iPod range updated

With the iPod range of models updated (yet again), what can we expect to happen to freeipods.com & freephotoipods.com ? Apple is going to pull the non-color screen iPods, and there are going to be just 2 models of the "regular" iPod - 20GB & 60GB versions with color screen

Probably Gratis is going to change the iPod they offer on freeipods again )

im sure freeipods and all these sites are still stocked up on the regular ones now,..so im sure once they run out in stock, they will purchase the newer ones from apple...just a thought tho i could be wrong

I'm close to completing my freeipods, so I'd be very interested to know when people start getting the new ones...I'm going to try to hold out until then.

On the issue of stock, I don't think Gratis really keeps them much in stock. That would simply be an additional expense. I think that they place the order on your behalf once you complete the requirements and request your prize, which would mean they should start getting the new ones from Apple right away.

Nope, I don't think thats the case at all.

They won't start offering the new ones right away - that's I believe out of the question, as the price of the one they're offering is going to go way down, which translates to higher profit for them. Once they run out of the old black&white ipods, they'll replace it with the color ones

Well, I PMed Jake about it, and this was his response.
[quote1159f46fbd="Jake"]The new changes will be implemented once we ship out all of our remaining stock of the monochrome screened shuffles.

So I guess it will take time before we can expect to see some shiny new colour iPods. D

1 Comment and 2 questions

- Of course Apple would decide to make the changes right after I got my plain old non-color 20GB iPod. (I'm not complaining though!).

- How come Shyam can post even though he's banned?

- I know freeiPods takes 5 referrals but how many does freephotoiPods take and how many will the new gen iPods take?

Hmmm..... roll

How long before Gratis starts shipping the new ones? I just submitted for approval on Monday

Oh well, i was gonna trade mine in anyways... ) Getting a ipodphoto on an upgrade when mine comes in.

I went STV on freephotoipods.com the batch before they started shipping 60GB photo ipods. I know how it feels.

I was looking at my status today on freeipods and you can select the 20 gb color ipod now....It didn't change the number of needed refs either as of yet...Just to let you guys all know.
