NEW 5/6/09 Why is the iPod Touch included with the Apples but not the Dells?
By including the iPod Touch in the package, Apple was able to give us a nice overall discount. The school does not require students to have iPod Touches, as we do not have any internal educational applications specifically for the iPod Touch, so we could not include it in the Dell package. However, there are many educational and medical applications for the iPod which you can find on your own. We were able to negotiate a nice discount so that students selecting Dell laptops would be able to have an iPod if they want. If you select a Dell laptop and want an iPod Touch, you will see an optional checkbox on your iApply laptop ordering page. If you check that box, an iPod Touch will be ordered for you. You will then need to provide cash or a check (make the check out to Case Western Reserve University) (sorry no credit cards) to David Pilasky when you pick up your laptop during your Computer Distribution and Orientation session.
