The Apple Store continues to offer its factory-refurbished 4th-Generation Apple iPod touch 32GB MP3 Player in Black, model no. MC544LL/A, for $179 with free shipping. That's tied with last week's mention as the best price we've seen for a refurb with a full 1-year Apple warranty. (It's also at least $56 below the lowest total price we could find for a new unit.) Sales tax is added where applicable. It features a 3.5" 960x640 multitouch Retina Display, front- and rear-facing cameras, 720p video recording, 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, and more.

Of note, Apple also offers the 4th-Generation Apple iPod touch 64GB MP3 Player in White, model no. MD059LL/A, or Black, model no. MC547LL/A, for $229 with free shipping. That's tied with last week's mention and $100 below the lowest total price we could find for a new unit.

These items aren't guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas.
