Apple sometimes sucks!
I've been waiting for the iPod in sweden for a month now and the delivery date have been rescheduled three times and was supposed to arrive yesterday - they did so this time... only to be declered DOA!

125 iPods that is DOA!

Apparently these iPods did have the swedish localised menu version and not the english one.

Me and my friend ordered the first 2 iPods in Sweden and now we will not get it before x-mas... this time they say first week in 2002 - the question is, will they really work?

Had mine for 10 days and it came installed with version 1.0.2. It works great. Sorry about all the delays but you will just love it once it arrives.

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

It arrived one hour ago!
My friend managed to get them to pull an ipod from another client (read outsourced apple buffer stock) and have them to ship it to me!
It's localised English and is up-to-date with 1.0.2

iii luuuuuv iiiit!

Ummm... You do realize you have to recharge them first? The battery is/was completely drained on mine when I got mine.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Well I know that and my US version I got was empty as well... But now when Apple have pulled the 1.0.3 update (the one with localised swedish) I've started to think that perhaps apple choose to mark these 125 Swedish iPods DOA due to the fact that they did was running 1.0.3?!
