I would like a new nano, though.
I checked downtown and they won't be out until the first week in October. WTF
That's a month after the USA. Does it really take that long to print some hangul inserts? Crikey, we are right across the way from the factories...
Oh well. Rolling Eyes

edit: I just checked and the new iPods are in available in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia. I guess Korea is too tiny an Apple market.


That can't be right. The iTouch will not be available until September 28th in the US. It'll ship 1 week later in Korea.

Ships by September 28th.

My Korean iTouch that I ordered last week said it will ship out on Oct. 5th.

I was referring to the new nano and classic ipods, not the iTouch Myself.
The iTouch Myself's capacity is too small and the design still too green. It'll be a year or more before it's ready, for me at least.

They are actually in some stores now, saw one yesterday, they are nice, very nice- the browser esp is great. I only wish the capacity was a bit higher.

Does anyone know how well the ipod touch's wifi would work in Seoul? Can you use a service like nespot with it? I heard it can read Korean websites, but any word on Asian language text input?


http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html

..suggests that it will display Korean fine, but it won't have Korean text input...which I guess it alright since it isn't an sms device....but sure won't help any Koreans buy it...

As far as Nespot... I doubt it...I'm having enough trouble getting Nespot to work with my MacBook, since the whole login process is really tied to Windows. But I bet the touch will work fine on the plethora of networks at starbuks, hollys, etc.....

But then there's the issue of Korean websites....which notoriously suck on anything but IE...

And of course the ipod touch uses Safari.....so I wouldn't count on updating your cyworlds, or doing too much with any korean sites.

Make sure your Ipod touch is from week 38 or later. I guess the early versions pretty much all have screen problems. You can check the week by looking at the last 2 digits of the serial number.
