I don’t really understand what is good in standing in long queues, longing to get a product that you’ll be able to buy NORMALLY in just a couple of days:(

I guess we have to give credit to the Apple hype machine. They are really great at making their products look cool.

Props to Apple for getting it done once again. People often don’t realize what a bad position the company was in only ten years ago. They’ve pulled off a pretty impressive turnaround.

Yeah, the thing with Apple is that they made electronic items fashionable again. The rest are just plain geeky or boring.

I’m sure that Apple are planning to take over the mobile phone, just like how they took over the MP3 players world. The new price is actually crazy, I never bought something better then mine which is half the price.

@Joey. Thanks for visiting. Yup, Apple will probably take over that market too… or become a big player.

I bought mine three days after launch quickly and easily when there was nobody in the store. Glad they finally made it to Canada.

Congrats to Apple for the successful hype campaign, shame about the substandard camera, lack of voice dialling + cut & paste + video recording etc.
