And So it Begins…
Just as the image above suggests – it’s here and, ummm, it has “3G speed built in”. It’s a good thing Apple clarified that because we thought the new iPhone came with 3G on the side. We’ve got to give it to Apple this time as they did a much better job of not only building hype, but also convincing a whole lot more people that they need to have the iPhone 3G the instant it’s available. Last year the few stores that had lines form pre-release were blown out of proportion, not to mention few and far between. This year, it’s getting dirty. Longer lines, seemingly more anxious people and we have some stores running out of iPhones shortly after opening their doors. We’re getting emails and comments reporting that some stores are already planning to sell their Saturday allotment today. Wow. As you know, we already got our grubby mits on an iPhone 3G so we might just sit tight and enjoy the AC today. If you’re one of the crazies brave souls out there this morning on the front lines, best of luck to you. In the meantime, we’ll be checking out a few games, a little Twitterific maybe, and perhaps one of the three thousand to-do applications in the AppStore. Man, developers really think that iPhone owners have a lot to do. Clearly not considering all of the people out there buying iPhone 3Gs today instead of working. Maybe they should crank out a few job search apps…
I’m waiting for the news report of the “some poor chap was robbed of his 3G iPhone on the way home” report. What up PS3
People will get robbed waiting in line!
I’ll take it!
Finally here.
what happen this year, no pictures of people while waiting in line?
Last year I remember that a post was open and pictures were shared ( I sent couple while waiting in NJ).
SO, what happen this year?

twitterific is great. sounds like iTunes is slow this morning but I guess its to be expected.

Can’t wait for the BB Bold to do a comparo!
Cant activate my UK one – iTunes is just kicking me out!!! Telling me to check my connection which is fine!!
I hope people dont get jacked for these like they used to for their Air Jordans and Starter Jackets back in the day. Ha Ha remember that!?
I’m watching all this closely. I think I’ll wait till after the contest to buy mine.
Who knew, the Boy Genius rocks again. Looking forward to the win : )
Yeah well atleast you guys have the option to buy an iPhone. Where I live has no AT&T service. And it’s killing me!!!!!!
You would think that they would have planned for this!!
I’m waiting for the news to start reporting on the problems that everyone begins to incur… That’s always fun. LOL
I deserve one because I am truly a nice guy. Ask anybody. Really!
Comment!
I’ll take a freebie phone.
I want one
I’ve only had Nokia’s. I’d love to beat up on another device.
I really could use one!
Let the games begin!
Here’s hoping MobileMe wasn’t the one that corrupted my Outlook contacts, because that’s the only thing that’s stopping me right now. I’m in for the drawing.
what do you mean by corrupting your contacts on Outlook??
