Nano sales

Despite what the media are reporting I assure you, iPod nano sales are going well. I know this because I was unable to get one until a full 10 days after they were announced and made available. I had been actively (read: “multiple times per day”) calling every Apple Store and electronics store in the area asking if they had the 4GB model in stock. I was on several “call lists” and also noticed the ship delay go from 2-3 days to 5-7 days on the Apple website.

I actually noticed this discrepancy in the news last week; some reported sales as going well, some as not-so-good. I even commented to a friend about it. The bottom line (to consumers) is that the nano is selling, and selling fast. If you want one (and who doesn’t?), then you’ve got to be fast and furious.
