The UK and the US store are now down again. I could get into the US store initially but when I clicked on the iPod link to take me to the iPod store, the store is being updated post-it came up
 
OK. I think it's pretty much confirmed that every online Apple store is down now.

Isn't it kinda funny how Apple.com gets all this traffic to the store at the worst time :D
 
Just to add to how big the iPod is and the hype of the day...

CNN just had a story about the minis and the supposed wireless aspects to a new iPod that could be released.
 
Confirm store down in US! Side note: Is it unusual to see apple updates on a wed? I thought they were a tuesday affair. Also, wouldnt a color Mini be fodder for a larger release than "updating the website"

I would think this would come at a large announcement, no?

I take it CNN were just repeating rumors not stating new stuff...

No, if it's something like a color screen or wireless then it's not that big of an update to the line and it wouldn't be worthy of a big announcement like a new generation of the iPod.
 
Swiss Store Down

Hi,

the Swiss Store is also down. I have been trying the order status for my new PB 15" :D that is also hopefully coming but the order status feature has been down for the past 6 hours. Is this normal?

Ciao

Tuesday updates are a thing of the past, I think.

I believe the last PB update was on a Monday. :rolleyes:
 
A Wednesday update would be uncharacteristic of Apple, but hey, whatever works! Glad to see Jobs hasn't forgot about the mini, what with all the focus on the iPod. iPod photo and now the iPod shuffle. Guess we'll see in a few hours...
 
If this was going to be something "big"—new ipods with color screens and bluetooth and not just new ipod minis—wouldn't Apple host a special event and make a big to-do out of it? Like with the U2pod?
 
Well if it does come up in an hour, I'm calling the Apple Store on Regent Street to see if they have stock in and going straight from work.... MEWANNA 6GB COLOUR SCREEN MINI NOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

That's what I was thinking. This sure seems like a sloppy way to release an update if that's the case.

It's not really new iPods but instead the iPod photo becoming THE iPod and the photo line sort of dying off. And the wireless isn't big enough of a new feature to require a big release. Like I said before, if a completely new iPod were to be released, it would be worthy of a bigger release.

Ditto - damn Apple and their devious way of making me part with my hard(ish) earned cash... a new Powerbook and Shuffle bought this month, an iMac on order, and now an iPod Mini!!!!!
They're so damn addictive they need a health warning :D
