    Unofficial official Release Date

    So I found it odd that there's a preorder yet no actual release date for the touch so I decided to call...

    On the phone with one of the reps, apparently it was originally set for release November 2009. The rep said he's now hearing a June 2010 release date.

    That sucks!!! Just thought you guys would like to know...

    Was this a Logitech rep in the US? That seems rediculous. They have a beta trial going and apparently the software is almost done.

    I hope that person was misinformed.

    yea, it was a US rep, not even a half hour ago. I find it ridiculous as well considering the preorder has been around for a while now. I just preordered it assuming another month, maybe 2 but now june...

    I don't believe June. I have no inside information, but I am a beta, and
    the software is really coming along nicely. Its all speculation at this
    point.

    You realize those people don't have a clue right?

    Besides cluelessness, one other ploy is to start a rumor that is just out of bounds (but still a possibility) for the specific purpose of drawing a response from those in the know.

    Of course, sometimes too-clever-by-half is just the flip side of clueless.

    Shouldn't this be taken care of inside Logitech ?
    From a customer relation point of view it feels kind of strange that different parts of Logitech gives the customer different indications. I realize Logitech is a big company, but still, saying that someone that works in a different part of the same company doesn't have a clue can't be a good idea...

    As a customer, I do expect to get the answer on questions like these from my sales representative or market annoucements/press releases.

    Maybe the rep mixed the Touch up with the next post-Touch amazing Squeezebox that not even beta testers know about yet! I wonder what IS coming in June 2010...

    Might as well shoot high on the rumor front
