Your New iPod?

UPDATE: The store seems to be working well today, they were really bogged down yesterday. Apple sold 14 million iPods last holiday quarter and I would expect that they sold a similar number of units this year. I was able to download both a song and a TV show sucessfully today.

If you got a new iPod or iTunes gift card today, here's something to keep in mind. Thanks to TUAW for the good advice.

"iTunes is not normally this slow: You've got to understand what happens on Christmas morning and throughout this week is that the iTunes store is bombarded by all you new and excited iPod owners--not to mention everyone who already had an iPod and got a gift card under the tree. Sure, go ahead and peek around the store but you might want to delay your serious iTunes shopping for a few days until things settle down and the store response time starts getting better."

The iTunes music store is really slow right now due to extreme demand, it might be better to try it later tonight or tommorow.

Enjoy your shiny new iPods!

NOTE: Apparently I am being blamed for using some content from another blog, TUAW.com. I don't consider that wrong because I happened to give them credit in the article. If a blog, TUAW.com, which I happen to love, posts something really worthwhile in the hopes of spreading the message of how iPods are selling very well and that is affecting the speed of their website, I don't see the problem in posting that. Thank you for letting me know about things you thought were wrong, and I think most of them have been corrected at this point.
