Uh Oh for Apple
Well, the big news outlets haven't picked up on it yet but new (and existing) phone activations are completely and totally hosed up. Every store in every country and every user at home is getting the same experience: no go on activation. Apple maybe should have consulted with the guys who put on the Victoria's Secret Superbowl half time runway show about how to handle massive spikes in traffic. Too late...gonna be a lot of unhappy people.
iPhone 3G US Launch Day
The iPhone 3G has launched!!! There are lines of people everywhere waiting to buy their new iPhone. Unfortunately, this time around things are going more slowly. Activation of the phone must occur in the store before leaving so it is taking 10 minutes on the low end and 30 minutes on the high end to get a new phone.
