iPods selling (sort of) like mad

Just in case there was any doubt in your mind, Macworld UK is reporting that iPod sales skyrocketed over the holiday weekend. Nano numbers "shot up" 95 percent for the black model, and 88 percent for the white. Best Buy sold out of both 4 GB versions, and Amazon reported the nano as their 6th best-selling item in the US.

So where's the 5G iPod with video? We've had reports that supply might not meet demand based on hardware component shortages, but not reports of empty shelves. I know it's only the Monday after Black Friday, but I still find it interesting that neither retailers nor analysts nor even Apple themselves have mentioned even a thing about the 5G iPod's status so far. What about you readers, in the front lines? Were customers trampling each other over the weekend to get their hands on a 5G iPod, or is it all about the nano?

As a follow-up: Were you by any chance the one doing the trampling?
