If they run their shops the way they ran the 770 launch you'll be able to go in and see the devices locked in cabinets. They'll have big signs up saying "Available Monday, Shipping Wednesday"! You'll order then they'll say sorry, those are just display models we can't sell you those. The others will be in real soon now. You go back another day. The sign changes. The available Wednesday has been crossed out and now it says "Shipping Next Week". You go back every day and everytime they tell you a different day that they'll open that cabinet and give you your unit. You go in day after day after day. The sign has had the next week bit crossed out and underneath it is written "Shipping First Thing Next Year". You start thinking by the time you get one someone will have ported Duke Nukem Forever to it! Eventually they do open the cabinet but then they sell those devices to other people in the shop who paid a little more. They keep saying yours will be there any day now. The sign changes again and now written down the bottom in very small letters (there isn't much room left) it says "We're Pretty Sure They'll Ship Before The End Of The Year We Think". You go back to the shop and ask about your 770 and the salesman says "Oh, that. We didn't think you wanted that anymore. You better confirm your order." You scream. on the inside. Where no one can hear your pain. You feel like ripping down the damn sign and whacking the salesman upside the head with it. Eventually, you're now old and grey, they finally open the cabinet and give you your 770. Finally, the moment has come. You stride out of the shop clutching your new precious. And across the road you see a sign in the window of the Apple shop - "New iPod PDA Released Today"!
