This evening I wandered into the Apple store in my current undisclosed location in order to kill some time. I figured I would get a little hands on time with the iPhone. As I start groping an iPhone a perky Apple Store Employee (iEmployee?) approached me. So not expecting any real information, I ask her if she has heard anything about when the iPod Touch was shipping..
And she tells me “oh we got them today, they’re on display on the other side of that wall…” … and I left a vapor trail over to the indicated wall where I WAITED IN LINE to check out the new Touch.
When I got up there, initial indications - it’s SMALL. Typing is a little difficult, mainly because I was trying to use my fingernail to do things on the screen, however with the Touch (and probably the iPhone) you need to use your actual fingertip. The only other negative I had in my first look was that the high gloss screen did pick up quite a bit of glare from the bright lights in the Apple store.
Soon… I’ll get one soon…
