Unlockers rejoice: Special deals on early-release iPhones

While supplies last, you can save $20 on refurbished 8GB and 16GB iPod touches and iPhones. These earlier model units are marked as "Original Software Release" and cost slightly less than those already upgraded to current software. Stock has been going in and out all weekend -- so if you don't see units for sale right away, keep checking back. At some point, I'm sure Apple will run out of stock on both touches and iPhones but for now, do try, try again.

Thanks Matt D

Update: TUAW reader Ian seems to have hit the bullseye: 'So this means that although you save $20 on the touch, you have to pay $20 to get the January apps? Isn't that what "original software release" means? '
