I have been getting this for the past 4 hours when looking for my order status of a powerbook case. Is Apple fixing the backend of the shopping cart system for new iPods?

I can only hope

I just got in fine....Done updating?

 

[spacepower7]

nope

I can see the Apple store fine, but I still can't view the Apple Order Status... meaning? Is Apple rebuilding their shipping system, or is it offline while they update?

I stated b4 that I was looking at an order status for a powerbook case that I had already ordered on Monday.

It might not have anything to do with new iPods, but maybe it does? We'll find out very soon

Not me, I just tried and it has that posted note showing.
And saying that the store is being updated.

Well looks like the hype was for nothing...

The 6gb ipod mini is here, but it doesn't have a colour screen, just coloured buttons on the click wheel to match the colour of the unit and a drop in price for the ipod photo's, also cutting the 40 gb model to a 30gb model.

Nothing Major once again...

Only thing i don't get is....they have stopped the gold version of the ipod mini....pointless, but now that makes that model somewhat of a collectors item.
