AT&T, Apple prepping for iPhone 3G S launch
'Twas the night before iPhone 3G S, and all through the town, not a creature was stirring...
Except for AT&T factory workers. And Apple Store salespeople. And enraptured technophiles with expiring wireless contracts (and still others who refuse to wait until their two years are up).
Yes, the newest iPhone launches today, when some stores will open at 8 a.m. to tend to the inevitable lines of unruly Apple enthusiasts.
An AT&T spokeswoman sent along a video, seen above, that the company put together, showing the packaged iPhones rolling off the assembling line at one of the telecom's distribution centers. For those itching to get your hands on the speedier, video-enabled smartphone, this should whet your appetite.
For those who abstain from biting into the Apple hype, you may freely wince in disgust.

Ever hear of a crossfade when editing audio? This video sure was tough to watch and listen to.

Yerp. Amazed at the feverish hype surrounding this phone, and how much I've bought into it given my generally stalwart resilience to such marketing nonsense. Can't wait for my phone! Santa is real!

The Pre is better

pre is better only if you have less than 8 gb of music, which is only about 80 albums' worth -- not enough space for most mp3 player fans.

the pre IS NOT better. the pre, or should i say IPRE, will go down with the likes of the G1 and whatever sprint or verizon released this year.
