Pictures from Norfolk, Virginia, at 3 p.m. today.

The Apple store in the MacArthur Center shopping mall is closed.

There were around 60 iPhone fans waiting outside.

If each store has to sell 200 iPhones this weekend…

Wait and see how soon those 200 iPhones are gone here just tonight.

The AT&T store in this mall doesn’t sell the iPhone and the sales force didn’t seem very enthusiastic about the iPhone. They were giving advice to an old lady and the conversation was like this:

“She wants to get one.”

“How old is she?”

“Sixty”

“Don’t buy it.

“Get one of these…”

I asked about the cost of checking emails in Europe: two cents for each kb.

His comments:

“Very expensive.

“And very slow.

“We have better plans here for you.”

So… my guess is that the Appple and AT&T marriage is going to be a rough one.



THE APPLE STORE IS DOWN, SO…

New APPLE products are coming.

Steve Jobs has just ended his presentation at the WWDC unveiling a new version of the company’s Macintosh operating system, set for release in October, and revealed plans for how developers can make programs for its iPhone cellphone.

One of Leopard’s most anticipated new features is Time Machine which automatically makes a backup copy of the data stored on a computer’s hard drive.

And much, much more.
