MASS COMMUNICATIONS 3G iPhone AHH! The new iPhone was released today and thus far it's been total chaos. We just walked by our neighborhood AT&T store, and the line of people waiting to purchase the new gadget is still out the door. "At least a 45 minute wait," someone at the end of the line told us. The reason? The sheer number of people, partly, but also because technicians are having difficulty activating the damn thing.. (The old iPhone could be activated at home.) "A spokesman for AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., said there was a global problem with Apple Inc.'s iTunes software that prevented the phones from being fully activated in-store," says the Post.
