iPod Touch in the Philippines

Apple just unveiled a new version of the iPod, which has a touch-screen like the iPhone, wireless internet access (WiFi) and a Web browser (Safari), but does not have cell phone capability and without the speakers and built-in microphone.

iPod Touch

It will ship worldwide in the next few weeks so it won’t be long before it arrives here in the Philippines. An 8Gb version will sell for $299 in the US and a 16Gb version for $399.

    we already have the iPodTouch in canada. i didnt expect it to be more expensive than us. the starting price is $329 and that is without tac. *sob*

    thats hot!! but coming up with an 8Gb ang 16Gb “ONLY” varieties is lame. i was expecting something more than that Steve. a DVD movie handbraked would be equal to 1Gb already. that means 25 movies only. my old ipod video has 25Gb of music in there. i know that its thinner than the iphone but why dont they make it thicker and put more memory in there. tsk tsk…im going for the ipod classic.

    I hope I could buy this gadget. I really love Ipod Touch since my first touch of it.

    Is there a service center for ipod touch in the philippines that could replace the defective battery of my unit (first gen) ? I will be very grateful for any assistance.

  • sara

    I also have the same problem with my 1st gen. Two weeks ago, the small (upper right corner) and big (center during charging) icons doesn’t match. The small icon indicates that it’s fully charged but the big icon is just 3/4 filled. Every time I charge there on, the bar keeps depleting … now, the big icon is only 1/4 filled. :(

    I’ve asked PowerMac here in the Philippines but they don’t do battery replacement.

    try ninyo sa Mac Store sa 5/F ng SM North EDSA Annex baka they do replace batteries?

  • sara

    no battery replacement nor repair at PowerMac. if it’s still under warranty, they send it to their San Juan branch. Apple replaced my unit since warranty just lapsed a month. i had to call their SG branch to report the incident and it took about 2 to 3 weeks to get the new unit. anyway, it was worth waiting rather than having it fixed/repaired for 4K.

    will apple store here in the philippines replace a damaged ipod touch?

  • sara

    hi katcee,

    if it’s within warranty, call first the PowerMac branch in San Juan. explain to them what happened to your iPod Touch. they’ll give you tips on what to say/explain to SG branch. SG decides whether to replace or not the gadget. they’ll immediately give you their decision.

    hope this helps.

    i love this ipod touch. i saw this already in person because my cousin have one. i really like it.!.. i want to buy this gadget. is it 14 thousand? i thought it is only 8,950 because i research the value of it last night. 199 dollars so i convert it into peso so its only 8,950.

  • sara

    hi carmela,

    usually, the published price is for the 8GB. if you want to really enjoy ipod touch, get a higher GB.

    does anyone know if the 3rd gen “battery life span” is better than the 1st gen?

    the replacement unit i got from apple in august 2009 is having the “battery dead” symptoms my original ipod touch had. i’m actually growing weary since it’s only been 9 mos and the apple reseller’s head office told me that it won’t get replaced anymore. the customer service is suggesting that i trade it in either for the same model/capacity for 13k or get the latest gen for a 10% discount.

    for those who have the later gen, has the battery life span improved? how old is your ipod touch now? i’m not so sure if i want to purchase this gadget again. * sigh *
