People already lining up for 3G iPhone?
In what must come as somewhat, yet not completely, surprising news, it seems people are already starting to line up at Apple's flagship 5th Avenue store in New York for the next version of the iPhone -- supposedly being announced on June 9th. According to our friends at Engadget Mobile, the line is already about 60 people deep but some waiting seemed confused as to what they were actually waiting for -- although others did think they were in line for the new iPhone 2.0.Could this line actually be for the latest and greatest version of the iPhone? Or, is this just some tragic case of mis-communication? Maybe they think they can get their hands on one of those iPhone refurbs? Or, perhaps the employees at that particular store are bored and just in the mood to mess with customers?
Whatever the answer, if this is actually an indication of the fervor iPhone 2.0 is going to generate, maybe I should start thinking about when and where to line up so I can get mine?
How about you guys, you going to camp out to be the first on your block to get an iPhone 2.0?

The 3G iPhone has hit U.S. and Canadian shores...or so says a U.S. customs search engine called importgenius.com. They claim to have detected a "huge spike" in imports of a new product by Apple, just as the rumors are heating up.

has the at&t $200 discount for a 2year agreement with the new iPhone been confirmed?
cause if not, i might have to wait in line
It's gotta be fake. I don't see Greg Packer at the front of the line.

But someone did snap a random iPhone photo of a seagull attacking a toddler in Seattle. Both ideas are ridiculous! http://www.iphonesavior.com/2008/05/iphone-hero-sna.html

Better luck next time pal. :)
Did anyone go and check if there is a real queue on 5th ave., or is this just like one of those fake 3g iphone pictures?

Clearly people have really nothing better to do in their lives.
Queueing up at a store 2 weeks in advance for a product that might be launched, is really - I say again - SAD.
I wonder about these people who can spend weeks waiting in line. Must be nice to not have to participate in society or earn a wage to live. Guess the are all unemployed, clearly their time is worth nothing.

Haha my biggest problem is being able to give up my iPhone 1.0 for my old Sony Ericsson (which I loved)... I just use all of the iPhone features too much to give it up... even if it's only for a couple weeks. :-( Dependency on a device is tragic.
