iPods are in healthy supply (update: mostly)

Wed, 12/03/2008 - 11:59 — Cleve Nettles

Reports around the Internet say that Amazon and others are having problems keeping up with demand on iPods.  A quick check around refutes this claim to a degree, as Amazon has all models in stock and ready to ship - tho sometimes they are from affiliates.  There are a few outages here and there but overall, they appear to be in good supply.  But, just in case, if you have holiday iPod aspirations, you may want to pick up something now.  

Oh, we'd like to take this opportunity to show you how cheap our Amazon affiliates sell iPods  (maybe they will run out!):

Apple iPod touch 32 GB Best Price $378.99
Apple iPod touch 16 GB Best Price $284.99
Apple iPod touch 8 GB   Best Price $200.00
Apple iPod classic 120 GB Best Price $190.00
Apple iPod nano 8 GB  Best Price $134.95

Best Buy? Ships in a day  Update: some nanos are out of stock

Target? 24 hours with a few nanos waiting

Yes and No...

The iPod Touches available here and through other sellers. The ones through Amazon.com itself and not available.

Actually, no and no.  There

Actually, no and no.  There isn't one that we can find out of stock.  Hook us up with a URL if you can find one.

Actually, yes and yes and no

If you are going to be snarky, at least be right

Amazon is out of stock on the 8 MB
http://www.amazon.com/gp/legacy-handle-buy-box.html/ref=dp_ebb_1?ie=UTF8...

Out of stock on the 16 MB
http://www.amazon.com/gp/legacy-handle-buy-box.html/ref=dp_ebb_1?ie=UTF8...

and in stock on the 32 MB. It is hard to see unless you look, because they are popping the 6th Ave partner sales (which are Amazon Prime eligible).

Best Buy

Best Buy is out of stock of the nano on at least 5 colors.

Amazon is now selling thru resellers and not out of their own supply so yes and yes

Best Buy - some are a week

Best Buy - some are a week behind...but not all - hardly a widespread shortage.  Send us a link to Amazon, we can't find anything.

The 8GB and 16GB Touches are

The 8GB and 16GB Touches are both shipping in 3 to 5 weeks from Amazon.com . Look in the right hand column in the "More Buying Options" section from the links you supplied.

Apple rocks the season!

Apple rocks the season! People aren't spending money on junk for Christmas this year...they're buying quality products. Apple is going to be the one standing when the dust settles and Mike Dell is selling pencils out of a tin cup.

Out of supply on iPod Touch

I do not much trust some Amazon affiliates; small firms no one has heard of, with some unfavorable feedback.
