Ya know, I don't think that some of these touches were supposed to make it out this early. For example, The Apple store in Cleveland recieved touches last Friday, 9/14, but they have not received any since. Additionally, the BB stores in the area seemed to have some, but have been sold out for the last few days. I also experienced the same thing while in Denver over the weekend.
The other two things that could be holding things up:
1. Typhoon hitting Shanghai at this time.
2. Apple is responding to the issues and they have halted production in order to get things fixed.
Maybe this is only isolated to my particular area. Is anyone else seeing enexplained outages in their area?
