Apple iPod Touch shipped early

It's like Christmas Eve in Chez B. Today's the day Santa sets off from his grotto to bring me the shiny new gift I asked him for (online) one month ago. The gift that will let me be much more social media and web 2.0 than I already think I am. Yes, today's the day my iPod Touch is shipped. Or at least it was meant to be.

Yesterday at 10pm I was emailed by Santa's elf, Apple, saying my pressie had now been shipped. W00t! A day early! But what's this? Estimated arrival date of 10th October?! That's two weeks. It really is coming from Lapland by reindeer. And what's that? It 'has' been shipped on 28th September? A day after the email was sent. Maybe it hasn't actually beent at all. Glitchy, glitchy Apple.

I am none the wiser as to when my Touch will arrive and am just hoping the product itself isn't as glitchy as the delivery process is looking from here.

Anyone else experiencing a teensy bit of iPod Touch anxiety?

Update: Ouch! The iPhone customers in the US  are having major problems.  This post on Scoble's blog is worth a read: Apple has a PR nightmare brewing.

The iPod touch just started shipping out in Canada yesterday! It was supposed to be released Oct 2, then it got moved to Oct 1, but mine just got shipped yesterday. I can't wait!

Hey Guys, my friend order his on the 19 of september, and they shipped it on the 22, with the release date being the 28. I ordered one yesterday, it says it will ship oct. 11, do you think they will do the same thing for me? Ship it early

I bought one unit last week and I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and reviews of the latest iPod Touch. Not only it is super slim and lightweight, I actually admire it for the full functionality and easy to navigate options menu. Of course the best part is, the sound quality is superb.

I love my iphone 3g. It is lightyears ahead of anything else out there.

The 2nd generation iPod Touch is an almost perfect device.

I wonder when the next version of the ipod touch will be released?
