THE NEW iPod touch will make its debut in the Philippines in October, an Apple executive said.
The multi-touch, wireless fidelity-enabled iPod will be sold in local stores next month, said Tony Li, director for product marketing of Apple in Asia Pacific. The iPod touch will retail for P19,090 for the 8 gigabyte version, and P25,490 for the 16 gigabyte version, Li said.
The new iPod touch will still cater to the iPod-loving consumers who can now surf using the same device. It is 8 mm thick, features a 3.5-inch display, and has wi-fi support. It runs the safari browser, and can play YouTube videos using the H2.64 format that is supported by the iPod, Li added.
Apple has sold over 100 million iPods worldwide. No figures were given for the Philippines.
The debut of the iPod touch is being timed with the coming holiday season when sales for gadgets are high, Li said.
Li also introduced the new iPod shuffle and nano models in the local market.
No word yet on the local release of the iPhone in the country.

You don’t have to use the overpriced Telco EDGE network. You get far reasonable rates using Wifi and just hanging around hotspots.

iPhones are useless in the Philippines. Why? Because the useless and stupid philippine telcos charges too much. For example they are showing too much adverts about auto roaming but their prices and reliability is totally f***** up.
