The iPhone Wait

by

The wait for the iPhone is almost over, and fans are beginning to congregate at Apple and AT&T stores. The line here at the Apple Store Clarendon began at 8:15pm last night and has grown to a couple hundred people.

I got here at around 12pm today after an anxious work-morning (I didn't get too much done). Just a few minutes ago, Apple closed the store and began preparing for what is sure to be a fun night.

Apple has also been aware of the crowd, and has graced us with bottled water (which may be a moot gesture, as it has started to rain).

We have heard that the iPhones have indeed arrived under armed guard (as rumored). All in all, the excitement is building towards when we will get our first iPhones.
