Finding an Iphone 3G
It is a feat to pull off. At least in the Tampa area.
I convinced my wife to switch to the Iphone. So, when I decide I wanted to go out and find one, I find that nobody has one. The two Apple stores in the area are both out. And I called one of the AT&T stores to find out that all of their stores in the Tampa area are completely out and it may be a week or more until they get new inventory.
In a word: WOW!
The demand for this phone is really amazing. At the same time, I can't help but wonder if Apple might be throttling their inventory just a little to keep a perceived shortage. After all, if you hear of a shortage, you immediately think everybody else wants the phone. And that makes you want it even more.
Smart, Apple. Smart.

There's still *lines* of people at many Apple stores. So, at the end of the day - the demand is real.
(I'm gonna call around Phoenix area today - I have a $300 gift card - I wanna get that 16g.)
Peace,
