Here's a little slide show I prepared from outside the Apple Store in Roseville, MN this morning. It features an audio interview with Taylor Carrigan, a 16 year-old from Woodbury who was fourth in line for the new 3G iPhone.

Meanwhile, I'll be on MPR's All Things Considered with Tom Crann tonight, talking about the all the iPhone activation troubles that ensued. Meanwhile, Julio Ojeda-Zapata has a good roundup of today's "iApocalypse" as Gizmodo called it.

John Hill of Hugo, MN and Eric Swanson of White Bear Lake, MN arrived at the Apple Store in Roseville, MN at 2:00 am today. They camped outside the Rosedale Mall until 5 :00 when the doors opened up. As I write this, about 150 people fanatics are in the queue.
