I managed to get a 20GB iPod from Virgin a couple of hours ago, apparently they have plenty. Virgin only recently started stocking iPods, however I don’t think they are not doing the greatest job of promoting this fact. In the store they only had one sign advertising the iPod. However there are a few problems, I was talking to the manager guy there, firstly the numbers they where able to get in the Christmas run up was not great. On top of that only the big stores are carrying them, the smaller shops are only able to order them. Apple really need to sort out their relationship with big UK retailers if they want to build a bigger brand, part of that is matching anticipated demand, Virgin reckon they will be sold out come the weekend, then they have another 2 week wait before getting another batch.
