The iPod Touch is now available at some Apple stores in the US, according to AppleInsider.com. Now, this causes me some discomfort. The fact that some guy who just strolled into an Apple store and bought one at the counter and took it home, sort of irks me. As soon as the new iPods were made available through the online Apple store, I whipped out my MasterCard at lightning speed and ordered one. However, sadly, online customers will have to wait until the Friday after next, Sept 28, for their goodies to start shipping.
This does me no good. I'm facing a 9 hour flight two weeks from now and could have really used it. But there is a slim bright side to this. As the new iPod Touch finds its way into the public's hand, almost immediately the reviews come pouring out of the tech pundits and reviewers. Fortunately, I read a very favourable review in PC Magazine who gave my new toy their highest rating. This eases the ol' "buyer's remorse" twinge.
But this waiting thing really fries my bacon: unboxing photos everywhere, video reviews posted online, tech website reviews. Its all driving me insane! Its torture. Aside from this, my fellow iPod aficionado, Jabba, who has her new iPod Nano, is in full taunt-mode. Damn!
So, please, send your notes of support and encouragement when convenient. It would help.

Well, there is one easy solution.
Cancel your order. Yup, go back on-line and cancel it.
Then, in 9 days, when you get off your plane, take yourself to the nearest Apple Store, approach the counter with the cutest retailer, and ask in your best Bawston accent if you can have a touch. (then duck). Then specify an iPod Touch.
Then, at least you'll have one for your flight home. OK, so you won't have been able to charge the battery, and there will be no music on it, but you can stroke it's glossy screen...
Knowing my luck, they'd be all sold out.
hey... check this out....
