A Nice Surprise at the Apple Store in Hawaii, Posted 09-15-2007, 12:35 PM #1
Was at the Apple store at Ala Moana Mall in Waikiki today looking for external hard drives and other new Mac accessories, had a bunch of things to purchase when the guy helping me out was called to the back to pick something up. I was waiting for him by the register when he came out with a couple of boxes that he handed out to other sales people... Then he asked me if I was interested in a new Apple product that isn't going be available in a bunch of places till the 28th of Sept. Here is what it looked like (sorry for the picture quality, was using my treo):

As soon as he got the box open I told him I'd take 3! So I did....

Now a proud owner of a 16 GB iPod Touch!

* Yes, I will be putting one (just one) sealed 16GB touch up for sale when I get back in a week.

Sweet! Let us know for how much you'll be selling it, okay?

And oh, please post reviews and unboxing pics as well, hehehe... Thanks in advance!

Just wondering out loud. Could the guy get in trouble for releasing it before the scheduled date? Curious lang. Btw, congrats!!!!

^ nope. ...a lot of apple stores in the US have already started selling the touch.

The probability of anything happening is directly proportional to its desirability.

yup, select Apple stores are carrying the touch, that's makes Byerly really lucky.

Elbert: Thanks, I agree. The Apple store experience is unbeatable.

scuba_holic: The 28th is actually for online purchases so some stores are already getting their stock as early as now. A friend of mine just passed by the Apple store I went to, all iPod touch stock sold out! hehe.

johannes: Will do, I'll post it when I get back. The box opening will have to wait till then too, have too much to do from now till I leave. If nobody has any pics up yet by the time I get back I'll post them up.

That's good to hear. That would really have sucked if he had gotten in trouble for his generosity. Again, congratulations!!!
