Worth every penny
typing this on my new 16g. Best consumer electronic device ever.
Few bugs though. If your wifi hangs while surfing, the music stops. If you double tap home it starts to play music from the whole library, not the playlist you were listening to. Very annoying.
People are going to be stabbed in the street for one of these.

WOOOOOOOOO got the LAST 16gb touch in Sacramento! Synching now, cant wait to get on safari and listen to mi musica.
Its true tho.
The whole point of PRE-ordering is to ensure we get the product first, not two weeks later. I don't have an apple store very close to me, so running to pick one up isnt the easiest thing.

just do a refund
I tried to cancel my order over the phone today, but the lady told me I could do a refund for it as soon as it came in and she even set up a refund for me so that as soon as it gets here all I have to do it print out a sticker and put it on the ipod so it will be returns and in 4 days i get my money back for it.
Cheers,

Earlier tonight I got an email from my brother and replied to him, then watched a video on YouTube (Dave Chappelle skit, good stuff!), then loaded up Shaun of the Dead, now I'm listening to the new CocoRosie album while surfing MacRumors..... ON AN IPOD
i n s a n e.
I love this thing too much. No need to switch to evil AT&T and twice the storage space = 2 reasons I'm glad I didn't splurge on an iPhone.

How are ya'll canceling your orders? I keep trying to do that to mine but it says it has already been packed, yet won't ship till the 28th. Specifically,
"Your item(s) have already been prepared for shipment, so they cannot be cancelled. However, once they ship, you may be able to make a return from the Order details page."
It has been like that for 2 days now.

No Disc Mode Is A Major Minus
That blows.No Disk Mode: Disk Mode is gone. Consequently, you wont be able store data files on the iPod touch without third-party software.

Janesville Where? What State?
Janesville What? Do you know you can put your hometown in your profile so it shows up on each post with your handle?typing this from the touch. I got it from a best buy in Janesville wi if anyone cares. It is worth every penny. I got the 16gig.
I just got my 16gb one hour ago!!!. For everyone living in the bay area, ca the Best Buy in East Palo Alto just got a shipment of 16gb. Enjoy!
Says right in his post -- "Janesville wi." The "wi" is an abbreviation for Wisconsin.
I was at the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue playing with the new iPod touch and I must say, it is a really slick device!
It really does feel at least half as thin as the iPhone even though it technically isn't. It's built so solid and everything on it was really responsive. Safari was fantastic, video was so crisp and the screen looked great!
I was going to walk out of there with an iPhone but the iPod touch really made me pause and think twice. I am now leaning towards getting an iPod touch now, and selling that and picking up an updated iPhone whenever it gets a significant feature bump and possibly even another price drop.

You'd think. Pre-orders should be first filled, otherwise it's as you say -whats the point of PRE-ordering?
I'm reading people are buying them off the shelf from a place called BestBuy? Yet the PRE-order directly from Apple is still pending? WTF???

This is so unfair ! You guys already have access to the iPhone (and some of you actually have iPhones), and now you're getting the Touch 2 weeks before the rest of us. I thought the least they could do is ship the Touch out the the international Apple Stores, but over here they are not expecting stock until the 28th.

In a way it's good 'cause if there are any hardware issues those will hopefully be fixed by the time we get ours.
Another quick review
Ok, had it since yesterday. Before I gripe, let me say, it's overall very impressive. I don't have an iphone so all of this was new to me.
On to what people use these rumor sites for, the negatives (they will all be redundant, but whatever)!
The black screen/polarizing/photo negative thing is a drag. I'm pretty sure this is universal. There may be degrees of this, but it's been on every one i've seen. Those who didn't see it saw it when I pointed it out. So anyone who says their screen is perfect, take with a grain of salt, this is a manufacturing issue that will not be cleared up anytime soon.
Adding events (or anything) in ical. The fact that this is read-only, also a serious drag. The interface is there, it would be a straight port from iphone. Before i got the ipod touch i actually didn't even care about this. Now that i have it, it would be great to actually be able to use this as my calendar (without having to run back to my computer, enter the info in ical, then sync it over to the touch). Sure, they want to distance it from the iphone, then just leave it off instead of a cripple-slap.
And... that's about it. Everything else (to me) is pretty killer. Except capacity of course, but that topic has been beaten to death.
Was it worth the money? Yes. Will I be happy when the hackers get a crack at this thing? Draw your own conclusion.
