As most of you know, I work at the Apple Store at the South Shore Plaza. Last Friday was the launch of the much heralded iPhone and the store was nuts. I only got to get my hands on one for about 20 minutes before we opened, but what a great first impression I got. After playing with it since then, I would strongly recommend going out and picking one up if you have the $499 to drop on it. It is absolutely worth it. And don't bother asking me if I can get you a discount because I don't even get one myself. I am editing together a video of the launch and it should be up on my site in about 2 weeks. Look for it.
