‘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.
