Went down to the Apple store at lunch to look for cases and they were sold out and couldn't tell me when it would back in. I thought stores were getting phones everyday???

With all apologies to those who are legitimately having stock woes (i.e. UK customers and U.S. customers who don't have an Apple store within an hour of them), I now officially laugh at all of those who thought it was stupid to go get in line hours before hand.

This site reports on Apple news. Is there some news on the Macintosh that MR is failing to report?

Great.

Another Wii on our hands. Soon we will hear the excuse "Jobs: We completely underestimated demand!" or some other lie similar to what Nintendo said.

YES! Another victory for the consumer! :rolleyes:

This is nowhere near as bad as the Wii (yet). The iPhone has been out for less than a week, while the Wii is impossible to find almost two years later.

Inventory will stable out eventually, just like last year.

I'm glad I planned ahead and waited in-line at 3AM on the Friday morning. With the in-store activation glitch on Friday (although it didn't bug me), I felt bad for people who got inline after 5 or 6AM.

My co-worker couldn't get one on Saturday as well.

Speaking of the Wii, I waited 7 hrs on the launch day to get one.
