So When is the new 4th Gen going to be ready to ship?

How soon can we get these things? And where?

Duff-Man says....may I suggest that you read the other posts in this thread and the other thread in the news section. You will then see just how many people have already asked the same thing, and you will no doubt see the answer you are seeking....oh yeah!
 
I thought I had read most of the other threads, but I must have missed something.

This forum needed one Main thread, rather then three seperate ones.

The cram and jam deal actually says "with the purchase of any Apple Ipod (except mini:...)" and it lists the models for all the mini's - so because it didn't say anything about it having to be a 3G Ipod, do you think we can apply this cram and jam to the new Ipods? Either way, do we know that they will be available on Monday? Or even before the Cram and Jam deal ends? Maybe it's just a press release about the new Ipods but they won't be available for shipping (or purchasing) until (conveniently) after September 25, when the Cram and Jam ends. Boo urns...

I actually have an ipod on order through cram and jam. Im hoping that if apple doesnt offer me an upgrade that Ill be able to call and change my order. it isnt scheduled to ship until wednesday, so im crossing my fingers that the 4gs will be available tomorrow.

Sony will end up killing Apple if this is the poor update for the iPod, seriously a click-wheel and bigger hard drive. Call it the end of the iPod if this is all they can 'Innovate', it is really sad honestly. Apple had another chance and it is now gone. Sony has it out for them with a vengance, longer battery life, video, tuner, etc... and who really cares about the proprietary format. One is just as bad as the other. Unless this update includes video or some other features, iPod is DEAD! Which is sad, I own a 1g and a 3g, and wil NOT upgrade to this if it is the 4g.

Dude, the sony can't even play mp3 without first converting them. The iPod can play serveral formats and from what I read the sony only plays one!

Yep, you're correct Stewie. Once again, the iPod/iTMS will face competition, the skeptics will say that Apple is foolish in its strategies, and that the iPod/iTMS is doomed, and yet the iPod/iTMS will stand the test of time and spank the compeition. Bring it on Sony! At least Sony will have one customer in xsnightclub, from the looks of it... :cool:

I e-mailed my Apple sales rep and he is calling me tomorrow to change my order (see a few pages back) so I'm sure it won't be a problem for you. My iPod (w/ cram and jam) wasn't scheduled to ship until the 27th.

Well no, when I placed my order the person from Apple e-mailed me his Apple e-mail and extension at Apple should I have any questions or any more orders.

Everyone already knows this and there is a new, updated thread to reflect the iPod updates, so you don't have to worry about posting this - especially posting the same message in multiple threads... :cool:
 
how long on this forum before you can create threads?

That was the international release date, prior to that they were only available in the United States. And the anodized aluminum has been known to give various shades from pastel to vivid, its a cause of the process.
