Two years ago on April 1st, Tidbits put out a story about "Apple's Newly Announced PDA." I bought it hook, line and sinker. My pulse was racing, I was ready to list my Treo on ebay. Then my wife said, "You nerd! It's probably an April Fool's joke." Sure enough it was. Well, I've got that same excitement again. I've been waiting for this kind of a product from Apple since the late 90's! Brandon, I’m with you.

In fact, I may very well be waiting outside for Cingular to open so I can get my very own iPhone. I just hope that my sucky credit rating won't be a problem. I really do want to have my own iPhone.

I don't think I've ever anticipated a product launch quite as much. I'm looking forward to having my hands on an 8GB iPhone at 10 AM on the 29th (or as soon as they'll let me in the door).

I am in Europe so if I get in line on the 28th I will be camping for a good long while. I think I will pass this time.

Otherwise, all I got was audio only too. As for standing in line at the Apple store, don't bother. Jobs has already said that don't plan on buying an iPhone at an Apple store (at least initially). It will be MUCH easier to get one at an ATT/CIngular store as most people will have no idea what the heck it is... :P <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/notes-from-the-d-conferen_b_50089.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/notes-from-the-d-conferen_b_50089.html</a> Piko Yeah, I had to refresh the web page for each ad before they would show.

I have the same versions and watched the video in Safari, perhaps it's a caching issue? Good luck! Hmm. I have the same versions and watched the video in Safari, perhaps it’s a caching issue?
