What deals do they have?
Also I head that the I-Pod actually doesn't play he mp3 format. It as to convert the songs to a SPECIAL APPLE format? Is it true??? This must be annoying and inconvenient.
They are closing apple stores left and right. I do imagine there is only one, but do check apple.com.
I found ipods in SE asia to be MORE expenisve, not less.
As for the format, it will play all your existing mp3 songs. As for ripping new songs, the default setting is to rip to an apple-specific format, but that is easily set to rip to mp3. The only songs you cannot get in mp3 are songs you buy from the apple music store, those come in a special DRM'ed format.
