In case you were not aware, Apple is running a promotion right now that when you buy a new Mac you qualify for a free 8GB iPod touch. The following link had information on the offer:

The iPod touch’s are a great new iPod. They now contain all features of the iPhone except for the phone. One suggestion would be to not buy the Mac until July 11th. Apple is releasing new software for their iPhone and iPod touch and if you purchase before the 11th you may be forced to pay the $9.95 to upgrade your new iPod to the newest software. It is worth waiting a few days.
