I lost my iPod charger during my recent vacation, and went to the Apple Store today to get a new one, forgetting that today was D-Day. At 1 PM, there were hundreds of people lined up in the mall. I couldn't get into the store to buy my charger. Meh. I'll buy it tomorrow.
But didn't these freaks line up last year, when the first gen iPhone came out? And didn't Jobs reduce the price by $200 a few months afterwards? I know he gave a $100 rebate to the line sitters, but they were still out $100.
And the AT&T thing really bugs me. I think I'll just wait till I can purchase my provider of choice. If that never happens, there are other, comparable phones out there.
I'm just not willing to pay upwards of $70 a month for a provider that's forced on me, when the majority of people I know use something else.
