Checked yesterday & after 6 days they upped my status from 'processing' to 'sent to vendor' as seen above. Now it's a waiting game. From what I understand the iPods are backordered from eCost.com (where the site orders from) & there are quite a few people ahead of me in line. Honestly, I'll be surprised if I get it any earlier than the end of September. But, who's complaining? It's a free iPod!
