I subscribe to 8 different technology & web related blogs and I can tell you that 50% or more of the posts in the last 48 hours have been about the iPhone itself, iPhone launch or the Apps Store. And of course, Twitter is flooded with iphone discussions.
As you may have noticed the last couple of posts on LiveCrunch were also about the iphone (including this one). The iPhone was also talked about on the mainstream media multiple times too.
It’s quite mind blowing (and a bit stupid) to have people queuing up infront of the Apple Store and other resellers days before the the launch. I did not personally get dressed and wait infront of any store. However, I did watch the launch at home on multiple coverages/channels including TWiT Live.
So basically everyone who watched the TV or read the newspaper knows about the iphone. That’s quite amazing right?
Now compare the iPhone launch with the Microsoft Zune (if you know what it is).

I new that this time around was going to be more of the same. Huge line, no service, no inventory, horrible customer service, etc…AT&T couldn’t get it right the first time, what makes you think they would get it right the second time around ? I think if you never had an iPhone maybe go through the trouble, but if you already have one, why go through the headache for another one. Makes no sense. Apple always launches news products with very low inventory to create excitement and demand. I did it once with the mini me, and never again. I can wait, if I really want an Apple Anything.
