Everytime I've been to one of these stores, its always been at least a 20 minute wait. do you think that it will be any faster for the iphone launch? I can see a line for current customers who are upgrading, and another for new customers. am I wrong? 🙂
 
I'm planning on about 12 hrs, I'm going to check about 24 hours before and see what the situation looks like.
 
I've camped out for both the 360 and the PS3... The 360 was about 16 hours in December (2nd shipment) and I camped out twice for 2 PS3's, one for 23 hours and one for 29 hours. I guess after all my experience, I would love to camp out for this product too. Camping out is not a waste of time but rather an experience. If you are as excited to get this new piece of hardware from Apple, what a better way to build your hype with plenty of other people in the exact same situation as you? I plan to camp out for about 12-14 hours...
 
Unfortunately, I'm limited by work. I'll be taking a half day Friday though, so I should be in line somewhere by 12:30 at the latest. So...about 5-6 hours I suppose.
 
I am still unsure. I plan on head over to the store at 9-10 AM to see whats going on. If it is dead I will probably head downtown to the 5th ave store and see whats going on there, but for the most part I will stay right around the local att store to see when things pick up. I am anticipating the worst, but I have an instinct that we are all overestimating the crowds who will actually purchase one.
