been giving away $229 iPod touches for the last few years, and when Microsoft is giving away Xbox 360s. Very disappointing apple. Very disappointing. Yeah, I’m pretty angry.

Although I know why they are pushing their App Store, people feel like they get better deals when they can see what they are getting (like a printer, and Ipod, etc.) like what Ian said.

Like it or not, the Xbox offer sounds a lot more appealing. People like free tangible hardware.
