The launch of the Apple iPhone 3G was today. Yes! The "Jesus Phone" is here! In full disclosure I have to say that I did not get one. I don’t even want one, really! Nobody believes me though. Anyway, I walked past a nearby AT&T store in the afternoon and the line *outside* the store was at least 50 deep. I thought they were giving the damn phones away! It was quite a spectacle. Success, right!? Well, not really. The launch was plagued with all kinds of problems, er errors. You see, Apple and AT&T devised a way to stop people from unlocking the phones. They decided to have people sign up for AT&T phone service right inside the stores! The store employees would type up all of the information and get people up and running in a few minutes. Well, that didn’t work very well. Subscription servers were crippled by the volume of subscriptions and some people waited a couple hours inside the stores during the setup process. Jesus Christ!? Indeed. |
