I just checked out the Amazon listing, its changed now !Apple iTouch 16 GBAvailability: In Stock. Ships from and sold by J&R; Music and Computer World. So maybe they are shipping ?Opps you probably are right T.Osterhout, I forgot the world revolves around China....

Funny you mentioned Target. When I first saw your message, Amazon had a "1-2 month wait list" then I read your message, checked the local Targets online (none in the State of Washington) and now Amazon is listing Target as the place that is shipping them ! Good advice...Opps now its under "More buying choices"

Target.com will still say ship around 10/22 - 11/xx. Go to the local retail store you may find one(may be they just got shippment when I was there). Anyway, it seems like most people have forgot Target, Walmart, costco, they just remember Circuit City and Bestbuy. Target is good if you qualify for the 10%. That covers my tax and then some.

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.

I know the feeling corrivo, I get called a "dinosaur" often because I complain about the poor sound of MP3 and compressed audio formats sounding tinny and very hallow. I am always amazed that people will pay out $300-$500 for a MP3 player, $500/yr for digital rights to the song and then listen to it on $2.99 Walmart earphones or cheap RadioShack speakers mounted directly on carpeted floors. Many people laugh when they see my seperate sound system, until that is when I turn it on

"I use the itunes store to download FREE video and audio PODCASTS. I dont buy my music from itunes because if something happens to my computer, I'm afraid I'll lose all those tunes I bought."You can back up your songs from iTunes on a disc.

Just spoke with an Amazon rep and he seemed to know exactly what was going on. He said they expect to receive a batch of them at the end of September (and ship 1st week of October) and then another at the end of October (and ship the 1st week of November).I asked him about quantities ordered and if he thought they would be able to fill orders that were placed about 2 weeks ago. He said it is probable since Amazon's buyers have been watching the popularity of this product and likely ordered enough to cover the pre-orders.I feel better because the September date goes along with what another Amazon rep told me last week.

Wow, you're lucky Wilson! I purchased mine just a litte after you--early Thursday morning--and they gave me an estimated shipping date of July 24! I'm hoping that's just a date they picked kind of as a "place holder" until they got a better idea of when they would be getting more in, but we'll see...

I'm wondering the same thing.. Because this contradicts the 2-day shipping.. :\.

@JubaLee -- these sold out a few days ago on all sites. Amazon had notice that next availability was 2-4 weeks away.

6th ave is all sold out, I ordered it from amazon for $499.00 but the whole 1-2 months thing is starting to piss me off. I will most likely upgrade to the next model up and purchase it from another seller besides amazon. Got the link from my son that said ships within 24-48 hours, but with the holidays and all I didn't order until four days later, Oh well I know it my fault but still rather irritating.

I have been waiting for approximately three weeks now and estimate was between September and October (I placed the order in July!) I don't know if that was because it was out of stock at the time I placed the order. However, I just went in to my account and "Updated Shipping Speed," by confirming that I want the standard 5-8 day free shipping and then I got an e-mail saying the updated estimated time for ship is now the end of August. Hopefully this is true, but you might want to try doing the same and hopefully will get an earlier ship date too!

I'm pretty sure when Amazon says it takes 2 to 4 months to ship, it means that their out of stock.. I've had things on my wish list waiting for the price to drop, and that normally ship Prime in 2 days. When they sell the quantity they have, that's when you see them put the ships in 2 months up.. That's Just what I've noticed.. Hope this helps..

I ordered this item from Amazon on 4/28 and as of today, I am still waiting for it to ship. They have an estimated delivery date showing of 6/11, so I will let you know after then, but my advice is if you need this quickly - select a different source.

Hi, thanks for your question. According to the Product Page, this item "Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks". This is the time it will take for the item to be ordered from a distributor and prepared for shipment. You can read more about our Availability Estimate Definitions in our Help Pages:

I expect mine to shipped today! I ordered on March 17th, and the webpage says they have 2 left in stock, which I assume already accountsfor all the preorders being filled. I need to pester them again and get a clearer idea. My shipping estimate says May 10th, which is unacceptable. I have 2 day shipping on this.

As of right now, it says the product usually ships in 9-12 weeks. Why so long???

FOUL, FOUL Foul....I ordered mine on October 19, and am still waiting for it to ship...Brooke, as soon as you get your package please forward it to me. Amazon made a mistake. That one is MINE, MINE , MINE......Sorry. Just had to vent.

Great question. I placed an order on the 2nd and it still hasn't shipped. The status says its scheduled to ship on the 15th?!?!?! What company takes two weeks to SHIP these days? I ordered stuff from three other companies and they all shipped within two days. One of them shipped 2 hours after the order was placed.

I bought mine on Sept 17th for 40 bucks. Originally, they said to expect them to ship out on Oct 1-5, and delivery on Oct 8-12, but it now says that they're shipping them shortly. I'll hopefully have them next week.

Mine were originally estimated around Oct 7, but arrived on my doorstep 25 Sept (Tuesday). I suspect they sold a bundle of these at 39.95. Hang in there, don't cancel!

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.
