Why I’m Not in Line for the iPhone

I’ve slept in line for a good many things I really, really wanted: tickets to Star Trek: Generations for example. But I decided that perhaps I would skip the madness and mayhem surrounding the iPhone.

Why? Because I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to get one relatively soon regardless of whether I sleep in line. It seems like despite the hype, Apple has stepped up to meet demand for this thing. This isn’t like the Nintendo Wii, where the company didn’t understand the demand for the product until long after it was too late. Apple knows this is a hot item and they’re not going to let it die on the vine by keeping people waiting.

I could be wrong, but I’ll swing by the Apple Store at University Village this afternoon to say hello to my good friends Andru Edwards and Nate True of GearLive Media. I won’t be cutting in line of course. I’ll actually be there to take my girlfriend Megan to a pedicure and lunch for her birthday. But I will check out the situation and report back. And of course, I’ll give Andru a big hero hug. Cuz he’s my hero.
