Apple Certified Refurbished iPod Nano(3rd Generation) Photos
Initially not sure about my purchase, I was very happy when I got my Refurbished iPod Nano from the Apple Store for only $99. The iPod Nano comes with a new part number and is restored to the condition in which it is when a new unit is purchased. My hunch is that refurbished iPods are a way of clearing all returned iPods(either within the 30-day return policy or units that come back for replacement under warranty).
The gallery above will give you a good idea about the excellent cardboard packaging which gives it enough cushion to be pushed in checked-in luggage that comes all the way from Virginia to New Delhi in pristine order. I bought this iPod nano as a replacement for the iPod mini that I have because replacing the mini’s battery would have cost me just the same.
If I find that my savings with Apple Certified Reconditioned Products are enough to be worth talking about as a blog post, there’s no reason I wont go in for one. I’ve saved a good $50 over the original cost, and the product is no different from what you would get paying a hefty Rs.7000 in India.
Does this come with a warranty ?
Of course. Standard 1 year warranty.
It’s a beauty. You are truly lucky.
@Apoorv: I know, I know.
not sure if you heard but there are options for this ipod nano third generation when the battery eventually dies and it is not with apple:

it looks like you still have to send it in but they are quicker and cheaper than apple and i think the best thing is that you get the same ipod back. Although from your post it sounds like refubished ipods are really not all that bad.

@Laura: The iPod as I mentioned is as good as a new unit purchased from an Apple outlet. It’s cheaper because it has come back to the factory and parts have been replaced(though not all) and all the standard factory checks have taken place.
