in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
I am a college student and after a few drinks I decided that I was going to buy an iPod. What's the difference between the 'old' 15gb and the newer 20gb- if any?



and on an unrelated note- why is apple.com charging me 30 bucks tax but macmall wont?



apologies if this post is out of the Current Hardware's realm.



Thanks

    If you mean "old", as in "it was the new one 2 weeks ago", there isn't any difference other than the size AFAIK.



    Moving to Digital Hub too, the forum for iPod discussion.



    Welcome to the boards, dude.

    5 GB. That's it, same great case, just more room for music. and I don't know why Apple charges sales tax but Mac Mall doesnt. Get your iPod through Apple Education though. $369 plus tax, but you get free shipping, so it all evens out. Congrats on the decision, I was sober when I bought my 30 GB....

    A company must charge sales tax if they have a presence in the state that the purchaser is from. So, MacMall is located in a particular state. If you're in that state you have to pay sales tax. Apple has stores and offices in many, most, if not all states. So, no matter where you are they have a physical presence and we have to pay tax.

    i also noticed one more thing on the macmall website... for the 20 gig it states "new ipod dock." This is the only listed difference in features between the two.



    any clue as to whats so new about the dock?



    thanks for your replies

    Same dock as the previous 15 GB version. Like others said, it's exactly the same, in every detail, as the 15 GB except it has more storage.
