Line Forms for 3G iPhone

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Jul 7, 2008 at 9:40 am

Who are these people eating apples at the Apple Store in the Big Apple? A week before the product is available, a line began forming Friday for the new 3G iPhone at the Apple Store in Manhattan. Who would stand (or sit) in line that long? It’s not so much Apple fanboys. Ten people from the group Waiting For Apples began the line, but after a rainy night, only five are left. Their goal is -get this- to set a record for waiting in line. Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

They probably lost the record of waiting in line to some Japanese otaku waiting for some anime deluxe boxset already.

Or some kids in Alaska waiting 11 days for a Harry Potter book:

So I guess their attempt to set a world record is busted already.

not the world record for waiting in line longest and shortest time lag between purchase and eBay sale?

In England, o2 (the carrier for the iPhone here) started taking pre-orders on their website at 8am today, to be delivered on the 11th. But the website grinded to a halt after an hour due to too much traffic, and was completely sold out after just 6 hours!!

Ehh. Normal iPods have like 160 GB. Why not get one of those and a normal phone?

Just like last time, they’ll wait in line for a week and finally get their phones. But on the day of the release the AT&T store a block away will have no line.

Wouldn’t be worth it to me… even with no line.

why? why people are so gullible to be the first to get hands on first run (likely buggy) electronic items? didnt the XBox 360′s rings of death teach us anything?

They might break the world record if they stay there until next year when iPhone 3.5G launches.
