Biggest Line Ever at SF Apple Store

Just a quick note from my commute: the line at the flagship Apple Store in San Francisco’s Union Square is stunningly huge, spanning the enter length and width of the block, and then wrapping around the corner for who knows how far long.

This is subjective, but this line is dwarfing what I saw for the iPhone 3G launch, which was by far the biggest previously. If Apple has supply, they’re going to sell two million phones this weekend alone…

Lmao. I love how Moto bragged about selling 2,000,000 Droid handsets in a quarter of a year. Apple looks to eclipse that in a single day. Eat it, Apple haters. Sidenote: My phone came in yesterday. It’s easily one of the most perfectly aesthetically designed devices I’ve ever seen.

Right. But, then again you can make calls with the Droid, and…actually hold it in your hands without signal degradation. A weird concept, I know. I was going to go out this morning to get the iphone 4, but after the signal problems, yellowing, and possible “structural integrity” issues. I’d have to hold off and see. Besides, it’s not about number of sales for a phone (unless you work for Apple or a shareholder), it’ what you get with the product, right? Just comparing Specs on Droid X and iPhone 4….Droid X wins this round. Which is unfortunate, because I own quite a bit of Apple products, and this kind of underwhelmed me…

Jae, you must be a busy little drone today. You know, with having to be a hater at so many different sites running iPhone stories.

LMAO, you’re obviously just a spec-whore, and a very bad troll.

@Jae and the Droid X is specced better than an A4 processor and 512MB of RAM how?
And how’s the software for your FaceTime phone calls working out for you?
and the dust getting in your battery cover and microSD card slot, and your ability to update your system OS and ability to recover your data from your PC if your phone is lost or damaged?
Oh and yes, when you lose your phone, how will you be able to find it?
Lame…
