A Day of Disney/Pixar and Apple
Well yesterday I attended two of Steve Jobs' product launches. Ratatouille and the IPhone. What can I say but well done.
The movie was very entertaining and the IPhone is a work of art. You don't understand the beauty of the product engineering until you get it in your hand or take it apart as some people have already done.
As far as the IPhone, I didn't wait outside in the elements for four days like some people did, I went to the Mall about two hours beforehand. As far a product launches go, a big Kudos goes to Apple, the experience went smoothly. The Apple employees were well organized and everyone was civil, imagine that!
On another note, let's hand it to Apple as they kept everyone in the dark as to the actually quantities of product. Sorry to everyone looking to sell yours on EBay. It seems that after all the waiting, every store still has plenty to spare. Anyway, it is just another two hours of my life standing on a line.
So how is the phone you ask, you mean the IPhone? I can't tell you yet. Since Apple has no control of those other mobile phone operators, it is going to take up to 24 hours for me to activate the IPhone (Due to a number port request), the IPhone is useless until it is activated. And on top of it I will probably need to wait another 24 hours after that since I am trying to sign two phones up for the Family Plan. The plans are pretty good, for about $130 I get two phones, 1400 minutes, unlimited internet, and about 200 SMS messages.
My only gripe is that the IPhone should be available for some sort of use while the Phone Activation is completed.
