Ok another thing. Its now doing what it did this morning b4 all of the madness. I go to the apple site, hit buy now, and then it just does nothing in itunes. Thats what it was like from 730-8 all this morning. Something good? Lets hope

More good news. Activation servers are now up at the stores, and there selling more phones. After all that maybe something good happens. Check out the aricle on engadget, im gonna check if anythings happening at gizmodo.

ipod touch is like the ginger orphan to the iphone, we get jack Sh**.

Haha, that proper made me laugh...

I think Apple could have at least put something up on the website telling us what was going on or whatever. At least that way, we wouldn't all be as frustrated, we wouldnt all be going "ahhhh what the hells going on", and we would have all stopped hitting the button if they had asked us to, so that that servers could have been back up a bit faster...

That to me just seems like common logic... I mean I would do that if I was a business that was having problems like this. Do Apple not care about the customer at all or something?

I know right? At least Jobs could say "For once in my life, i have made a terribly EPIC FAIL"

Back to 1.1.4. Awesome. Hopefully after stores are outta stock, 2.0 will be live. Post any new news here por favor.

Actually it will get worse, since most of those phones haven't been able to sign up either.
It might get better if everyone stopped hitting update every 5 seconds, but I doubt that will happen.

Ack, I just checked out one of the MobileMe threads and it appears that tons of people are still trying to hit the update servers for that and iTunes 7.7, so I'm thinking this update isn't gonna work anytime soon.

i actually havent hit update in about 10 min. The activation servers are up and running which is a GOOD thing cause then they get the iphones out quicker, they know what to expect (hopefully) and once thats done they should let us dl 2nite or 2morrow morning.

I wish apple says something official about all this, but of course, ipod touch is like the ginger orphan to the iphone, we get jack Sh**.

I think that this is the best quote I have read on this topic!! :-(

Let's all cheer up.

iTunes is reporting that the 2.0 firmware is now available for the iPod Touch, however, it's not purchasable yet. It's been less then an hour since Apple's servers were reportedly back online and already Apple's returned things to how they were prior to the servers failing. That's 1.1.4 to 2.0 in less then an hour. It took FOREVER post-server crash. Let's give Apple some props and continue to look forward to the new 2.0 firmware (and everything else...) that Apple DOES want it's consumers (and fanboy's... lol) to enjoy.
