iPhone Unlocked

When I drove by the Apple Store in Seattle at ~8:30pm tonight, the crowds were largely gone, and there were plenty of idle Apple employees lined up inside the door, waiting to help the next customer to walk by. The scene didn’t suggest to me that they had sold out of iPhones. I assume there were still plenty of iPhones in stock.

When I got home, I checked e-bay, and found that people were bidding up iPhone auctions to nearly $1,000, if not more.

It’s now after midnight, which means the Apple Store just closed. I wonder if I should have hurried back to the store to buy a phone or two and list them on eBay, rather than work on setting this blog. I might have easily pocketed $800 or more. Of course, I might also have been stuck with an iPhone of my own. Wouldn’t that have sucked.
