iPhone Mania Hits Orlando

Not that it isn’t happening everywhere, but here in Orlando, all the talk on Twitter and at watercoolers across the tech community is on the iPhone.
Etan Horowitz, an Orlando Sentinel Tech Blogger has been reporting on the phenomenon all day today, reporting long lines and the sad-but-true reality that Apple did not send enough product on Day 1. This also played into the iTunes store going down for the better part of the day and leaving many with an expensive brick in their pocket.
In Etan’s latest post he reports,
AT&T spokeswoman Gretchen Schultz said that by 3 p.m. nearly all inventory of the iPhone 3G had been purchased at the roughly 30 AT&T stores in Central Florida.
No word on the supply at the area’s two Apple stores, but there are reports that lines are still very long.
Schultz said the AT&T stock of iPhones will be replenished, but she could not say when that would happen. She the stock would definitely be replenished “throughout the week,” but she could not say if any more stock would be arriving over the weekend.
Hopefully there will be better luck tomorrow and the upcoming week. Can Apple meet the demand? Are we ready to have all that data on our cell phones? I sure bet that GripOffs coupon offers look great on the iPhone!
Have a great weekend!
