Videos of the iPhone's Guts, Both Academic and Destructive

The first video includes an iPhone and a Hammer, and speaks for itself.
The Second video shows the iPhone for more academic reasons.Not too surprisingly, the phone has components you've seen in other handsets. More »

iPhone: Entering Kool-aid Central

Picture this. We're heading in to buy our iPhones, and what do we see? A massive wall of Apple employees, clapping and cheering and offering high fives to all. It was a very surreal, and frankly scary experience. Remind us never, never to do that again, even if the Jesus Phone rises a second time.

SF iPhone Store Closes to Much Moaning, Bitching, and Gnashing of Teeth

What are these people angry at? No, it isn't not being able to get an iPhone, it's not being able to get into the Apple store when they closed it down at 2PM to prepare for the 6PM launch. Apparently either some people's watches were a little off, or Apple closed the store down a little early, but they're pissed at not being able to get into the store. That's why we love SF—everyone always has things in perspective.

The First Person in the AT&T iPhone Line Doesn't Know What the Hell She's Waiting For

We're at the AT&T store in SF and quizzing line campers on the iPhone. People who got the questions right get a free limited edition Gizmodo iPhone shirt. Those who don't, get the whole internet laughing at him/her. It's like camping out for a Star Wars movie and not knowing what a Lightsaber is. More »

There are 150 people on line; most of the true iPhone fans are in the back. And the sun is terrible for LCD screens. I'm frying out here.

Hey. I'm back from my nap, and on the line again. And it feels like Summer. People are putting on sunscreen, which is not a typically necessary San Franciscan action. Things are going so well. Except those guys have started up the boomboxes again. I'm wearing one of our Limited Edition iPhone Launch T-Shirts, that we were originally going to give out. But one thing is clear in the daylight, from talking to people. Over half of the front of the line are here as mercenaries, and not iPhone fans. So we're going to quiz people before they get a shirt. Today should be for believers, not businessmen. Click through to http://Justin.tv/gizmodo to chat with other Gizmodo readers, too. More »

Bargain Hunting: What You Could Buy Instead of the iPhone

We went down the iPhone line in NY and asked the campers whether they were aware they could get many other great things for the same price as an iPhone. Hilarity ensued. More »

Catching Up With iPhone Campers at the 5th Avenue Apple Store

The Apple Store has closed its doors, marking the home stretch for the 5th Avenue iPhone hopefuls. The line's swelled to nearly 240 people and has been penned in and condensed to keep the prospective customers from blocking the other storefronts that share a space with the Cube. Even still, it has curled around yet another corner of the building. We've walked up and down the line and found quite a few Gizmodo readers in the mix.

iPhone SF Campout Live (9AM PDT)

The line is coming back to life right now. Stanley Michael Jackson is still in full effect, the Financial Times stopped by with a few questions, and the line is wrapping around the corner of Stockton Street. Today should be even more entertaining. Thankfully, our neighbors from 8 mile who aspire to be rhyming legends have kept the boombox quiet this morning. Though we wouldn't mind some early morning Wu-Tang to get us fired up for the day. Also, many thanks to the Justin.tv viewers for keeping me entertained. We still have a long way to go before we can call it a day and get some real sleep. Mmmmmmm...sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

I need a nap. Adrian the intern is manning our live Justin.TV camera, which has been chronicling the entirety of the SF iPhone campout since 6pm last night. I even had that thing on while I was sleeping. I'll resume the Brian Lam Dog and Pony show sometime later. For now, I ZZZ. Video: [iPhone SF Campout Live Video]

iPhone SF Campout Live (6AM PDT)

I love the smell of iPhone in the morning. I got about 3 hours of sleep. Shook like a leaf when I woke, cold, despite the metallic emergency blanket's insulation. The Justin.tv lifecam is still running and so is my Macbook, thanks to the Wifi (instead of the usual and hungrier EVDO.) But i've got about 20 minutes left on each, and my brain can't quite get the words together. More »

SF Headcount is 63. If you want to get an iPhone today in SF, I don't think it'll be a problem. Yet.

All is well, although my meager facilities responsible for writing well are almost entirely gone. I slept an hour tucked in between a phone booth and a light post. Street cleaning came rumbling by and almost clipped a camper's leg off as it rumbled down Stockton street.

Just spoke with some Apple engineers. Good guys. Thanked them for giving us an alternative to Windows Mobile (The Phone OS that makes me want to vomit.) A lot of people here are definitely here to sell iPhones. Whoa, intersting — down in Palo Alto, Justin.tv's intern almost got jumped defending his spot in line. Good God!
