Software update: What is the first date that I can buy the iPod Touch from Amazon such that I won't also have to pay for the OS 3.0 software update?

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

I am considering paying full price at Apple Store because I don't know how to appeal to Amazon if I have problems with the iTouch. Also since this is my first iPod I already have a high learning curve and don't need to be loading additional applications.Can anyone tell me about Amazon guarantees?

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

It will work without the 10.6.2 update, but there are a few features that will be unavailable. I would say this coming Wednesday (Oct 28) it will start shipping. Amazon will more than likely start shipping the same day as Apple. If you recall, Amazon had the MacMini up and shipping hours after Apple announced them.

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

I'm within a mile and a half of a Costco, Best Buy, Apple store, and Circuit City. It's 9 AM. they all open in an hour. I think I'll be able to get a Touch at one of those stores. :) To heck with Amazon. They blew it big time with me, by showing "In Stock" when I ordered, on the 16th. I don't care about engraving and I know Apple is hard nosed about returns, so I'll double check the Return policy of the store I buy from, just in case the Touch doesn't work out well for me. IF Apple didn't have an automatic restocking fee, I'd just buy from them...

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.

They didn't push the release back. Apple was always going to release the shuffle on October 31, but Amazon had it listed more than two weeks earlier when there was literally no chance of their listing being true. I can wait, lol, it's not a big deal, but it's still shady.

Apple has in the past offered a free upgrade for a new OS if the new system was purchased up to 3 months prior. Counting the months...July, August, September...nope, I would say you are probably out of luck for a free upgrade.

It'd probably take awhile till they ship out the NEWER iPod Touch for the same great price. Haha, it's not even listed on amazon.com yet.

You can buy from Amazon at the reduced price. I've done it for the last 2 years. If you are on Apple's automatic renewal plan now, you might want to activate it a couple of weeks ahead of their billing date to avoid billing confusion. Yes, you keep your same e-mail, etc.

Nothing up-to-date. In the AppStore there appears to be newer apps but there's always a glitch when downloading it.

It's available at J&R now. I purchased yesterday for $149. Unfortunate for me Amazon continues to lower the price. I couldn't wait anymore. I like the sound and it works with my 2G iTouch (and it charges). I would recommend.

I am ready to by my ipod touch, but I can wait a while if the new applications are forthcoming. How can we find out?

I ordered a 16g iPod touch from them last week, and it is on it's way on time. I had originally ordered the touch through amazon, but after the shipping date kept changing, I cancelled and went with datavis.com. I had $300 in amazon gift certificates, so I wanted to shop through amazon or one of their storefronts. UPS says I should have the iPod by Friday, so we'll see. I have my fingers crossed. I think a lot of times people only post their negative experiences on those ratings sites. At least with ebay, you are "reminded" over and over to leave your feedback.

Yeah, what's up with that? I just bought it for my sister's birthday and Amazon is telling me that it'll ship in November??? Forget it, I'm canceling the order and buying it from Apple.

FYI - I preordered mine from Apple in the middle of Jan and just received it this week (2/25). So it isn't just Amazon - I have read posts that say some Apple stores have them - but I think that might be false.
