Apple is gearing up their 2009 university student-targeted promotion, and it turns out this year is a lot like last year:
A Mac has everything university students need for school. And now it includes something extra special. When university students buy a qualifying Mac, they’ll get a free iPod touch after mail-in rebate. And they save even more with Apple education pricing. This offer is for a limited time and is available only at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Campus Stores.
Rumor was we’d see an iPhone option this year, but no such luck. Let jokes about mail-in rebate success levels begin!
(Thanks to everyone who sent this in.)

MacHeist has their Xmas Giving Tree up, and if you register with them for their promotion today, you may just find some nifty Mac software wrapped up for you beneath it! Send them a shout out on Twitter, and you may just find some iPhone apps dangling from the tree as well!
We’re not 100% sure how it works, or who gets what and why, but you’ll definately get something for your trouble. Act fast though, like Santa this deal is done in a day!
(I see Synergy, Enigmo 2, iConquer, 1Password, and Headline so far!)

I know Dieter hearts 1Password and it’s probably the first thing I load up any time I install — or re-install — a Mac. They’ve got a great FREE iPhone app, but you really need the big desktop brother to get the full functionality, which includes Keychain password filling integrated right into any Mac browser, as well as wallet storage, and a personal favorite — super-strong pseudo-random password generation.
They had a great special on Halloween, but Thanksgiving? Frankly, they’re blowing us away. Anyone who currently has a 1Password license can GIVE away up to 3 FREE licenses to their friends! Those who haven’t got 1Password, or friends with 1Password to give them this awesome gift, can buy a license for 15% off, and still get in on the FREE give away!
Offer’s good until Sunday, November 30th, so if you want it, go grab it.
