iPhone: Reporting from...
...Charleston, SC.
Was just out and happened to drive by an AT&T store. The parking lot and entrances to the building's stores are on the rear side of the building, but I noticed a police car stationed at the entrance to the parking area. Upon return I decided to swing into the lot to see if here in little ol' Charleston there was really an officer stationed for this event.
Sure enough, as I entered the lot, there was a line forming (4-5 deep at this point, 9:30 a.m.), an officer stood at the entrance, and stanchions were placed along the sidewalk to define the waiting area.
I have to say I was surprised, but I don't know why. Clearly, this is going to be a very successful launch.
Any other reports out there?

Well, Im in a mall. But at first almost all of the security was watching over us. But after 2 hours (or so... I really can't remember!) we still have about four guards watching over us!
Where are you and how many are in line with you?
We got here bright and early (6:45am) to wait for the highly anticipated release of the Apple iPhone.
There were a couple of people in line already so we are officially #5, #6, #7.

No way..! Somehow I don't think Woz would have to wait in line.
I know Woz and he is in line. I have always heard that he obtains ALL of his Apple gear thru regular retail means so he gets a good feel for what its like to be an Apple customer. He certainly is doing that this morning.

Maybe he's there to show off his Segway? I thought as part of his agreement when he left Apple was that he received one of every new Apple product for life?
To top it all off Woz was in line and he must have gotten up early because he was near the front. I will relieve my son around 5PM. I will update the situation possibly even pics when I get there.
