Is the ipod touch 2G out yet. I can't find any shop that is stocking it. All local stores upto nearly 40 miles don't have it in stock. Same with currys.
The Apple website is stating 3 - 5 days as opposed to "Dispatched within 24 hrs" so I'm guessing availability in stores will be at least a week...
I recommend buying from the Apple site though, never had any problems and delivery is very quick if items are in stock, also its free if you spend over £66 ex VAT
Yeah, i think it will a week or so before the shops get them. Both Play and Amazon still say pre-order, (Play's stock date is 22/09). A lot of places are still selling the original model, and at higher prices as well, you have to make sure you're getting a 2G model. I've noticed too that even the online shops are all pricing the new one up at the recommended Apple prices, no discounts just yet.
For the time being, as others have said, order through the apple site, you get free engraving if you want and it is very efficient. I ordered mine as soon as the store went back up on the Tuesday (9th) it was announced and had it delivered to me last Friday.
I can't imagine it will be too long before shops get them though, a week or so.
