All I Want for Christmas is a New iPod!

Like an estimated 20 million other folks out there this quarter, a new iPod might be on your list for the holidays. Good luck getting one in the stores. My recent trip to the Apple Store in our mall had them getting picked from the shelves like cards on a Vegas blackjack table. While I was impressed with the efficiency and the methods for getting folks in the store, in line and up to the counter, I couldn't believe how quickly they were going.

My salvation? Mail order! Apple, J & R, and Amazon are shipping them out like election campaign materials:
