I have now spent a day with the new ipod. I highly recommend it, except that it doesn't come with a belt clip like my old mini did. I showed my secretary the screen today and she could hardly believe how clear the picture was.
My favorite thing about it is when people ask me how much it cost and I tell them that I made $75 on the deal.
Follow up on the follow up...
Got a cool silicone protector with belt clip yesterday on Canal Street in NYC for $10. Amazon had a similar one for $30.

Have I mentioned that my birthday is next week?
Relevance?

i had enough points to get TWO ipod shuffles from hollywood poker, right before they kicked us all out (usa). it turned out they were the NEW model, which was released in september. 1GIG memory, and the size of an american quarter. i kept one, and sold the other on craigslist in one day for $70. not bad. | | Static Link |

Agreed.
AP is right up there with Poker Stars, in my opinion. Hollywood was also good.
Yes I agree too. their customer support is great and their cashout times are great too.

Guess depends on your affiliate? I got mine on the 15th. I think they went through some changes with the payout process this month. Check with your affiliate. | | Static Link |

But otherwise sweet info for those playing a lot at Absolute Poker.
Yeah I decided that the extra 20 GB was just a luxury... my current ipod holds 6 GB and it is only 2/3 full anyway.

| Posted by: andrew26 at November 18, 2006, 7:48 am | | Topic: Praise for Absolute Poker VIP store Forum: Bonus Whores | Late last night, I finally earned the 45,000 Absolute Reward Points required for the 80 GB Ipod through the VIP store. I sent off an email before I went to bed asking for them to process the order for the Ipod.
This morning I got an email giving me the option of having them ship the Ipod (4-6 weeks they say) or just putting $375 in my account. I took the money, ordered the 60 GB Ipod from Amazon for $302 (including next day shipping) and will pocket the difference.
This is not a bad deal and is definitely impressive service from the VIP store, and this could act as an additional $375 bonus each time you earn 45K points. If you are platinum VIP and earn Reward points at 2X the normal rate, this adds .016 per VIP point to your value.
