Video of the Day: iPhone's Invasion

While we're still iPhone-less (AT&T Activation has been screwing up about 38% of the purchases), we're not above recalling the frenzy from Friday night. Gothamist went out with vdeographer Kelly Loudenberg to check out the line, chat with some of the people (dog Beta and his owner Dan, Kensu who is blogging at The Story Gets Deeper, and others), and marvel at the madhouse. The NY Times' David Pogue gave us his impression of the crowd, too.

And CNet has this list of the top 10 tech product launches before the iPhone - it's not a great list (why is Gizmondo there?).

The biggest flaw of the iPhone is that you have to get service with one of the worst cell phone providers out there.

That first guy needs to go outside more, and not for new gadgets.....and a phone that actuallly works? what is wrong with the hundreds of other phones you have been using for years?

the guy who said he can't get T-Mobile service in his apartment, what makes you think AT&T will be even better?

Dudes, I can't even imagine.

I felt so sorry for the guy who was accused of not being in line. He looked like such a wimp!

david pogue is awesome.
