Today at exactly 8:00 in the morning, Apple opens the door to accept their orders of the new iPhone 3G. Similar to the commotion of the last iPhone, crows have lined up heavily last night to claim their spot in front of Apple and AT&T stores. People who were skeptical to purchase about the first iPhone a year ago, are now lined up, waiting for the new and improved iPhone 3G. The “launch” of the new iPhone doesn’t end there, in various places like YouTube & Flickr, owners of the new iPhone post up pictures, videos, reviews and most importantly their “love”.
