Alongside the new iPhone 5, another big announcement by Apple last month was the new iPod touch. Unlike the previous iterations, the 5th gen iPod touch has gone through a major redesign. For the first time Apple has made it available in several striking and bold looking colours. It’s also got the hardware to back it up. With a larger 4 inch screen to the A5 chipset, the 5th gen iPod touch certainly is right up there with the best media players.
Those who ordered it right after the announcement are now getting confirmation from Apple about shipping and delivery. Apple is now shipping orders of the 5th gen iPod touch, as well as the new iPod nano, with delivery expected early next week. The image above is an email from Apple regarding the shipment notice of a 5th gen iPod touch that was ordered in the United States. People from other countries are also reported to have received similar notices. This is only a day after Apple started shipping the 30 pin to Lightning adaptor.
There are also rumours about limited supply of 5th gen iPod touch at the beginning, but that’s normal for any Apple device launch and will probably be rectified within no time.
