Availabili​ty of the 64gig IPOD Touch 4G

Question

I have seen several BestBuy's in my area have received the 32gig version of the Touch, but I have yet to see any 64gig versions available.  Anybody know of the availability for the 64gig models?

Mmm yes and no. It would be safe to assume that Apple would fill its own stock first before shipping any extra products to other retailers, however, Best Buy and WMart are the two putting Apple on the board due to their volume. There are approximately 1100 Best Buys and 2700 WMarts in the U.S. compared to a paltry 230 Apple stores. Not to mention that not everyone shops online because the iTouch is one of those things you might want to see and feel first before buying and not everyone trusts the internet. If Apple wants to keep the potential buyers salivating on their new product(s), they're going to want to keep their two giant partners supplied with product(s).
Although, I do admit that I do not like the way Best Buy handles these types of hot items. They sell it to you first, charge your card, then tell you that it's backordered... How about they list the item as "sold out" so no one is duped then sell it when they have some in stock and can actually fill those orders? If you're going to have the items on backorder, at least inform the customer before you take their money and make them wait 2-3 weeks (and I'm being generous here) for it.
I would give Target a try every now and then. Sometimes you just never know what you'll find in there. That's how I got my Wii years ago when it was ultra rare. Best Buys and WMarts were all sold out (just like everywhere else). My fiancee and I were just shopping for household products at Target and I wandered into the electronics department and asked if they had any Wiis. Lo and behold they had three in stock... I also picked up my limited edition Japanese Nintendo DS there too.... which I regret selling for $800 last year .
I DO NOT work for Best Buy. Whatever I post are just educated guesses or common sense.
