You can’t put a price on how cool you feel to be amongst the first people to get the new iPhone 4. Gadget junkies in Burlingame and Palo Alto lined up around the block to jockey for position in the coveted iPhone line. Generally speaking, everyone was pretty laid back, but the difference between Burlingame gadget junkies to the Palo Alto core scenesters was stark.
In Burlingame, most people just brought fold up chairs and blankets and claimed their territory. In Palo Alto, it was an entirely different event. The line was about twice as long with just over 200 people by 1AM. This crowd came prepared with generators, large flat screen TVs, couches tethered Wi-Fi, laptops, and pretty much everything to make a gadget junkie feel right at home.
The new iPhone 4 features a number of several super sleek additions that leverage 3 years of experience making the most revolutionary phone since ever. It includes a new super high resolution screen protected by an ultra durable glass ripped from helicopter windshields. The outer casing is wrapped with a stainless steel band as well. That helps quite a bit for the average user that drops their iPhone 3 times a week. The new iPhone includes multi-touch input, dual microphones, a new front view camera, zoom, and much more.
We just hope it was worth it.
