| For something that is supposed to revolutionize an entire industry and
dominate it, there were some tepid lines today....i dunno, like a
survey found, it's just way too expensive for most people....
I was at a mall in jersey at about 330 pm, and there were only like 25
people in the apple store and about 10 in the AT&T upstairs...not
exactly "wow" numbers...

Report: IPhones Abundant. Lines Were Pointless.

With less than 12 hours until the vaunted iPhone was to be unleashed
on a waiting world, the sign posted outside the AT&T store on Grand
Avenue Thursday night was more about anticipation than reality.
"iPhone Line Begins Here. Thank You."
Number of people in line as of 9:15 p.m. -- two.

Outside the AT&T store in Birmingham, Justin Dennis, 21, of Bloomfield
Hills showed up at 1 a.m. to be first in line. He didn't need to get
there so early. By 7 a.m., he was ahead of only two others who had
showed up to wait for the new product to go on sale.
Dennis set up his blue canvas folding chair outside the store to mark
his spot and tried to sleep. But eventually, he retired to his pickup
truck for slumber.
"I'm surprised there aren't more people," he said groggily early this
morning.

At 4:45 p.m. at an AT&T store in West Chester Twp., about a dozen
people sat on the sidewalk waiting for the doors to open. An employee
teased the crowd by holding an iPhone up to the window, at which
several people moaned and laughed.
An hour later at an AT&T store off of Fields Ertel Road in Cincinnati,
Brian Macke of Clifton said, "The lines are not as bad as I thought."
He said the wait for the iPhone was much less intense than the wait
for the Xbox 360, for which he "slept in a shopping cart in the snow."

Incidentally, while we were in line, we found out that the Apple
stores in Nova and Maryland had plenty of stock and no lines.
