Where were you for the "iPocalypse?"
Thankfully I had to be in the office at 7 am in the morning today. So missed out on all the camping and waiting in line in front of Apple Stores and AT&T shops. That's avery good thing. All the hype surrounding the new Apple iPhone 3G has died.
It's dead bro, the brillaint Marketing Hype that welcomed the new phone is gone. All those great fuzzy feelings connected with the product evaporared when the most, loyal, the most patient, the most unemployed were faced with a nightmarish senario. Having their working iPhone Disabled by an Apple or AT&T employee, to activate their new shinny iPhone 3G. Well this did not happen. Most new iPhone 3G buyers were sent home with in active phone. Some were caught in the nightmare of having two deactivated phones. If AT&T is your only mobile provider, then those folks are stuck with no phone at all.
GG Apple!
The gadget blog Gizmodo christened the problems the "iPocalypse", while the Information Week columnist Mitch Wagner said Apple had compounded problems through "negligence and failure to anticipate demand"
Read this article for the full impact. INFOWorld Activation Blues. Thankfully I have 5 more hours here in the office and I have a Verizon BlackBerry. So I will be immune to all this nonsense.
Look for my iPhone 3G review Tomorrow.
