This morning we had to go buy another copy of OS X Leopard (the original disc got scratched). As we walked closer to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue we was somewhat surprised to see a line of about 50 people waiting in line. The iPhone 3G announcement isn't rumored to happen until June 9th right? Are these people going to wait in line for over 2 weeks or do they know something we don't?
We asked the security guard by the Cube what was going on and he said it was for the iPhone. He wouldn't say if it was for the 3G iPhone or for old iPhone leftover inventory That's all he knew and he very was annoyed at us for asking him about the line. The unexpected line was obviously causing him headaches and we weren't the first people to probe him for iPhone 3G information.
Still confused we walked downstairs and bought a copy of OS X Leopard. Before we left the Apple Store, we asked Jessica, our cashier, if the people outside were waiting for the new 3G iPhone. She cryptically said "They are waiting to buy an iPhone. We will sell them whatever phones we have in stock." She was kind of pissed off too. |
