While Brian wishes he brought his Magnum revolver to the San Francisco Apple Store waiting line, not far from there other people are hanging around in a more luxurious and definitely cleaner environment.

These people are waiting outside the Apple Store at the Irvine Spectrum. And one of them even bought a huge air mattress to sleep comfortably. I can even see a guy selling lattes around from here.
Are you waiting somewhere else? Any stories to tell? Don't forget to send us your images and comments here.

This is a cell phone. It doesn't end with $600. This is not a playstation 3. The charges keep coming to a total of anywhere from $2000-3000 over the next two years depending on the plan you choose. Yes, this is probably in the range of what smartphone users pay, but I doubt that Crackberries will drop their crack and switch over immediately. So who's left to be targetted—people who have never had smart phones or those who really hate their smart phones really-really bad. And keep in mind that this selection gets further narrowed when we take into account whether or not people will want to spend and additional $200 to break their current contracts, unless they are with AT&tingular.
In all honesty, the iphone really delivers. And I think it'll be a true revolution, but not as fast as we are thinking. Yea, the hype is over-rated. There are only 165 or so apple stores, and the crazy people are lined up as expected; NY and LA (no offense:) I'm crazy too but don't live there)
