When Does the iPod Touch Hit Tokyo?

This isn't a technical question, but I thought I'd try here. Does anyone know when the iPod Touch will be out in Tokyo? I visit the Apple Store a couple of times each week and as of today (Friday Sept. 28) the employees still can't give a date for release here. I WANT IT!! And I know that it has already been released in the States.
My problem is compounded due to the fact that my credit card is from a U.S. bank, so the online Japan Apple Store won't accept it. And the online U.S. Apple Store won't ship to Japan.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

This is the story today.
My order status is:
IPOD TOUCH 16G PERS-JPN
Ships by: 2007/10/10 - 2007/10/15
Delivers by: 2007/10/16 - 2007/10/19
I called Apple Online Store to ask what was going on with ship time discrepancies and the guy I spoke to said: " There is an error in what the order status shows. 20,000 iPod Touches were shipped to customers in Japan YESTERDAY, so you should have yours in a couple of days". I asked what week model it would be. He said he didn't know. We talked about the problems in US/UK/ etc. being reported here, and he said he was not aware of them (which I found a little hard to believe).
I asked if the brick and mortar stores in Japan had iPod Touches yet and he said they didn't. So I asked why not, as 28th was the day Steve Jobs announced they would go on sale? He said he didn't know.
Anyway, I am now waiting to see if my status changes, so I can check the serial number before it arrives. If it doesn't, I will just have to wait a couple more days (?) to see whether I am going to be pleasantly surprised.........or not.

  • HT1476 How would I know when does the iPod touch completes charging?

    Since the iPod touch doesn't display a battery percentage, how would I know when the charging is completed? In iOS 6 and earlier there would be a plugged-in icon meaning that the device is charged, but in iOS 7 there is only one icon that can mean both charging or charged.

    Battery icons
    The battery indicator icon in the upper-right corner of the screen shows battery charging status and about how much charge is left in the battery. When connected to a power source, a small lightning icon will appear next to the battery icon:
    If the battery charge is very low, the device may display a black screen with an empty battery icon, indicating that the battery needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use the device. If the battery is extremely low on power, the device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of the low-battery images appears; continue to charge the unit for at least 30 minutes or until it is fully charged.
    Yes I already saw this article before and this doesn't help ansewering my question. For iOS 6 and earlier, there would be a lightning icon in the battery when it's charging. If it's charged then there would be a plugged-in icon in the battery. However, the lightnight icon besides the battery in iOS 7 stays the same all the time as long as it's plugged into the charger. So I have no idea when does it finishes its charging, as it doesn't even show battery percentage like iPhone does.

  • When does the iPod Touch 5G release in retail stores, in Mississauga, Ontario?

    Recently, I have been following when the iPod Touch 5G will be released in my local Apple Store, Futureshop and Bestbuy. I've been checking but I haven't seem to get the exact answer of when it will be released and available for purchase in stores. Does anyone have an idea or know when they will be released in stores?

    I do not expect anyone here to know any better. If you asked the stores that is the best you can do.

  • When does the iPod Touch 6th Generation come out?

    Should I get 5th Gen or should I wait?

    Hey Jacie, don't know that this will help-- but earlier models where released in the fall of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. No way of knowing if Apple will continue to follow the pattern. If you can wait, then wait. Otherwise as Illaass stated get the iPod 5. Cheers.

  • What bluetooth protocol does the iPod Touch use with a keyboard?

    Hi...
    Say, does anyone know what bluetooth protocol apple is using for their bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and iPod Touch? It is probably HID, but the people at RIM (i.e. BlackBerry) use SPP. So I would think many 3rd party keyboards use SPP (Serial Port Protocol). But, then, there are many posts about "I wish Apple would support SPP" because people want to build apps that interface with external HW that only supports SPP.
    What I want to do? (you ask)
    I've one of these nice / expensive Think-out-side portable folding keyboards (good). That only has a serial interface (bad). There are many bluetooth "dongles" out there with serial ports (good). But they only support SPP or Serial Port Protocol (bad? maybe? depends).
    See, I know RIM (BlackBerry) people support SPP on their devices. But I haven't heard (found) word one about what the iPod Touch supports. I would hate to spend $80 on one of these dongles and find out it doesn't work.
    So, what does the iPod Touch use when talking to the bluetooth keyboard?
    -thanks

    From page 37 of iOS 4.1 Touch Users Guide:
    Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
    For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;
    iPod touch 3rd generation or later).
    Regarding the original questions, the BT profiles supported by the Touch arelisted here:
