As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

all iPod touch 2G comes with software 2+...so you couldn't have gotten 1.1...also when 3.0 comes pre-installed i think it will cost more too..

If you scroll down on the Amazon product site for this product, it says: "Apple iPad or iPhone with iOS 4.0 or later".

Since the product details were loaded into the system before iOS 8 became available, the product details only show iOS 6. This generation iPod should be able to be updated to iOS 8..Its just a matter of a software update through iTunes for free. Hope that helps!

Apple always ships new product to Amazon within a couple of days, so you will probably receive your new iPod Touch within a week.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

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.

Amazon always gives a generous blanket date on pre-released products. In my experience, they always ship within a week of Apple.

Thanks for the update. There was no way I was going to buy this from Amazon when they were selling it before Christmas at 249.00. I kept tracking it to see if the price went down and now I don't have to. I bought one as well from Leapfrog. Thank you again!

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

In that case you should look for an Ipod touch. plus with this you will not get any updates or wont be able to play with new apps.

Apple has in the past offered a free upgrade for a new OS if the new system was purchased up to 3 months prior. Counting the months...July, August, September...nope, I would say you are probably out of luck for a free upgrade.

No, you cannot. Per the Apple store. I guess that is the trade off, saving money by buying on Amazon, you lose that option. BTW, I found all the answers to my questions by googling/youtube or going to lynda.com ($25 will get you hours of training). Hope this helps!

It will work without the 10.6.2 update, but there are a few features that will be unavailable. I would say this coming Wednesday (Oct 28) it will start shipping. Amazon will more than likely start shipping the same day as Apple. If you recall, Amazon had the MacMini up and shipping hours after Apple announced them.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

yes, this is the newest version you can buy, although at the apple store i am not sure if they have stock of this model with the upgrades unless you order it online too.

If it doesn't come with you can update yourself. I just did a few weeks ago when it prompted me about the new update.
