Apple's iPhone: Bumpy Start
I must confess that I just don’t get it. I am not a person that has to be the first to have the newest gadget, especially when it comes to the latest technology. Give it time. Let them work out the kinks.
Long lines were the order of the day for those wanting to be the first to get their iPhones.
Some people even got creative in their quest to be first in line.
One consequence that should have been anticipated was that iPhone buyers were unable to activate their phones as Apples online iTunes store was swamped.
Customers were told to go home and activate their phones by connecting them to their own home computers. The media is loaded with horror stories on this information meltdown.
Here are some links to articles just to give you a flavor of what happened today:
