A week in advance, this is still a bit crazy. The iPhone 3G will be launched on July 11, which is next Friday, but there are already people queuing in front of Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York this Friday. Here are the details:
Because that day is the American Independence Day, the square in front of the store is very lively. There are about 10 people in the queue now. The group at the head of the line set up camp early Friday morning. From the interviews, it seems that their primary goal is not the urgent anticipation of the iPhone itself, but rather to break the "queue world record," and even help the 6-month-old baby in their arms break the "youngest age" queue world record.
