So this past Friday I woke up around 6am, and headed down to the local AT&T Corp store in my area. When I got there, I could not believe it, there were about 200 people there! I was for sure this store would have little to no people there, as really. . .who would of thought. this is the 2nd launch, not the first!

So unlike most of the nerdsphere out there, I held out on getting an iPhone 1st gen, as I have ALWAYS waited until 2nd gen to buy Apple products (I have been burned way to many times, 1.0 BETA hardware and such) So are you getting one? Are you an iPhone virgin like myself? Seriously, are you going to wait in a big ass line to get one?

Everyone’s favorite OSX Twitter client is coming to the new iPhone, it even won a design award at this years WWDC!! Personally this will just make my day so happy, as I am a Twitter addict!
Got word of this from a couple of site out there, see here, here, and here.
Its a shame this was not polished or finished, or else we could of knocked off another square on our WWDC Keynote BINGO cards.

Overall I am excited, maybe this will give them the edge they need to muscle into the very competitive laptop sector…and who knows, since Apple likes to use their video chipsets in their products, maybe we will see this in an iMac or Macbook. I would LOVE to drive 4 Cinema Displays with a tiny lappy.
