Apple has launched a new back-to-school promotion: purchasers of a new Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Power Mac G5) before 16 September 2006 will receive a free iPod nano by mail-in rebate:

Mac - it's the perfect college companion. It runs Microsoft Office, so you can get your work done. It lets you video chat, build a blog, create a podcast, and more - right out of the box. And it has great security features to keep all your stuff safe and out of harm's way.

When you buy a Mac and iPod Nano by September 16, 2006, your iPod nano is free after mail-in rebate. Or choose another iPod and enjoy big savings after mail-in rebate. Plus, use your education discount on other products to save even more.
