Bollocks! Knew there was something I was supposed to look at in the Apple shop on Tuesday besides the new Macbooks and weirdy keyboards.

Are you sure about this? I popped in to the Regent St store yesterday and they were adamant that it was September 28th all over the UK.

I've been following this whole story by lurking in the iPod Lounge forums. It seems that the iPod Touches *were* available in the London store right after Steve was there, but quickly sold out and people are now being told that they were a "special batch" for the keynote and that the real launch date is the 28th. However the devices also showed up at other Apple stores in the UK too so I don't know how true that is.
The good news for those of us who preordered to wait seems to be that none of the online-ordered iPods seem to have the bad screens. Apparently the week of manufacture of the iPods is in the serial number, and those in US shops have been mostly week 36 and 37 units (with 36 most likely to be defective and 37 less likely but still with some faulty ones). All the online orders to actually be delivered in the US so far have been week 38, and apparently flawless .
That's good, I'd be a bit miffed if they were generally available in store. Seeing as I don't have a store locally it wouldn't change much for my own order but even so... Damn it, Steve, I want to be the frist to wave my Touchy Willy!
Can anyone who's already got an iPod Touch tell me what wireless authentication methods it supports? I'm only WEP at home (due to wanting the DS and Nabaztag to connect) but at work we're all certificate based WPA2 Enterprise and it'd be nice if I could use it there.

Quite a few people have asked for the support of various forms of EAP.
As Apple supports most forms on OS X it seems possible, and I even
think likely, that they will update the firmware to add support.

WPA2-PSK only at the moment AFAIK.
Does do WEP so you'll be fine. My one connects via WEP ok, but it does tend to overload it and break it a bit - need to reset my router a lot.
