Hell, I know I want the iPod Touch, why agonize over it? I can wait until it’s actually released and in short supply and every shop in the computer centers marking it up by an extra 10% or go online and order it now and get it engraved as well.

And so I did just that.

Just kept hitting refresh still the store came back online and placed the order. You can probably guess the engraving I selected. First line “Spike” second line “Hongkie Town”.

Judging from how slow the web site is, either it’s hosted on servers in the US or everyone else in Hong Kong also stayed up late and is placing their order now.

Ship date is given at Friday, 28 September. Monday’s a holiday, means I’ll have it Tuesday, 2 October. Maybe a couple of days after they start appearing in stores, but at least I won’t be paying more than list price and can sleep soundly knowing that there’s one with my name on it (literally) heading my way.

Wonder if I’m gonna need a headphone adapter like the ones the iPhone seems to need?
