If anyone is interested, the music being played in the background is Chopin - Nocturne in G minor
Ok, here's the info on my shameless plug. You really can get these sorts of things for free and I've provided some links to a couple different products (iPod touch included, obviously). There are plenty of offers to complete which are entirely free and give instant credit so all you are investing is about 10 minutes. Note that the product I listed by the link isn't the only thing you can get throught that link. There's also cash equivalents and gift cards.
