Apple has announced the 2007 s Back-To-School promotion. Qualified students who buy an iPod at the same time they purchase either a MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro can get up to a $199 rebate. The promotion runs through September 16, 2007. This is a great deal for students because they can get the rebate on top of the education discount. It's a great way to save.

Apple has posted the following on their Back-To-School Page:
"College just isn’t the same without a Mac and an iPod. They make the tough stuff like reports, presentations, and research a little easier. And the fun stuff like music, photography, and movies a whole lot more fun. So whether you’re a new or returning student, a teacher, or a faculty member, you can start the school year off right. Buy a Mac before September 16 and get a free iPod nano by mail-in rebate."

The Apple Store shows the following image for the Back to School Promotion:

Students have the option to take a $199 credit and apply it towards a more more expensive iPod if desired. It appears as though the iPhone is excluded from this promotion. You can find out more details at the Apple Store.

Steps to get your iPod

Shop for a Mac.
Choose a new MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro.
Buy an iPod.
