All,

Has anyone heard when Apple will have the new ipod touch 5g in their stores? I called this afternoon in the Philadelphia area and nada...

Apple Store in Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL received some stock today. I picked up a 32GB black one.
 
Seems like they are getting 32GB blacks models the most, that's the only one available from my store.
 
I called the Apple Stores in Berkeley, CA and Emeryville, CA, and they are carrying the 32 GB models. No 64 GB ones yet, so still waiting.
 
Just picked up a 32GB Black at The Pier in Atlantic City, NJ. They had a black and blue only.
 
Strange, I called the Apple store in my area and they confirmed to have them but said they will not be selling until tomorrow on a first come first serve basis. I don't know if the guy on the phone was being honest with me or if they really are holding them until tomorrow for some reason.
 
You have to be somewhat persistent if you want to get your hands one of these guys early. I called 5 or 6 apple stores near me (Los Angeles), most of which said some variation of "NO WE DONT HAVE IT" or "ITS ILLEGAL FOR ME TO TELL YOU WHEN WE'D GET IT," which was kind of ridiculous. The last one I called in the afternoon said they had JUST received a shipment, and when I rolled in there they had them hidden in the back, and no displays were out yet. I ended up talking to the same guy I had talked to on the phone, and he brought one of the iPods from the back in the color I had asked about, and that was that. I'm sure most of the people in the store weren't even aware they had the new iPod touches in stock!

Anyway...rockin' away with my snazzy blue iPod touch ;) LOVE THIS THING.
