iPod Touch
iPod Touch comes with Wi-Fi for Web browsing and downloading music.

Apple's iPod Touch, which is basically a phone-less iPhone, has started shipping in Australia a few days before the "expected" ship date of 28 September.

The iPod Touch, which was announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs earlier this month, was scheduled to arrive by the end of September but the first orders were fulfilled a few days earlier than expected.

The new iPod comes in two configurations, an 8GB version that costs AU$419 and a 16GB model that costs AU$549. The battery in each can handle 22 hours of audio playback or five hours of video, according to Jobs.

    iPod TouchChris -- 25/09/07

    It shipped on Saturday for me and was delivered at 9 30 am this morning.

    All I can say is WOW !!! I love it.
    Only one drawback, a lack of options to protect it from scratches etc, so till that's available take care of it.

    I would immediately go to the boxwave.com site and get some sent in before a scratch ruins your new pleasure device.

    Rural areas will be welcoming the government's decision to put its money where its politicising is, funnelling $250m into a regional fibre upgrade to six rural centres. Remedying over a decade of near-neglect at the hands of telecoms privatisation, the investment could be the firmest step yet for Labor's NBN dream — but with inevitable political questions and a looming election, Rudd and Conroy need to deliver, and quickly, to preserve the NBN's credibility.
