The Apple iPod Touch 2010 was launched last week and should be shipping and on store shelves very soon. If you’re looking for a discount on the iPod Touch 2010 devices the only place to find them cheaper than the retail starting price of $229.99 is at Amazon. Amazon has 3% off of the iPod Touch 32GB 2010 so the most popular 32GB version sells for $288.99 instead of the Apple store price of $299. Furthermore, you can avoid sales tax and get free shipping for students at Amazon which will save a few extra bucks.
