Why 6:00 PM? When they sell iPhones, they start in the morning and the store is filled to the max all day long. Are they just wanting to keep people in line longer? I don't buy the 6:00 PM bit.
PS: I bet the free gift is a touch enabled magic mousepad (Or a code to download a free move)
Wasn't the reasoning behind the G1 iPhone going on sale at 6pm because you could pop in after work, and not have wasted your whole morning waiting in line?
iPad, iPad, iPad... i don't need this toy! I need a new MBP! Damn!![]()
Can decide whether to get one, have been laughing at all the jokes though...

This makes me doubt the report. My boyfriend worked in sales at an Apple store for over a year, and the only advance training he received for any new product was the new in-store activation process (scanning IMEIs, porting numbers, running credit checks, etc) for the iPhone 3G... which did not involve seeing or touching an actual iPhone 3G until he sold his first one the morning of 3G-Day. The notion of advance units arriving in Apple stores more than two weeks before they go on sale (giving ample opportunity to be photographed, smuggled out for the night, quietly shown to friends and persistent customers, etc.) is almost laughable.
The excitement is mounting... I can't wait to get mine. I need to make a decision on the wifi-only vs. 3G version! Since I already have a MBP and an iPhone, I don't believe I would use this device outside of my home network. But then again...
March 26? This is old news! I nailed the date way back on January 18, seven days before Apple's press shindig. I didn't get everything right, but I came closer than a lot of folks:
Name - Wrong!
Price points - Not really that far off... most were expecting $999. Close enough to be counted as correct!
GUI - It's not just a "big iPhone" and it is a very cool GUI so, check!
WiFi - Easy one... check!
Bluetooth - Easy one... check!
Built-in cellular data: Optional - BINGO!!
Ability to tether to iPhone - A big wish of mine but wrong!
Ship date: BINGO!
So, I give myself 6 out of 8!

Special gift? I gotta admit, I'm really wondering what it is. $100 iTunes gift cards? I'd settle for a shirt.
GUI - It's not just a "big iPhone" and it is a very cool GUI so, check!
IF I was to get one of these (which I am not), I would probably go with the 3G. Not that I would use the 3G right now, but you never know in the future.
i won't be standing in line to buy one, but i do want to play with it
