There have been widespread reports of AT&T stores selling out. I waited
at one yesterday for a couple of hours (didn't think it would be that
long, but they seemed pretty inept at managing the volume) and went home
empty-handed. 8 GB models sold out in the first 1/2 of the line, and 4
GB models shortly thereafter.
Apple is clearly favoring its own retail stores for unit shipments.
Rumors sites say AT&T stores got 70 or 90 each, while Apple stores got
hundreds or thousands.

Meh. I'm sure they were always planning to count online sales.
