Would You Rather Go to the Apple Store or Order Online?
I hit up the Apple store Saturday to grab a new iPhone case and noticed the 20-person line snaking outside for iPhone 3G S buyers. Then, on Sunday, I ran an errand across the Bay Bridge and witnessed yet another line of eager buyers.
Despite the lackluster launch day (compared to last year and the year before, anyway), there's still not just demand for the new iPhone, but enough demand that people are willing to stand in line to get it right in their hands then and there, even though you can order it online.
The Apple Store Is Now Selling the iPhone 3G Contract Free
Just one week after announcing the news that AT&T planned on selling the iPhone 3G with no commitment for $599 and $699 — most of you thought that was way too expensive — Apple retail stores are now offering the iPhone 3G without contract.
Two things to note about this. With T-Mobile expanding its 3G network coverage, this could mean more T-Mobile users upgrading to the iPhone (so you're locked to AT&T, but you could unlock at your own risk), and with the Apple store now selling the iPhone — contractless and no limit on how many you purchase — this basically seals the deal that a new iPhone is on its way this June.
Apple Will Now Price Match With Other Retailers
Find a cheaper iPod Nano at Best Buy, but you'd rather pick one up at the Apple store? Now thanks to Apple's new policy, retail managers can now match the prices of other authorized retailers.
And not only does this include the standard Apple products like iPhones, MacBooks, and iPods, but this also applies to other merchandise in the Apple store like accessories and laptop bags.
Twilight Star Kristen Stewart Spotted Shopping at Apple Store!
Looks like Bella, I mean Kristen Stewart, could still find time to stop into the Apple Store in NYC yesterday, despite the non-stop Twilight promoting.
And why shouldn't she? When you need a new iPod (apparently what she was shopping for), you go get yourself a new iPod.
Lily Allen Eyes Up the New MacBooks at the Apple Store
Lily Allen goes from showing her appreciation of Art to showing her love for Apple by stopping by the Apple store on Regent Street in London yesterday. Thirteen days after the announcement of the new MacBooks at the Apple event, Lily is eager to get her hands on one of the new notebooks — I guess her MacBook Air just isn't cutting it.

iPhone 3G Back In Stock at Apple Stores
Looks like the iPhone 3G won't be playing as hard to get as I originally thought. As of today, if you check out Apple's iPhone 3G inventory site, every Apple store across the US is fully stocked with 3G's.
What model will be the most difficult to get?
One MacBook Air For Paris and One MacBook Pro For Benji
Doesn't the saying go, "Lovers that geek out together, stay together?" If that's the case, Paris and her beau Benji Madden are well on their way to matrimonial geeky bliss. Maybe I could recommend a delectable chocolate laptop wedding cake for the big day?
