SoftBank extend iPod offer

Last week SoftBank extended their iPod offer. up until now, you could get an iPod as a set with the Sharp SH705 and Panasonic P705. but from now on, you can get a very reasonable iPod if you sign up for their 'New Super Bonus' plan.

as long as you don't mind paying it with your phone bill over a period of 24 months, an iPod Shuffle will cost 5,280yen as opposed to the regular 9,800yen. a 2GB nano is yours for 8,400yen as opposed to 17,800yen in the apple store.

so what is the catch? is it really a good deal. well if anybody requests i will try research as best i can about the 'new super bonus' plan and the 'gold plan' etc. I have been continuing to keep abreast of what is going on over the last while, just unfortunately i am so busy at work that this blog is suffering somewhat.
