iPod touch iPod nano and touch to be updated in January

[Markov]

Hi all, I work at an authorized Apple reselling store. Yesterday while on my break I was reading our daily news articles, and one of them said that the iPod touch and iPod nano is no longer available for purchase online directly to the customer (direct2u) and that stock of both iPods will no longer be replenished until January. To me, this seems like evidence that the iPods will be refreshed in early January. We stopped carrying the classic some time ago, so I'm not sure what the deal is with that. I have visual proof if anyone is interested. The pictures are not too great because I took them with my cell phone, but still legible. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I am an apple product buyer for a reseller, in Canada, all my shipping estimates are 24hrs for all nanos, touches and classics. I haven't heard any news on product shortage up here yet.

I am curious as to why you think this is the case. As a test, I just went to apple.com and added a 32GB ipod touch to my cart and went most of the way through the checkout process. I was given a delivery date of dec 24th so it looks like they are still available for sale to the consumer. Is this not what you meant?

Sounds like your company underestimated the Christmas rush and bought too few.

Coincidence?

I never said this was concrete evidence, but I found it interesting that they are doing this randomly. Perhaps I am dead wrong, but at least I made an attempt to bring something to the table as far as rumors.

Enjoy and let the "FAKE!!!!" BS begin.

Edit: The resolution is quite large, so I did not post it directly on the thread, so there is the link.

Incorrect. Wrong state lol. I have nothing to hide anyway, it's not a company secret or anything held in high regard. In fact, it's information customers would need to know. Plus any clever person can check my profile for my location anyhow ; ) NC is 910 area code, I believe.
