Ok…Actually, I am Waiting in Line for the iPhone

I got down to University Village today with the intention of stopping by to visit Andru Edwards & Co. in the iPhone line and then being on my merry way. By then, the line at the Apple Store was way too long. I figured I’ll get one sometime next month. And then I saw the line at the AT&T Store.

At the Apple Store, you can buy two iPhones. But at the AT&T store, you can only buy one. So the line is much, much shorter. I’ve been waiting here since about 5:30 and right now I would estimate that there are 30 people between me and my iPhone.

The problem is, they’re only allowing 10 people inside the store at a time. And you have to give them your name and social security number so that you’re pre-approved credit-wise before you can purchase a phone. According to some people who have already been in and out, the system is really slow because everyone on the West Coast is trying to register their phones right now.

I’m in line with a couple of really cool geeky guys and we’re having quite the conversation over just how much fun Steve Jobs is having right now. I’ll bet he’s sitting behind his desk cackling with glee. Or perhaps it’s an evil belly laugh…

Either way, I definitely didn’t plan on doing this today. Now I am. Sue me.
