Comments on Robert Scoble's "Waiting in line for iPhones is glorious"

Was there ever a supply issue last year? I thought after the lines died down people just walked in and out with a phone.

Apple better hope that the lines are not long this year, because they won't be moving as fast as an Apple employee swiping a credit card and giving you a phone. In-store activation is going to slow things down ten-fold.

Lines will not be as long because the 3G iPhone AT&T plans are too expensive and the cost of the phones are too high for people who do not qualify for an upgrade.

There are more details on my site here:
