Our intrepid intern Ilya is down at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan shooting live video of people waiting in line. Watch as he watches the folks watching for the iPhone (click “more” below to see the stream).

For our complete coverage, click here. Only a few hours left before this news-cycle hog dissipates and we can all go back to thinking about more important stuff.

    I thought “iPhone Overload” title was going to be about all of us being a bit overloaded with the coverage…(btw, I can’t wait to have one after the bugs are worked out).

    you would think that the folks at techcrunch would have jack bauer type batteries - you know the kind that in 24 hours still are completely charged up :)

    Man, you guys need to stop putting these huge images above your CrunchGear posts. They are such an eye sore to see first thing. What in the world does that picture have to do with an iPhone?

    Hmmmmm. IPHONE will have its surge but be short lived, just like the IPOD will be dead soon. I can download all sorts of software for my windows mobile phone. It integrates with everything I have and will exist in the near future. I as a developer can easily capitalize and make money building applications for it (hmmmmmm sound familiar to why the MAC failed in the first place). Heres a quick question, how many models of phones is the windows mobile OS on and how many models does blackberry have? Hmmm 1 Iphone basically.

    @5 I bet you thought the iPod would be dead years ago. Delusional.

    @6 I saw the feed earlier. There were a good number of them.

    Its a phone and an iPod with a snazzy interface. It also displays webpages that you can barely read and have to fuss around with your finger to see something readable.

    Enough already! How much coverage do we need of this device that every other publication is also drooling over?

    We know what it does. What do people standing in line have anything to do with breaking web 2.0 news?

    Up next on TechCrunch: live coverage of everyone waiting in line to get Britney Spears tickets.

    Interesting that the test pattern has been there a lot longer than the live stream was…a while has been at least 3-4 hours :-)

    For the love of Christ. Enough with the freaking iPhone already! This isn’t a gadget blog!

    Why hasn’t it occurred to anyone that you can buy the thing at any AT&T store?

    Talk about “brand loyalty beyond reason.” It’s amazing…

    out here in LA there isn’t quite the hype there appears to be elsewhere… I saw no lines at any of the 3 Cingular stores I passed by yesterday eve and today at lunch.

    Cnet folks think there’s a rumor Apple paid people off to stand in line to feed the media beast? Doubt it, but conspiracy theorists will love it

    Iphone…Yeah last night I ordered 2 8gig models…
    4-6 weeks to get them from Apple online when I see almost 7000 on Ebay by
    Midnight eastern…Thanks Apple…cancel my order. Apple and ATT blew this one big time…You should have been required to activate the phone in store. What happened to the 2 phone maximum from Apple Stores and 1 per customer from ATT stores??? More fodder for the opportunists and the fools who will spend
    1500 bucks On EBarf to buy one….Madness…Besides there are gonna be issues…
    and what’s this about being on the slower teir of the ATT intrastructure?? I think I’ll wait 6 months and see what happens…remember all the problems with the early ipods??

    Have any blind or visually impaired people tested the iPhone? The American Foundation for the Blind is curious to hear your reactions. Leave us comments at http://www.afb.org/blog.
