Thanks David! I looked around to see if I could find this based on the 2g Touch release but couldn't find it. Thanks for replying here. I appreciate it.

Apple always ships new product to Amazon within a couple of days, so you will probably receive your new iPod Touch within a week.

No, Bal, for a brief moment Amazon themselves had it for preorder, and thats waht we are commenting on. It was literally only available for like a few hours. We are both waiting for a shipment update from amazon.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

I also would like to know. Surely Amazon has SOME idea when they are getting it, if its up for pre-ordering....

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

There are other storefronts on amazon selling the ipod touch. I bought mine from 6ave. I had an order with amazon since Sept. 20 and their customer service told me I wouldn't get it until November 14. Unacceptable. I too had amazon gift certs I wanted to use, so I cancelled with amazon and purchased with 6ave through amazon. 6ave had stock and I could still use my gift certs on the order. So, hopefully I'll get it this week.Definitely look at other storefronts on amazon as you may be able to apply your gift certs on that order.

The newest version does not exist on Amazon yet as Apple just announced an updated line from their keynote yesterday (October 22nd). Essentially the newest version is available through Apple only right now.

Correct. Except, I talked to someone who also works with Apple and I asked them, if I buy from Amazon, will it take longer for them to ship? He said not really, since Amazon gets the shipments earlier before so that they can ship around the same dates as Apple does. I've already bought 2. One from Apple and the other from here. I bought it on Apple, only to get it engraved for my husband. And the other iPod touch is for me. Let's see which one comes in first! As to the release date, Apple says the estimate date is the 11th.

It seems like Amazon received a small initial shipment and those who got in early had theirs shipped. Based on the availability from the Apple online store, it might be a month or more before Amazon may get another shipment of MBPsI checked JR.com and they have them in stock. YMMV thoughhttp://www.jr.com/apple/pe/APP_MC975LL_SL_A/

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.

Yeah..I would wait for Amazon. I kind of had a feeling they didn't have it. When I asked them how they got it before Amazon, they did not have an answer. I feel better ordering from Amazon anyhow.

I may just do that. This isnt like Amazon. It doesnt make any sense. Its like they allowed people to preorder without them knowing if or when they will ever receive them.

Amazon now shows only 16 Imacs available and it says "order soon". Usually when they are running low and expect to get more it says "more on the way" after "order soon". I wonder if this is a sign that Apple is putting out a refresh soon?

Miguel, Amazon should receive more units into their inventory by 12/8. Sorry for the delay but it is a very popular model and we're trying our best to keep up with demand.If the free $75 gift card is important to you, order the UL20 now, with the gift card...the gift card promotion might last another day and it might last another week, it may last longer. That decision is still up in the air. But ordering before the promotion ends will ensure you get the pc AND the gift card; and the earlier you order the higher up in the queue you will be to receive your pc once the shipment arrives to Amazon.

Amazon always gives a generous blanket date on pre-released products. In my experience, they always ship within a week of Apple.

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.
