Apple shipping times
With Christmas fast approaching, Apple has provided many specials for its wide variety of products, with details posted in the Apple online store. In order to make sure that customers receive product by Christmas, a minimum purchase date last is available through the online store portal. Dates range from December 13th to the 19th for standard orders, and December 20th to the 21st for overnight shipped goods. Some computer configurations could add some delay, and may not result in a Christmas delivery.
Apple is also offering free shipping on all iPhone products, with a $5 gift wrapping service available for iPods, iPhones, and select Apple software. The gift wrap consists of an artistically folded box and a thick red ribbon, and can be personalized with a greeting card.

The Touch features a 3.5-inch touch-sensitive glass screen in lieu of buttons. It connects to the Internet via built-in Wi-Fi. There's a full-featured Web browser for surfing the Net. The Touch plays photos, videos and music. You can download songs from Apple's iTunes directly onto the player. Unfortunately, the Touch does not work with subscription music services. Dropping the phone functions meant dropping all the related chips, giving Apple designers a chance to make the device thinner than the iPhone. It also left more room for memory. In the 8GB version taken apart by iSuppli, Toshiba (TOSBF) supplied flash memory chips. Other companies known to supply Apple with flash chips for use in the iPod and iPhone (http://iDemocracy.info) include Samsung, Hynix Semiconductor, and Micron Technology (MU).
