iPod Touch spotted in some stores

An eagle-eyed and (understandably) excited reader let us know that the Apple Store Somerset in Troy, Michigan had a few iPod Touches for sale ahead of the September 28th ship date. A quick call to the store revealed Dan was right, they had 14 in stock but were already sold out.

The store employee said that some retail stores, particularly on the East coast, have been receiving shipments already. He said that though they're mainly designed to be floor models, stores have been selling them to customers as well. He says the rolling shipments are expected to continue until the 28th when all the retail shops will have them in stock.

The Apple Store employee added one last thought before the call was ended. "They're so worth the wait," he said.

No doubt.

Yes... Thank you TUAW. I pre-ordered an Ipod Touch, but when I saw Apple Stores were quietly selling them I cancelled my Amazon order and bought one at the Apple Store in Buffalo, NY.

WTF? I got up at 3:30am to order mine online on Sept 5th, why can't they satisfy those orders as well?

My order still says ships on Sept 28th!

Not happy Apple!

So why can't we just call it the iTouch..... That's all I can think of when I am trying to say iPod Touch... blah. Therefore I am naming mine iTouch and I imagine many others will begin to use this shorter name for everyday discussion when relating to this product. I'm sure it won't hold up to Apple's naming standards but I doubt we'll have an iPod Touch 2 either..... The names should be shorter.... technically there is no "iPod" anymore but only iPod branded players, ie. Classic, Nano, Touch, etc.
