New iPods have landed

Rawr thats not helpful guys. I was hoping i was the only one.

ordered mine ~hour after they were on apple.com and mine came today as well. Shanghai China -> Alaska -> Indianapolis -> Boston -> me

Just so you know (I'm the one who took these photos), I ordered mine 15 minutes after they announced them and I live in NYC, so it's not an east coast thing that's causing any hold-ups you might be having.

I ordered within an hour of it coming out via standard el-cheapo-free shipping and it's on my desk right now. From October 17th to this morning--basically 1 day--it went from Shanghai China -> Alaska -> Indianapolis -> New Jersey -> Brooklyn -> Me. And here's irony. I got it in one day with no special shipping but I'm waiting for an unrelated package that a friend in Queens has sent me via UPS 'Next Day Air Saver' and it's still not here yet. Yeesh!!! But as far as the iPod goes, let me be the first to say that watching an old 1950s Bettie Page film on this iPod's screen is one magical moment. http://www.picpatrol.com/Jacks_iPod_BettyPage.jpg I was never hot on video in an iPod until I got this. The screen is VERY clear and VERY sharp. It's completely usable and even album art looks lots better. But can I say something about the extras? I'll tolerate the fact that the video cables and power brick are not included. But calling the flimsy piece of sewed together junk they include with the new iPods a 'case' is an insult. It's like calling a sock a shoe. Check it out: http://www.picpatrol.com/Jacks_iPod_Case.jpg Call it a 'protective sleeve' or 'complimentary envelope', but case? Please Apple. That's just wrong!

HOw!!! i ordered it not even an hour after it came out with express shipping. It says its still processing my order. Darn livingon the east coast.
