As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

all iPod touch 2G comes with software 2+...so you couldn't have gotten 1.1...also when 3.0 comes pre-installed i think it will cost more too..

Hi, I do not think this is the updated version of the 5G. I am also looking to see If this was, however I am sure that they have not released the updated version to amazon.com yet, I do not see the 80 Gig on here either which leads me to believe that we may have to wait for amazon to release it on their site. This is disappointing to me because I have a gift certificate that I wanted to use it towards the new Ipod, but I am certian that perhaps in the next week or so they should have it released. Good luck!

Thanks for the update. There was no way I was going to buy this from Amazon when they were selling it before Christmas at 249.00. I kept tracking it to see if the price went down and now I don't have to. I bought one as well from Leapfrog. Thank you again!

Buy it through apple.com. Right now they are giving a free ipod touch with any mac purchase for college.

If you bother to read the title, it says, "iPhone 3GS or earlier." What does that tell you? There's also a listing for a new version that works only with the iPod touch 4 Gen and iPhone 4/4S.

The one I got came with ios 3.1.3, and that was the last supported ios on the original iPhone. You can hack it to different ios, but 3.1.3 is the last official version.

I think you sumed it up well. Seems like most of the business world is just waiting for the small supplies of the iTouch to be let out of the Apple warehouse. I talked again to the manager at Best Buy and he said they have no idea ahead of time what they will get. My guess is Amazon is in the same sitution. I have gotten items from Amazon also for years and a similiar thing came up when the HP or it was then Compaq iPaq PDA's first came out, the supply was way more then what was produced. This was the first really vague email response I had received from Amazon, usually they are pretty good. Hopefully Apple will get these things out the door fast ! I think you sumed it up well.

"As to the release date, Apple says the estimate date is the 11th." I think it is sooner cause when I had my ordered at apple.com I had an estimated delivery date of the 10th-14th and that it with their free shipping so it's slow. I canceled my order and got it here to save money.

You check in system information screen (apple logo). It can only be update at apple store. New ones are all latest firmware

I believe that stores other than the Apple stores won't have them for a while. I went to BestBuy and they told me they didnt think they would have them til December, which might explain why Amazon is on preorder

It'd probably take awhile till they ship out the NEWER iPod Touch for the same great price. Haha, it's not even listed on amazon.com yet.

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

I've been wondering that myself so I emailed customer service. The response I got back said she had confirmed it was shipping with iLife '08, but then as proof, she copied the details from the product page that said iLife '06. I wrote back asking for verification since there was the discrepancy. The next customer service person to answer couldn't even find the Macbook Pro and sent me a link to a Family Tree software product (???) and suggested calling Apple for help. I called Amazon customer service, but the person I spoke with also could only refer to the webpage and wasn't sure how recently their stock was purchased from Apple. Now, I love amazon as much as the next regular customer, but only being able to give me information I could already get myself is not my idea of helpful customer service! (I did try calling Apple, too, but as expected, they had no way of knowing how recent Amazon's stock is.) Anyway, sorry I don't have the answer, but if anyone else has purchased it recently, I'd be interested to hear as well.

Yeah, what's up with that? I just bought it for my sister's birthday and Amazon is telling me that it'll ship in November??? Forget it, I'm canceling the order and buying it from Apple.

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR I-devices to ios 8.0+ I just updated mine a 2 days ago and it no longer recognized the device or "resolution" as it displays on the TV screen. I checked online and apparently it's Apple's way to force us to use their official products, so don't update or you're out of luck because they removed "down-grading" from now on.
