Hi all,
Great discussion--thanks very much.
One thing to add: we found out through hard experience that iPod Touches
before the 4th model are not accessible. (Note: Apple says the 3GS is
accessible as well--I can't say from first hand experience is this is so or
not, but I do know that 4th is, and 2nd is not.)
A good source for refurbished older models is the Apple Store, located at
apple.com.
all best,
Lynda
