The Global iPhone Craze!

iphone crowd
So I was sitting here today watch Wimbledon, and specifically watching the Williams' sisters playing the doubles match.

At the end of the match, which the won, I notice in the crowd that EVERYONE has an iPhone, and they are using it to take pictures.

Well, technically, if it's the new iphone, they could very well have been taking video - and then, technically could have been instantly uploading it to YouTube.

And then 2 days ago, I'm walking down Michigan Ave in Chicago past the Apple store. Actually it was the Apple store that stuck out amongst all the other shops.

And why was that - you might ask?

Because it was the only store on Michigan Ave in Chicago that had a line going out the door.

That's right - no other store other than the Apple store had people lined up on the sidewalk waiting to get in!

So these 2 recent events (watching Wimbledon on TV and noticing the line outside the Apple store in Chicago) has me thinking that we are seriously looking at a global phenomena with the iphone.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with the dinasour iphone (1st generation) that I bought like 2 years ago. BUT - I'm confident that I'll have the newest one in hand shortly...

Man, I can't wait to start checking out the quality of videos that thing puts out!
