  Battery life would be longer than 30GB, as they expect you to be using it longer.

  SLS Sim Lim Square
  
  Comex is just an IT Show, though some of the Sim Lim vendors would be there.

  For the past few years, the iPods and Apple's stuff has always maintained the same pricing as their online store plus some cash vouchers.
  
  It's the same deal if you buy at Wheelock Apple.
  No difference at all.

  Oh yah.. Too seldom up refer Sim Lim as that :-p
  i.e. to say, Apple will set up shop @ Comex..
  Would it give free stuffs like other shops to 'join in the atmosphere'/ compete with Creative and other similar ware shops?

  I think there are only a few shops that can sell iPods. Most other shops will sell the accessories.

  yo ndmmxiaomayi/ guys,
  
  i bought my iPod Video (60GB) today at Funan Ctr's Juzz1 (#04-10).
  
  Discount amount of $810 for the following items:
  1. iPod Video black - orginal price of $688 like Apple Shop
  2. iTrip ($79)
  3. Original iPod universal charger ($54)
  4. exo skin aka rubber 'condom ($25) - Freebie
  5. Protective screen film ($12.90) - Freebie
  
  The staff at that shop told me there's no guarantee if Apple would be at Comex. Even if so, Apple won't reduce the prices nor throw in more freebies..
  
  Must say that Stephen from Juzz1 knows his stuffz well and got a good sales attitude..
  
  Good thing i didn't buy @ Apple shop :-p

  I heard somewhere that Apple will be at only 2 out of 4 tech fairs this year, they appeared in IT Show, March. MIA from PC Show (June). Now left Comex and Sitex. If I'm not wrong, they appeared in Comex last year.

  IT fairs means companies clearing old stock selling them at slightly cheaper price and introduce new products?
  
  because i hardly see a cheap or good deal in some IT fairs..
  
  the prices also not considered cheaper than normally
• FireIce

  20 Aug 06, 14:40

  they usually don't slash prices....but they throw in alotta freebies......
  
  like buy notebook free upgrade ram, free mouse, free printer, free webcam.....
  or buy digicam and get free extra batt, tripod, mem card, photo paper.....
  
  those things that are cheaper than normal are the peripherals mem cards, hdd, routers, keyboard/mouse.......
  
  look out for early bird specials, trade-in promos (usually printers or monitors) and last minute lehlong.......
  
  there ARE good deals at IT show
  u jus need to sniff them out

  Digital Life will publish some details about Comex on 29 August. If you don't think the deals are good, you have one more day to consider HP's deals in the website you provided.
  
  If you think Comex will offer better deals, you can wait till the last day of Comex, when they give you better bargains to earn more.

  Thanks for the help again dude ;-)
  
  But the actual deals can only be known at Comex itself..
  Hope to get the HP6828 now and send it to HP Cust Serv to remove the camera (thx to SAF's regulation of no-camera) once i get it.
  Since i'm on leave now, maybe i go Funan and SLS to recce for some info..
  Sarli they're slashing prices in lieu of the Comex sales too :-p

  some SLS and Funan shops will close bcos all go Comex......
  
  for those that got open shop, they will be offering same promos as Comex...... (for those who dun want to go Comex to squeeze)....
  
  usually the promo will last for 1 more week after Comex....partly bcos some ppl wanna go back to consider.....and oso, these shops want to clear the promo stocks.......
