YUUUP.
It was out on Thursday MORNING, in which I went to school.
I forgot to ring Apple to check if the new iPod Touches arrived, and BAM. IT was there.
Sadly, realizing I have to wait few more days to get one, I just ordered it. The Apple genius said it would be much faster.

Sure...

But I don't get why Japan still didn't get theirs yet, they're very close to China!

Because of this ninja stars story...

The availability (or lack thereof) of the new ipod touch in Japan has nothing to do with geography and everything to do with politics. Japan has been dumping on Apple claiming that its ipods burst into flames and such. These importation barriers are typical protectionist tactics employed by Japan since the dawn of time. In this way, Japanese business is protected from any real competition and artificially high prices are maintained in the domestic market. Japan is famous for having blocked the importation of skis from Europe on the basis that Japanese snow is different from Swiss snow.

Are they STILL blocking US Beef imports due to the 3-4 cattle with mad cow disease? lol
