In a first for the company, O2 - who are exclusively selling the iPhone in the UK - are now stocking iPods alongside Apple’s cellphone. The iPod Touch is now available on the O2 website alongside its cellular sibling, although it’s not yet clear whether they’ll also be sold in-store. Prices are, unsurprisingly, on a par with that charged by Apple themselves - £199 for the 8GB, £269 for the 16GB.
It’s uncertain as to whether this was a planned roll-out or whether O2, suffering fewer iPhone sales than predicted, is looking to take advantage of MultiTouch’s charms and sell the iPod Touch to individuals put off by the cellphone’s 18 month contract and monthly bill.
