Though local availability of the new line of iPod Nano, iPod Touch and the 120GB Classic is still sparse, their prices have been made available on most Apple reseller stores. Just got the adjusted pricing of the new models.
iPod Shuffle
1 GB – Php2,490
2 GB – Php3,490
iPod Nano
8 GB – Php7,500
16 GB – Php9,990
iPod Touch
8 GB – Php11,990
16 GB – Php15,500
32 GB – Php19,990
iPod Classic
120 GB – Php12,300
Got hold of the new iPod Nano and the curvy edges doesn’t seem to appeal much to my design senses. I think Apple designers are running out of creative ideas. The 4G Nano is almost similar to the 2nd gen Nano so for me, this is like a design downgrade instead of an upgrade.
i like the orange ipod nano 4th gen but I will buy the Ipod touch instead
hi, what local stores are offering this new line of ipod? i’m really interested in getting the new ipod touch!

Same here, i am hoping that the availibity will come this late september. I am so in excited to get my new Ipod touch.
i believe i saw these available at the Apple store in Greenbelt.
@feefayfoo iStudio offers the iPod Touch 8GB for 11990 but they don’t have stocks yet. Not sure when they will arrive. Had one reserved.
@Raych thanks for the info. maybe i’ll do the same thing
I went to the Mac Store at Greenbelt 3 and the attendant there said that the Classic costs 14,999. Did they rollback their prices or something?
hi yuga! can you do a nano 8gb and zune 8gb comparison?
@Gerald – some stores are selling it higher than normal which is weird since the discrepancies are quite significant.
@tonti – yes, will do one soon.
@abe well, actually the design is clever, the 3rd gen was not really well fitted with the original nano line up design, it was fat. so they decided to go back to where it was before. and people like it. But aside from the design the features is the interesting part; as steve jibs says, its like the ipod touch with out the touch features hehe. can’twait for your review.
@vance – and they found that out the hard way. actually, it was clever. The 4th gen design is just the 2nd gen design with curves. If I were to choose between the 2nd gen and 4th gen designs, I’d go for the 2nd gen. The 4th gen is wickedly thinner though.
@abe for me, I won’t own one, hehe I’m into bigger capacity the better. the 120Gb is a good release from them why? MS just released Zune 120Gb that will replace the 80Gb at 250USD. with almost the same pricing from apple, competition will really heat up. and Apple hasn’t stop there, I think from here on, the prices for iPod will be lower than before.. just want to share.
Yuga, would you mind…where can i buy the new Ipod touch here in Manila?
@makulet any electric store. one would be iStudio, Powermac?!?
thanks vance!:)
i forgot..now, i remember there’s one Istudio at Gateway Mall. that’s kinda near in my place. anyway, thanks a lot for making me remember. ;]

Guys the 2G ipod touch is now available @ istudio for 15,500. They offer 6 months zero interest installment plan
is the 15,500 the 16GB?
spent the whole day in greenhills and glorietta 3+4 looking through every store yesterday (Sunday) for touch 2g. either completely sold out or “not yet available” EVERYWHERE. I begged, bribed, and bullied to no avail. This thing is out of stock for real (until “wednesday..hopefully”). Here are the quotes (lowest-highest) I received:
8gb: 13800-16500
16gb: 16100-18900
32gb: only bothered with one shop who said they had it but didn’t come through – 22800
note that all of these prices were for cash payment. MAHAL!! I got so desperate after 4 hours that 15000 seemed like a good deal for the 8gb! try again next week
side note: every store in glorietta claimed that they aren’t out yet, i.e. they either haven’t heard of 2g touch or haven’t had any yet..
extra side note: I got a 8gb nano 4g black for 7500 (yuga’s estimated price) from ambassador in v-mall, the only shop with black in stock under 8000. a lot of shops wanted 8500-9000 for new nanos.
