Since the day the  new iPod Touch 4th gen (with iOS 4 and Facetime) released in Malaysia via Apple online store, buyers have to wait 4 weeks before it got shipped. But beginning yesterday, waiting period has been cut short, your orders will be shipped within 24hours. This  indicate that Apple has managed to catch up with the huge demand for iPod Touch by ramping up production lines

A quick check last Monday at Apple retailers  such as Machines found they’re also facing limited iPod Touch stock especially 8GB and 16GB version. The stock will only received on Friday. I’m not sure now, but if retailer are out of stock again, you now can order it from Apple Store and received the item in the next few days.
