It only cost me a whooping $342.40 with one day shipping and tax. One day shipping is 16 bucks, two day shipping is 10 bucks, so paid 6 bucks more for one day. Since I ordered directly from apple, I’ll probably have to sign for it, not a big deal, don’t want anyone to steal it. My first gen 8 GB touch was 300 bucks when it first came out. Probably give my old touch to sister. Oh yeah the new nano’s have a video camera, to bad the touch’s don’t. Sweet I’ll be able to fit all my music on it, I only have 14.90 GB of music. The new iTunes isn’t showing up in software update yet for me anyways. iTunes found the 3.1 firmware for my touch though. Home sharing will be nice, then my mom can get all the apps I bought on her touch.
Update
Looks like you can pre order the 3rd generation iPod touch’s on amazon now. Apple site says shipping in 24 hours, who knows when amazon will have them in stock. I’d only pre order from amazon if I had a gift card.
Update
APPLE charged me $17.39, have no idea why, or what that charge is for. Shows up on my bank’s site. They charged me that after charging me $342.40. Might need to cancel debit card, apple might be a thief, receipt makes no mention of this $17.39 charge. Only way to find anything out is if I call the fuckers. Never ordering from apple online store again, assholes. Hmm look and see if on bank I can do something to stop it, no point in calling apple, looks like there a bunch of assholes. Wonder if I cancel the order, if they’ll refund $17.39 too.
Oh yeah don’t bother trying to use online chat in store to figure it out, you’ll get a lame response like below.

It might just be a temporary thing, like when you first use your debit card or credit card at some online stores.
Sometimes, though, the merchant doesn’t know the transaction amount until after it’s authorized. A good example of this is at the gas pump. Before you fill up your tank, you’re asked to swipe your debit or credit card to authorize your purchase up to a specified amount. Say, for example, the authorization request is for $50. This amount also shows in your Account Summary as a pending transaction. Your gasoline purchase ends up being $22.50. That’s the actual charge that will be paid to the merchant. In rare instances, the actual transaction is posted to the account before we receive an updated list of pending transactions. In that case, it may look like you’re being charged for the authorized amount of $50 and the actual purchase amount of $22.50. In reality, the pending charge will usually be removed with the next update. In no case will you be charged both amounts.
But usually shows up before the other transaction, but considering bank is a slow ass, its hard to say. They should make it a dollar authorization like every other online store I’ve used does. Bastards.
I’m guessing the $17.39 charge will go away, or the next email from them will tell me what it is…
