iPod Touch

[Gareth]

anyone got one yet? When are they ACTUALLY out? Think I'm going to get the 16GB one. I'm going into London on Sunday will pop into an Apple Store.

 

[Rich]

I was waiting to pick one up in store but no where round here has one. Ordered one direct from Apple yesterday but not expected to ship till Oct 5th though.

 

[Gareth]

I'll pop into Apple on Regent Street and see if they have any, if not I'll order one next week. Have you ordered any accessories? Namely a case? I've check the Apple Store website but they don't really seem to do any.

 

[Rich]

No case ordered, have some of those sock things from my other ipods so will just use one of them.

 

[Gareth]

yeah that's all they seem to offer for them. I have a nice clear case for my Nano, very difficult to tell its even on it, the nano is pristine inside.

I know its difficult with the new one being touch-screen, but you'd like to think they could offer something better than a 'sock'.

 

[V1NNY]

thought they were out 1st of october

 

[sneeks]

The Apple Stores have them now as do Comet and John Lewis.

 

[Rich]

Some apple store may have, none round here do.

 

[Gareth]

hopefully with it being London they will have, although I do get about £20 off through work if I order online, not sure they will give me that in the store.

 

[Rasclart]

Loads of peeps here that work in the centre and probs could check for you. Obviously this would change by Sunday. Just ring the store

 

[Gareth]

I'm in the area on Sunday anyway, so at the very least will pop in to take a look.

 

[Gareth]

hmmm!?

[Rasclart]

Thats pretty good if it isnt fake. I remember the Original Nanos scratched like a b*****d I couldnt have given a s**t though LOL

 

[Gareth]

I won't be taking a key to mine to try it out, that's for sure!

 

[BenWall]

I have ordered mine from the apple website. As above its due 5th Oct.

[Rich]

Bugger could have done with that code a few days ago ! lol

 

[Gareth]

[Clellandmc]

Is everyone getting the 16gb ones?

 

[Gareth]

yep. 32gb is already rumoured for next year.

 

[clioman]

will it connect to any wireless network? i.e my homehub

also

will it allow full website browsing?

 

[Clellandmc]

Near the beginning of next year? Is it worth waiting for?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

also

will it allow full website browsing?

Yes to both. You have the facility to zoom in to web page sections.

Near the beginning of next year? Is it worth waiting for?

I don't know when next year. But my iTunes is only 7GB and I doubt I will use 9GB for videos.
