iPhone 4 customers line up again
This has all happened before, and this will all happen again.When Apple and AT&T made the iPhone 4 available for pre-order, the demand was spectacular. The complete supply sold out within 24 hours. Customers who didn't get in figured they'd buy one from AT&T on the 24th. Wrong.
AT&T had no stock available for walk-in customers. Instead, they announced that they'd sell iPhones to those without reservations today, June 29th. As you might imagine, the 2nd wave of customers have formed lines across the country.
MacRumors has posted some photos of early-morning arrivals in Georgia and New Jersey. If you're in line, send your photos and stories to us via @ask_tuaw on Twitter. We'll pull some for use on the blog. Have fun and good luck!

When we choose the software, we must have a comparison between them because of lots of products emerging into the market with the similar functions.

Yeah, great article. It is very necessary to know about the newly launched products, I had read this whole article. And I think like every time Apple had again done great job. Superb description, i really love this iPhone. The next promotion along with iPhone 4 must be iPhone 4 apps, just googled at random, came out a lot such as Pandora, Loopt, WinX DVD Ripper for Mac(convert DVD to iphone 4) , Real Racing etc.

I know, I know. It's one of, if not THE most advanced smartphone on the market and can do things no other phone can do. And you know what, it's going to be the same damn thing next month when dealers are going to have these coming out of their ears. If I ran Apple I'd jack up the price by 100% to gouge the suckers.. I mean the loyal customers willing to wait in line for hours just to be the first on the block to get one.
Gee, I wonder if posting this on the Apple lover's blog will get me downvoted.
I really wish the apple store didn't allow walk-ins on the 24th. They were taking them in at a 2:1 ratio. It was absurd to wait in line for 6 hours with a pre-order. It nullified any purpose in pre-ordering.
June 29 2010 at 1:47 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI got mine in St Pete, FL. Got to the local store at 7:45 AM, no lines and my order was through by 7:49 AM. Same as for sterling, got a piece of paper and a receipt for $0.00 . Received a call back around 10:00 AM letting me know that they received the phone. It took 15 min to finish the transaction. upgrade from my 2 year old 3G. The new one is really great!

Apparently the UPS truck hadn't showed up yet, but they know how many they are getting so they are reserving units for people. You have to come back and pick it up before the store closes today though. Truck get's their by 2:00. I'm going to make sure I'm there around then, just in case they miscounted. It was painless though.
