iPod hot, iPod photo not

Sales of 20GB and 40GB iPods are so hot that retailers are running out of stock around the country, including Amazon.com and Buy.com. Backorders for the 20GB model are running at wait times of up to three weeks. Want an iPod mini? Good luck finding one. If you do find one, it will probably be blue.

Not so for the iPod photo, which remains in ample supply. If you have your heart set on this iconic gadget for yourself or as a gift this holiday season, you may have to plunk down the cash for an iPod photo. At least you know they’ll be available!
