Austin iPhone Update

posted by pylorns

First off, they had some this morning.  Apparently there were multiple rumors flying around about apple telling stores not to sell anymore because of the itunes server issues.  This morning though, the apple store had some in stock.  The Lakeline mall did not nor did the store near there in Texadelphia.  But, a few scattered AT&T stores near Parmer/35 and also near the domain/arboretum did have some.

One of our readers “superman” went this morning to be number 16 in line at a store and talked to a guy who was 2 away yesturday from getting one and had he arrived 5 minutes sooner he would have got one today.  That has so got to suck to wait for 6 hours and still have nothing to show for it.

As far as my own iphone goes – last night I was able to activate as soon as I got home from work.  iTunes backs up your iphone, syncs of contacts if you have that setup on your apple computer – syncs with mobile me, and then syncs any applications you’ve already downloaded.

One of the cool features (and slightly scary): Sitting on my couch in the corner of my house and then clicking on the maps – finding my location and having the blue dot right on the corner of my house where I am – with the satalite hybrid picture of my roof.  I also like the twitter plug in – it allows you to show pictures really quickly to others.

    I already know the answer, but have to ask ;)

    Are they all sold out in Austin and the party line of 10 day wait until next shipment? Or does someone know a place…

    Thanks.

    Well I went by another ATT store today to pick up a case with a co-worker and they were sold out. No ETA. And checking the apple store:
    iPhone 3G Availability
    Check back tonight after 9:00 p.m. for tomorrow’s availability at this store.

    Check another store
    iPhone 3G will not be in stock at this store tomorrow.
