There are approximately 552 applications that made the iPhone App Store launch. There are seven tip calculators, three flashlight applications, nine Bible-related entries, two Zen garden applications, five blackjack games, and almost 10 percent of the entries are ebooks. There is an application to simulate the playing of a tiny violin to console your friends, a Light Saber emulator, an application that gives you a cartoon eye, and two applications that simulate the look of a beer mug. We have surely come into a new age of computing.

I reiterated by asking if they are opening at 9 tomorrow or will they open early. He then said around 8.
Funny thing was that earlier today on the door of the store they had a sign that said they were open tomorrow 9-6 while their normal hours are 9-8 on Friday. Then they took it off. Does this store not want business?

I got to work at 7:30 and can see the AT&T store next to my building. That thing had a nice sized line. Probably about 50. They were interviewing the people in front. Some cute chicks actually. The staff was already there but I didn't see customers inside. Methinks they opened at 8 although not advertised as it was classified info.

I played with it briefly at the store. At first glance other than size it's pretty much the same as the 1st gen. The internet was pretty quick but I'm not sure what network I was on.

....arent they having world wide server problems right now with the update for the 1st gen and the initial activation of the new ones? On the yahoo main page there is an article:

I just read part of it, but it looks like someone goofed this launch up big time... IMVHO...

people don't realize how versatile this phone is. No one is developing apps at this rate for any other phone. Yeah I am a cultist and what?!

I got mine this am and thankfully it only took me 30 min to activate when I got home! 
I love it...I'm so glad I decided to upgrade!
My only regret is I didn't get the amount I hear people are selling their 1st gen iPhones for.
