Anybody know the part number of the 3rd gen 10gb iPod

[fs5]

Trying to buy one on the apple store online that's refurbished, there's no pic but they give a part number as F8976LL/A while a NEW 10gb iPod is M8976LL/A.

Did I get the newest iPod or the 2nd gen.

Did they ever release firmware to 'upgrade' 2nd gen to 3rd gen??? They said they would but I don't think they did...

$229 is third generation. $169 is second generation.

Edit: If you are looking at the $229 one, why not spend $50 more and get an additional 5 GB and the $40 dock?

honestly I don't think I would need 5 extra gb. I'll mainly use it for working out and 10 gb is plenty of music (nobody will EVER need more than 640kb! 🙂). The dock I don't think I'll use either... wait a minute, I can fleabay the dock for $35 so really 5 extra gb will only cost me $15 + tax....



I hate you AU Tiger 🙂

crap.. the 15gb comes with a case and a remote , time to change my order..

I love you AU Tiger 🙂
