too bad nobody died

we waited 40 minutes for 4 blocks length and there was still plenty of iPhone action at 5th ave. A friend of mine also went to Soho at 7pm and waited for three minutes, so there is still plenty to have.

Forget the iPhone, what I'm waiting for is the sixth-generation (6G) iPod which will probably adopt the large display, improved GUI and maybe wifi.

Maybe in 2-3 years when the 3G iPhone is released with a 32GB SSD and is available with Verizon, I'll bite.

maybe when the 4g phone is released with pair of testicles...

of course they're still available - it will be the only product apple ever overstocks/overproduces, this way they can bilk you lemmings on a monthly basis.

the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing you he didn't exist...jobs had you all fooled about gates.

Anyone know the program that Gothamist used for the slideshow? Thanks.

this is bad comedy.

you all are just as pathetic for wasting your time writing "pathetic" and "zombies"...get over yourselves

Well, if someone chooses to get on line, that's up to them.

I'm not about to get one but it is an interesting design. I might think about it when Ver 2.00 comes out with better connectivity features.

i understand that companies want the free publicity of handing stuff out to people on line, but really. do people who are spending $600 on a gadget need free water and socks? there were probably homeless people picking food out of garbage cans within blocks of this madhouse. if only corporations saw as much good pr in doing good as they did in stunts like giving free coffee to dorks who can take off time from work to buy an expensive toy.

^ yeah totally, they should hand out free iPhones to bums. Anway I'm going to wait for their next revisions before dropping money on one like I have with my electronic gadgets.

The biggest problem with cell phones in this country, other than the assholes who use them when they shouldn't and of course talk too loud, is that you are locked into a phone/service provider and most of them tend to cripple the bloody things. You should have any cellphone on any network you want and should be able to transfer from provider to provider.

The biggest drawback with the iPhone is that it is on the AT&T (nee. Cingular) network.

people waited in line for 5 days and it didn't even sell out. hehehe. they must feel stupid.

People are really into iPhone. Even my friends are talking about it since it was said through news. New technology, New Style. A great thing to have.

Cow-Bell Man making an appearance somewhere other than Shea Stadium (in picture #3 of the slideshow)? CRAZY!

Why do people want iPhones so badly? I am mystified.

Pretty soon, another pretty new shiny gadget will come strut their stuff and make everyone scream for it again. This is, after all, the Technology Age...it's nothing new. I don't know why the media has go to bonkers for this stuff. There's more important stuff to cover than iPhones, *sigh*.

And good luck with the AT&T service, *evil laugh*.
