Eldest wants an iPod touch and has his own money to buy! But where’s the best place? Any ideas?

Apple store, then its easier to use your 2 yr warranty should it go faulty

Wot he said ^ 😀
Not to say that buying one from Currys/PCWorld would cause any issues;
I dropped an almost new iPod Classic and trashed its HDD, Currys swapped it for a new one under warranty.
I did’nt tell them I’d dropped it, mind…

……and get something engraved on the back for nowt.

Good point, well made. Forgotten that.

John Lewis. Great warranty.

And yes, John Lewis, forgotten them, as well.
It might be worth suggesting he wait for a bit, maybe until around September/October, because Apple will be announcing new iDevices in the not too distant future, so a completely upgraded Touch is highly likely, with bigger screen, new A8 processor, possibly more capacity, too.
