The best application of the iPhone I have seen so far was on willitblend.com ;-)

Hey Matt,

Apple just announced that there are only two Apple phones per customer. How will you handle this?

Robert,

I followed your example and my two oldest daughters just had to be a part of mobile device history so now we are here first in line at our local AT&T store in Puyallup, WA huddled under umbrellas in the rain. They are 13 and 11 and so now we get to buy 3 iPhones for the family.

Have a fun and safe night and enjoy your iPhone!

Can't wait to see your review of it, Robert.

Oh, btw, not sure if you've been following ZDNet's blogger coverage of the iPhone-its been a bit controversial, given the negative aspects they have focused on. Now that Kingsley Hughes dude has resorted to moving from critizing the PRODUCT (iPhone), which is legitimate, to attacking anyone interested in buying the iPhone as "Stupid" (The "Stupid Rich").

So ZDNet has resorted to attacking users and potential users of a product thru name calling, rather than just reviewing/criticizing a product. Very classy!

(Note that he doesn't have an iPhone yet of course)

Best of luck to you and Patrick. I look forward to reading a comparison between iPhone and your Nokia-95 that you have been carrying around. Hope it measures up to its label: God Phone.

I stopped by to visit with Greg Packer, the first guy in line here in New York and got a video clip of him. You can watch it here http://kamlabhattshow.com/b...

So are you talent or are you tech. Talent puts you in my union AFRTA, if you opt for tech you could be NABET or CWA. Either way with the amount of air you are hogging, being an AFTRA member would get you talent fees everytime they talked to you. Nabet and CWA you just have to look like you'd break legs. (old joke no offense meant I have worked with both unions)

The reviews: Mossberg gushes the headline is the Iphone is a breakthrough handheld computer.

Steve Levy turned WTOP's news-talk fm here in DC sort of a brownish hue, talking about how great it is.

I've met Walt and I do trust what he wrote. And by the way he has the 1st video on the allthingsd site.

Yeah got to buy some APPL before it becomes too pricey, this is going to print money for Apple.

FYI: AT and T is sponsoring the ATT National with Tiger Woods down the road from where I live at the Congressional Country Club in Potomac, I got a PR release yesterday that talks about the PDA device they will give to fans who ask for it to check the PGA tour website for the scores and the IBM shot link information. ( Palm did this when they were a company) And they also will have a broadband app that will allow you to enter into the the AT and T blue room. And by the way Verizon has the area wired for high speed TV and Internet via fiber.

I'll watch after The Office. :) Have fun, wish I could get an iPhone here in MI, but I can't.

They stopped having tables

I'm kind of jealous. Yet I don't have the money for a $500 phone nor do I want to switch to ATT. ;)

Robert, didn't you take issue with the touch screen on the iPhone because you wouldn't be able to use it under the table at meetings? Did you stop having meetings or something?

Well at least you finally realize it: "We’re still the first two idiots in line."

Robert - nice reporting. Well done. And, Patrick is an impressive communicator. Clearly taking queues from Dad. I'll be heading to an AT&T store in Issaquah tomorrow. A little sad that I can only buy one. I had plan to pick up about five for various folks at WhatCounts and Eyejot. Might have to make another trip to the Bellevue Square Apple store Saturday... if they have any left. BTW - give this a try: http://alpha.eyejot.com/mic... (requires Safari 3). Hopefully it will work on the real device. I know the iPhone can't record video (for now; easily changed with a software update). I just hope it can play embedded Quicktime! See you at Gnomedex!

Here's a ditty to sing along all night long.

We've Got to Have iPhones Today

by Tony Bove
(Set to the tune "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" with apologies to Lennon and McCartney)

Here I stand, head in hand
Turn my face to the door
If it's gone I can't move on
From the line at the Apple Store...

See "A Song for the Apple Store Line" for the rest.

Cool stuff, Robert. I drove by the store :) - looks like Patrick is having fun.

First in line... you gotta buy the really big ones. It looks like they only have two!

Where's the power inverter for the car? Just put the laptop in there for a bit while it charges both batteries and call it good. Oh, and make sure the car is within sight so you don't go to get the laptop and find a broken window instead.

Nice to see you on Palo Alto Online and on Fake Steve. Love your photo. Now that's another thing we have in common: we've both been photographed by Norbert von den Groeben:

I'm in the second lane from bottom with white cap with red "S."

Have fun! (I'm sure you are).

Not having a removable battery isn't a big deal.

I could get another battery for my treo, but I haven't. And I'd probably get a new phone before the battery needs to be replaced.

Not having a slot for an SD card is a bigger issue.

Re: First in line

Jonathan — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:43:05 -0000

Are you going to try and buy your iPhone on your corporate account and then be pissed when you can't.
How does you waiting in line coincide with the earlier reviews of the Nokia phone you raved about and thought it blew away the iPhone?
Confused here

You're also on Fake Steve, for better or worse.
