I just checked out the Amazon listing, its changed now !Apple iTouch 16 GBAvailability: In Stock. Ships from and sold by J&R; Music and Computer World. So maybe they are shipping ?Opps you probably are right T.Osterhout, I forgot the world revolves around China....

Funny you mentioned Target. When I first saw your message, Amazon had a "1-2 month wait list" then I read your message, checked the local Targets online (none in the State of Washington) and now Amazon is listing Target as the place that is shipping them ! Good advice...Opps now its under "More buying choices"

Target.com will still say ship around 10/22 - 11/xx. Go to the local retail store you may find one(may be they just got shippment when I was there). Anyway, it seems like most people have forgot Target, Walmart, costco, they just remember Circuit City and Bestbuy. Target is good if you qualify for the 10%. That covers my tax and then some.

I think you sumed it up well. Seems like most of the business world is just waiting for the small supplies of the iTouch to be let out of the Apple warehouse. I talked again to the manager at Best Buy and he said they have no idea ahead of time what they will get. My guess is Amazon is in the same sitution. I have gotten items from Amazon also for years and a similiar thing came up when the HP or it was then Compaq iPaq PDA's first came out, the supply was way more then what was produced. This was the first really vague email response I had received from Amazon, usually they are pretty good. Hopefully Apple will get these things out the door fast ! I think you sumed it up well.

I know the feeling corrivo, I get called a "dinosaur" often because I complain about the poor sound of MP3 and compressed audio formats sounding tinny and very hallow. I am always amazed that people will pay out $300-$500 for a MP3 player, $500/yr for digital rights to the song and then listen to it on $2.99 Walmart earphones or cheap RadioShack speakers mounted directly on carpeted floors. Many people laugh when they see my seperate sound system, until that is when I turn it on

"I use the itunes store to download FREE video and audio PODCASTS. I dont buy my music from itunes because if something happens to my computer, I'm afraid I'll lose all those tunes I bought."You can back up your songs from iTunes on a disc.

You must have hit a very short window of opportunity. I've looked at the product page several times today and it has always said out of stock. I ordered mine 3-4 weeks ago and it hasn't shipped yet. you might want to ask customer service.

I think they just don't offer "Subscribe & Save" on products that they don't have in stock. Since this is listed as "Usually ships within 3 to 4 weeks." that means it probably isn't coming back in stock anytime soon either.

Shipped today, estimated delivery is on the 22nd. (Wednesday.) Looks like it will be about two weeks for me as opposed to one to two months!

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

No way will you get this in one day. It's April 30th and I ordered mine on march 9th. Still hasn't even been shipped. I'm mad.

FOUL, FOUL Foul....I ordered mine on October 19, and am still waiting for it to ship...Brooke, as soon as you get your package please forward it to me. Amazon made a mistake. That one is MINE, MINE , MINE......Sorry. Just had to vent.

I ordered one from J&R; on 5/8 when their website said "In Stock" and "ships in 1-2 days." I started getting a little nervous when I checked back on the site later that day and the status changed to "ships in 3-5" days, and yet again to "out of stock." I called them 5/11 and they told me that the product had been delayed and they had no ETA of when they would be getting any in. They canceled my order without any issue (so far), but I just wish they had been actually truthful about it being in stock when they accepted the order.

If people are having to wait an extended period of time for this unit to arrive it might have something to do with the carrier and the distance it needs to travel to reach you. I know you posed this question back in February so I'm sure you received the unit by now so I'm answering this question in case someone else is currently in a similar situation. If you were expecting it on a certain date and it's exceeded the e.t.a. by at least 4 days I'd try to contact the seller to see if they can shed any light on the situation. I'm about to order another one of these units for myself and I'll try and note the time from when I order it until the time it arrives. Hopefully this will be of some help. EDITED 12/10 I ordered the unit on 11/26 and received it on 12/9 so it took roughly two weeks to arrive, however, I'm not too happy with it. I'm about to do a review now to explain my experience with this (updated?) unit.

I'm wondering the same thing.. Because this contradicts the 2-day shipping.. :\.

Yea I know, I ordered mine on May 2, and was waiting for it. Then I realized that it is not going to be delivered until July 14. It seems as though this item is backordered, but yet they still put the status of the item as "in stock".

I seem to have ordered right before it said that. It originally said "ships in 2-4 weeks." Now it says its not available at all straight from amazon. A week later it still hasn't shipped, or more specifically, Amazon doesn't have it yet. After trying to get some answers, it basically comes down to a "it will ship whenever we get it and if you don't like it cancel the order or order it from a merchant" situation. No way I'm ordering anything from merchants, so I'll stick it out a bit longer. They have upgraded my shipping to one-day for all the vagueness and confusion so at least there's something positive.

Wrong!! If this is shipped in the USA, then why is it taking me 2 months to get it?????????????

Well just found out my estimated delivery date would be June 6th. They tried to tell me "when something is shown as temporarily out of stock"... um yeah, IT NEVER ONCE SHOWED THAT! This has truly been a pathetic experience with amazon. I am incredibly disappointed.

I did pre-order mine, Oct. 15th, with an estimated delivery date range, provided by Amazon, of Oct. 31-Nov.2. However today is Oct. 31 and the item's status still shows as "Not Yet Shipped"... I've got a feeling they are not going to get it delivered by Nov. 2nd then... ... ...

I talked to an Amazon rep who just confused the issue more. My order still says that the expected delivery date is October 29th. The Amazon rep said that there aren't any in stock and that they won't be shipping today. When I asked him when it WOULD ship, he said that my estimated delivery date was October 29th. When I pointed out that this couldn't possibly be accurate given what he had just said, he responded with, "the time is given to you is accurately calculated by the packaging department.So I assure you that you will get it on time." UPDATE: Sure enough, this morning I got an email saying, "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered..." so, no, they weren't shipping any of these out on Friday. I guess we all just get to wait it out now.
