    WOW. These lines remind me of when the Zune and Vista were released.

    If waiting in line for an iPhone is wasted time for you, then DON'T DO IT. Some people enjoy the change, the drama, the excitement. Maybe for them it is not wasted time. Now, I'm not a tech toy line waiter and I understand there isn't really any reason to wait for this product, but if people get some charge out of this-- I think it is fine.



    I waited in line 12 hours to see Star Wars Episode 1. The movie would be showing for months and I would see it again later with no wait, but looking back on it, the time spent in line was far and away the most memorable and enjoyable part of the whole movie. I met interesting people had stimulating conversation and overall thoroughly enjoyed it. My employees came to visit me in line and even my wife (girlfriend at the time) delivered pizza to the circus though she had no concept of why I was there.



    Haha, yeah I wouldn't wait in line, but I could see how it might be fun.

    I've never waited in such a long line for something and may never do so, but I think it'd be cool to do it once. I'm not even sure what product would get me that motivated. I do think it would be a unique and interesting experience, though.

    They need to send Triumph to one of these iPhone lines.

    Wiis are still hard to get. My Best Buy has a placard explaining what phone number to call to check where there are Wiis. Now the other systems are readily available, I bought out with a PS3 without trouble last week.

    Women will get in line for other things, though my sister would have been in line for iPhone if she had the money.

    I saw on the local news how the mayor was in line, and some lady came up to him and was really angry. She said something to the effect of he shouldn't be wasting his time in line and taxpayers were not going to be happy, etc. THEN... she said that he was the mayor and shouldn't have to wait in line to get it. Because  cares SO much about who you are when you buy their product. They definitely would keep an iPhone aside for a MAYOR!
