Does the Black iPod Touch 4th Generation come with IOS 5 preloaded?

It seems to be cheaper than the white version. I would prefer he have one that does not need to be tethered to a PC.

Depends on where you purchase it and whether they've had it sitting on the shelf since prior to the iOS 5 release or not.

Would be willing to bet if you get it from Apple it's going to have iOS 5.

And there is no difference in price between the black and white if you buy it from Apple either.

Just one thing about not tethering to a computer.
It will mean that you will have to back up to iCloud if you want to protect your downloads (back them up), otherwise you will lose everything should it ever crash.
You will also be limited to only installing new music purchased directly from iTunes too, so I would hope that you will be responsible for all purchases (no disresepct to your son - you don't say how old he is), other wise you could end up with a very high iTunes bill.

I would get it from a apple store, or on the apple website to make sure.
