    You may be to buy a 3G ipod touch in 9 or 10 weeks so i'ts worth hanging on.

    You don't want to fork out for one and then find you could have purchased a higher spec one a few weeks later.

    ^ It will, but you have to factor in shipping and if the customs people fancy opening and checking your parcel and then charging you VAT on top... Plus you need to find a store which will ship to the UK too...

    Probably not really cheaper buying in the US. An 8GB iPod Touch is £152 from Amazon.co.uk, whereas it is $215 from Amazon.com, which is (assuming you get an amazing exchange rate) about £132. Factor in the VAT and customs charges, or the sales tax if buying in person, and you're not really saving any money.

    Customs charge is £12 for the form alone so thats £144 before shipping and fines err VAT.
