Best Way to Get an iPod Touch

Today, I finally got my 16gb iPod Touch. I have been calling the stores near me a couple times a day and since I live about 45 minutes away I wanted to make sure they had ample supply before I was going to drive the distance to the apple store. (There are a couple around me since I live near the silicon valley). I found out a couple simple things that may be of interest to people still looking to find an iPod Touch.

1. Go to an Apple Retail Store (Many of the normal iPod resellers don’t have them yet)

2. Call in the morning (They get their shipments in from 9am-12pm)

3. They won’t tell you how many they have…but I asked the employee if I were to come from 45 min away what are my chances. (They answered this with no problem)

4. Press 5 when you call and begin to hear the automated recording …this is the fastest way to talk to someone at an apple retail store.

5. Find an employee right away (At the back of the store there are more)…they are selling fast and you don’t want to be there when they sell the last one to someone else.

6. Pay with credit card… if you pay with cash you may have to wait a bit because only certain registers can check you out.

Did I miss anything?
