I arrived at 6:00pm and all models were out of stock except for 16gb Black Wi-fi. Needless to say I left - the queue was still long and I was disappointed not to get my hands on a White 32 or 64gb model.
I must confess to some surprise about how rapidly they ran out of stock. I knew the demand was going to be phenomenal, but surely they must have known too, and allowed for that? I can only speculate that this looks good from a marketing perspective, that they sold out in an hour... From a consumer point of view though, this is immensely annoying. Especially given that the alternative - buying via the mac store - takes 2-3 weeks...
I have no doubt it'll be a great product, but what use is that if we can't get our hands on it?
Apple make such a massive deal out of every release date but they repeatedly fail to provide for the demand. It just seems like disorganisation...
