OMG I hope TC at least gets some funding from Steve Jobs for this lick-a$$ coverage.
WTF Michael aren’t there any real things to right about anymore? I’m switching to Shel Israel if you’re continuing

Hi Shiva,

It was live this morning and is archived now (the store opened at 8 AM PST). I’m sorry about the shaky camera, I was filming from a cell phone.

iPhone 2.0 – People standing in line…

I just got into the office after a meeting in downtown Palo Alto. As I was driving down University Avenue, I could see the very long line outside the Apple Store. People have been waiting here for hours (days?). The…

Wow an iPhone story!! It must be covering something worthy right? after all this is the 10,000th post on TC about the iphone, so it must be worth it right? Let’s look at the facts

- 3g! wow that must be new right? NO… Windows Mobile devices, Blackberrys and Palms have had 3G for YEARS. FAIL.

- GPS! I bet no other phone has GPS right? Windows Mobile devices, Blackberrys and Palms have had GPS for YEARS. FAIL.

- The ability to download and install 3rd party apps, wow no other phone can do that right? WRONG! Windows Mobile devices, Blackberrys and Palms have had the ability to create and get 3rd party apps for YEARS… not only that, you don’t need approval from Microsoft, RIM, or Palm to do so. FAIL.

- Exchange support! Wow no other phone has that right? (Do I even have to explain this one?) FAIL!

I’ve used devices that have done all of these thigs, plus play my media for YEARS. Way to be late to the party Steve.

Oh yeah, and the iphone is no longer the only one that has a full HTML browser..so there is nothing left

And your done…

i guess i am toooooo bored of this iphone stuff and its hyped coverage here. I see that almost all of the last 10 posts at TC are iphone related. I will take a week break from TC, hopefully less iphone coverage by then.

just left the line at westwood village/UCLA at&t store. store rep said only 50 iphone 3G in stock. there was about 100 people in line. i was at around 75. argh. they’re selling out. probably won’t get re-stocked for another week or two.

This is the sole reason apple dropped idea of selling it online. It would miss all the hype and press created by frenzy people who have too much time in hand.iphone is great but not at all revolutionary. Blackberry when it was released first , it was revloutionary. iphone is only for direct consumers, not for business folks.

whats more pathetic is techcrunch posting consecutive posts about iPhone- an insignificant, overhyped, underpowered piece of sh*t. Wow, are you guys in apple’s payroll. all over gadget sites we all see iphone stuff. why dont you work and create news about startups. not iphone, which in itself is crap. you’re excited about iphone apps that have existed years and years ago in other cellphones/smart phones.

wow. seriously this blog is going to the drain.

Argggh.. No connection to iTunes store.. AT&T handed me my iphone and said. We are not doing this for everyone, but go home and activate it yourself.. Sheesh now neither my old phone or new phone work. I hope I have a working phone when apple gets their act together..

Hmm…Apparently I can make an emergency call..

Wonder if that will ring thru to Mr Jobs

Going on one and a half hours trying to buy/activate my iPhone. We are on our second phone. ATT Wireless and Apple appear to have dropped the ball big time. What a joke.
