I've been trying to find a 10 or 15gb iPod in the UK and no one has any! Anybody know who has any in stock? There's a 2-3 week delivery time on apple store website! I want one now!

What's wrong with http://www.apple.com/ukstore ? That's where I got mine (Well the Education part thereof). Service is good and there's never gonna be a problem with returning it if it has faults.

I've just come back from my hols in Edinburgh, the Apple seller there had 10's and 30's, but no 15's. maybe there's an update on the way... Paris Expo?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

if anyone knows where to get one, post back- London seems dry, as does much of the south east- John lewis (high Wycombe- Bucks.. the local) says end of september earliest...

Were they ever in good supply? I had one on order from Cancom ages ago, shortly after release, Apple kept fscking with them and it got pushed back and back. I did some research and it turned out one of the shops in Tottenham Court Road had one of the original batch (white backlight), so I just walked in and picked it up.

My 15Gig is right next to me

Bought from Apple Store, but delivered after a long wait.

Cancom in Kensington has 30gb ipods for £330- so its 10 gig extra for £30- not bad. Its next day delivery, either pick up in store or delivery to home- because of this, I guess its cancom in general- off to order mine tomorrow for monday pick up

You must be joking? The UK Apple store has a notoriously crap reputation for service. I'll only buy from them if I have absolutely no other choice.
In fact, their service is so bad, they even Emailed me to apologize before I had even complained. Sad, but true..

John Lewis, Micro Anvika, Jigsaw systems & Cancom would be my 1st ports of call.. Probably in that order.
If they don't have them, I very much doubt any company this side of the atlantic has them.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.
