I think you are definitely a glass half full person and taking a pessimistic viewpoint from any vantage point ...
From a business perspective ...
It's better to have people clamoring for something rather than like Dell - having so many in the warehouse they have to take a loss on selling it (and of course mailing them in your ipod).
And from a personal viewpoint, doesn't 'scoring/landing' one make you feel even better about your purchase? (not that you shouldn't already be happy).
And right now, there are not a lot of products that you can turn around and sell for sometimes TWICE what you paid for it - if you wanted to ...
This isn't a matter of failed forecasting - simply the fact that they cannot make enough tiny HHD's - and Apple is actually in a great position - when you have a product that is clearly superior - people will wait for it ... and unlike some other companies - Apple hasn't raised the price to gouge people - in fact, the European version is priced lower than the initial announcement!
