Barron's Tech Trader Daily sent a reporter to stand in line for the new iPhone G3 and posted this initial entry:
"Barron’s Magazine gadget reporter Jay Palmer tells me he’s 14th in line to buy Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 3G at the Apple store in Bridgewater Commons mall in central New Jersey, with about 100 people behind him..."
Later, they write:
"Update: Jay is leaving the Apple store, fuming mad. He says that after waiting for three hours, he’s been told he’s ineligible for a phone because of the 10% corporate discount he enjoys on his AT&T plan through Dow Jones, part of News Corp. (NWS) and publisher of this blog. Well, if you have some kind of corporate plan, you may experience some issues with your purchase, I guess. More on this once the smoke stops coming out of Jay’s ears."
Here are some of the better comments:
With all do respect, Jay needs to understand that it has been stated on the Apple website and other sources that corporate/business customers need to go to an AT&T store and not to an Apple store.

Yup, Jay didn’t do his homework. He didn’t watch the AT&T video, or read the Apple or AT&T webpages on what to do to avoid exactly what happened to him.
Do reporters actually do any work?

What a retard. Sounds like someone should have done their research before camping out like a loser in front a store to be one of the first to get an iPhone. If it was that big of a deal he would have purchased it without the discount. Schmuck.

iphone? wireless? internet?
I still use my rotary dial Mickey Mouse phone. The ringer is even adjustable.

Can the iphone be used to call up people or is it just a walkie talkie?
