Chris Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO--They arrived with high hopes of landing the latest iPod, but, in the end, they shuffled home disappointed. About 60 people lined up outside Apple Computer's retail store here on Saturday, many arriving more than an hour before the store's 9 a.m. opening. Although the shop did have a supply of Mac Minis and its latest software titles, there were no iPod Shuffles to be had. Among those who went home empty handed was T.C. Watanasoponwong, who was in San Francisco on a business trip from his native Thailand. He planned to buy an iPod Shuffle for his girlfriend, but said now he would have to buy her something else. "I'm very disappointed," he said, walking away from the store just minutes after it opened. The iPod Shuffle went on sale last week, but Apple's retail stores quickly sold out of their initial supply of the music players, which sell for $99 or $149, depending on how many songs they hold.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
