We thought it was a little strange that the first person in the AT&T iPhone line didn’t know anything about the iPhone, but we’re glad to hear that it’s not widespread. You see, the people who camped at an Apple store-proper? They know about the iPhone. See as they nail just about all the questions…
Here’s how to filter out all the iPhone posts from Gizmodo. [Gizmodo]
Packer doesn’t have the money to pay for an iPhone, and they might not let him in with a sponsor to buy one. Stupid, sweaty Packer!
As you might have caught on our live camera, the store is closed to set up for the demo. Here are some shots of the scene, as it stands.
An advertising agent out of Brazil is the master craftsman behind these awesome miniature motorcycles. Assembled from watch parts and bits of other accessories such as eyeglasses, these motorcycles challenge the ideas of identity and representation, while putting us in the mood to BS about philosophy instead of just calling them “neat”. These motocycles aren’t…
As Zero Hour approaches, the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in NYC is now being prepared for the debut of the first iPhones. Check it out. You can even see them sitting there on the tables.
Second in line in SF’s Apple Store, Mark wants $1500, no less, for his spot in line. This is not an Apple Fan. choice quote: “Game recognize Game, Blood!”
Here we have lnelyiphonefan30 wearing denim trousers and a limited-edition Gizmodo iPhone Launch T-Shirt, for a casually aggressive, yet elegantly cheerful look. See how that black cotton follows his fabulous form, and puckers up to his shapely yet firm moobs. Clad in his Giz garment, Lnelyiphonefan30 is a long, cool drink of style. Rowr! https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-limited-edition-iphone-launch-t-shirts-272864

Depending on how you feel about Apple, this iPhone cake may be better than the real thing. Sure, that icing looks like tar coated with airbrushed crude oil, but it’s actually 100% butter cream—better known as the best parts of butter and cream combined into an (ultimate?) frosting suitable for the (ultimate?) phone. Also like…
How many Steve Jobses are there? According to this iPhone-waiting gang amusing all in line at the 5th Avenue Apple Store in New York City, Steve Jobs appears in many forms. As promised, here’s video of the parade of strangeness. They’re all members of Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (UCB), an NYC improv group that puts…
The moment of truth approaches on the East Coast and shadows lengthen all across America as the lines forming to get an iPhone lengthen at the same time. We’ve seen lazy-ass rentacops on Segways telling people they can’t sit, a Santa Monica newsbabe caked with makeup, and even the Philly mayor getting in on the…
Click to viewWe’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…
A group of Steve Jobs’ just walked down the line and tried to get into the store to “check on their iPhones.” Apparently the Steves didn’t let security know about their visit ahead of time, as they were cruelly denied access at the door. Don’t they know who runs this company?! Stay tuned for video,…

Are you just satisfying your voyeuristic urges now, peeping at the weirdos in line, while you silently hold out for revision 2 or 3? Let us know. Your opinion matters to us. This call may be recorded for quality…
Click to viewAllegedly, this is the dude who tried to snag the mic/iPhone out of a reporter’s hand live on Fox News. Looks like the cops got their man up here at the Midtown Apple store. When will you people learn: stupid publicity stunts don’t pay. Also, don’t return to the scene of the crime,…
The Wi-Fi Alliance has passed their first two draft 2.0 applicants in the never-ending race to full 802.11n certification. The D-Link Xtreme N Router and Xtreme N Notebook Adapter both passed the Alliance’s testing, and now tower over their wireless kingdom, mocking all of the 1.0-certified brethren with full 2.0 certification. And 2.0 matters to…

When finding yourself bored while spending a day on sunny Lake Washington, what’s a man to do? Fish, waterski, drink a brewski…maybe stalk a little Bill Gates? That’s exactly what one reader did who was nice enough to send us his pictures. At 50,000 square feet of occupancy, Gates’ home and land pull in a…
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. [iPhone SF Campout Live Video by Justin.TV and Giz] https://gizmodo.com/sf-iphone-line-is-a-friggin-circus-p-s-were-live-273439
