Well, it’s the day after the Apple iPhone launch day and we hope you enjoyed our live streaming webcast of the launch activities from the Apple Store at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California. We were having some technical difficulties that took down our broadcast intermittently, and we were not able to upload videos to YouTube like we had anticipated. Regardless, we took plenty of video footage of the launch-day craziness and we have them for you now! Check our YouTube for our video coverage of the Apple iPhone launch. We’ve embedded some of those videos here.
Check out Into iPhone’s coverage of the launch day activities for FOX 11 News in Los Angeles! That’s right, we covered the launch for the press!
Quick recap:
Waiting through the night was fairly eventful – lots of “vagrants,” police, drinking, concerts, games, friendly banter, and kickball!
Waiting through the launch-day morning sucked. So sleepy. So bored.

Lack of sleep caught up with us through midday. Food helped a little. So did all the eye candy.
And then we got interviewed by the FOX 11 Morning News – with Amy Murphy!
The last few hours were excruciating! What does a mixture of exhaustion and eager anticipation feel like? A hangover supplemented by a shot of adrenaline – in other words, it felt like crap.
The closing of the Apple Store was quite exciting! The blacking out of the windows was a nice touch.
We got a boost of energy as the line started to inch forward – everybody was just packing closer together, we weren’t going anywhere (kind of like that car that inches forward at a red light – even though it’s still red).
Opening of the Apple Store was like celebrating New Years Eve – with countdown and all!
Entering the Apple Store made us feel like celebrities – since when do the employees applaude your entrance? Who cares – it felt great!
Sticker shock as we bought two iPhones.
I immediately sold my extra iPhone for $900 to some dude that couldn’t stand the line waiting.
Yoeau and I are still exhausted from the previous day’s activities. I just had 9 hours of sleep, but I still feel exhausted – but I kinda expected that.
iPhone mini-review will be posted today!
UPDATE!!
The mini-review has been posted over at Into iPhone! Head on over and check it out! We’ve also gone ahead and embedded the videos for you to enjoy hassle-free!
