Chicago - N. Michigan Ave. Store has 32Gb 2nd Gen iPod Touch. I assume they have the smaller flavors as well, but I did not ask about them. They're not on display yet (they just got them in this afternoon) so you cannot get a look at them out of the box today.
They're in the clear, plastic packaging that the last-gen iPod Nanos came in rather than the nice black cardboard box that the previous Touches came in. I guess that the new packaging is more environmentally friendly, but the new packaging is a step backwards aesthetically.
Edit: I've been informed (right below my post) that the store has sold out of the 32Gb Touches. When I bought mine they seemed to have an entire drawer full of them, so I guess the refreshes are going fast.

Huh? I just went to the apple store on Michigan Avenue..and they had no 32 GB touches, only 8 and 16 GB. Kinda pissed that I walked all the way over there after they just told me on the phone they had everything in stock. Will check back tomorrow.
They're available in Cincinnati, but ...
Like an earlier poster noted, they didn't have any of the new stuff out. As I walked in, I saw people looking over all the old nanos and old iPod touches, and I started to assume that the guy I had spoken with earlier over the phone gave me the wrong information. I went up to a clerk and did the whole "I called earlier today and you guys said ..." routine. He said, "Oh, yeah; we have them. They're in the back." As he's leading me back there, I'm looking at the old merchandise still marked at the more expensive prices and I'm thinking about how many poor, uninformed souls are going to pluck down money for the older version that -- at least with the iPod touch -- costs even more than the new one. I know I'd be royally ticked.
And although they had all three versions, initially some of the clerks thought that they only had the 8GB and the 16GB.
I guess maybe they didn't have enough that first day so maybe they're under orders to sell to only those who specifically ask for it.
The moral is, if you walk in there and you don't see it displayed then walk up to a clerk and specifically ask for it.
Incidentally, I got this (the 16GB one) as a gift for my parents, and after loading 517 songs, 1400 photos, 2 complete movies from their computer and an assortment of free apps from the iTunes store, the device still had 9-10 GB free. Unless you really need the space, you might be very content with the 16GB version.

How much did you get for the old iPod? I have an old 5G iPod that I wouldn't mind trading.
they usually have some in stock in the back. If you ask someone there if you can buy one, they usually will get you one from the back. at least that's what happened last year with the 1st gen iPod touch, and I know some people who got the new nano that way.
If anyone is around the Philly area King of Prussia has them all now minus the 16gb nano. They only have the older ones at full price on display, so harass a sales person until they get one from you in the back.
I just got back from the Troy, Michigan store. I brought home a new 32GB iPod Touch with me; they had a lot of each Touch model but only the 8GB Nano in every color. The iPod Touch is HOT as HELL.

Pacific Centre
No go in the Vancouver location. Guess they are taking a little longer to get to Canada. ) :

Really? When I went by there at 4:30 this afternoon, they only had the older models on display. I didn't bother asking any of the staff because that place was packed(it always seems to be that way). I just assumed they didn't have it in stock and was just proud of myself for having walked out of there without having spent any money.
Honolulu, Hawaii--Kahala Mall Store
I just went down to the Apple store in Kahala Mall (Honolulu, HI) and they didnt have any of the new ones on display. But I asked the guy and he said that they have the new Touch, and I believe he said Shuffle and Classic (but I wasn't really concerned with the latter two)....the only thing they don't have in are the Nanos yet. Hopefully tomorrow he said.
And hopefully they will have the others out on display.
But other than the Nanos....I think they have the other new iPods in stock, you just have to ask them.
For any other Hawaii-peeps....not sure about the stock Ala Moana store....i didnt call them nor did I stop by. But my guess is that it would be a similar situation as the Kahala store. (plus....we all know how slow it takes Hawaii to get stuff anyhow)

Yup, my local store had the new nano's but no 16's....
The Albany, NY store got them yesterday - not on display when I went in around 2:30, but they were there. At first, they thought they only had 8 and 16GB models but I asked them to check in the back and they did have 32's. Which is what I purchased.
No new headphones in there, though. You'll need to pay another $30 or $80 to get the little remote button.

New iPods in stock at the Charlotte store. I got the 32gb touch yesterday (Wednesday)... they did not have any of the new models on the floor, but they had them in the back. I assume they will have them on the floor today.
I ordered free standard shipping
I ordered standard shipping (8-10 days) and they upgraded me for free to 3 days! Everyone who paid for overnight delivery apparently wasted money!!
