They've already sold over a million iPhone 3G's. That took 74 days with the original iPhone. They are having some issues meeting demand.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Tamara is coming over to the thread and needs help with a laptop. She would prefer PC, and I don't know what her budget is.
I'm likely to recommend Dell first, but I know others who prefer different brands.

Hi all. It is a shiny new thread that I have never been in before.
iTunes let me know this last weekend in no uncertain terms that my 7 year old compaq desktop is a piece of shit. I use my computer for the heavy and constant interweb use, email, lots of video streaming and downloading and the occasional spreadsheet and database application for work. I don't need anything fancy and would like to keep the price under $1000. I would prefer a notebook over a desktop but, that may be pie in the sky. I don't need a monitor or keyboard or printer or any of the stuff they usually throw in.
Any suggestions would be welcome and appreciated although I may not get back here until after comic-con.

I dunno if Dallas is just behind in the distribution?
My freind Joe works at the one on Knox/Henderson. He worked on Monday and said they had cut off the line, and when he left 3 hours later people were still waiting to get the phone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you're thinking about getting a Mac, I would definitely wait a couple of weeks, as there are rumors swirling around that Apple will soon be releasing newer, lower-priced models.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I highly recommend the MacBook. They start at $1099, but rumor has it they're gonna release one that starts under $1000 sometime soon. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love my Toshiba, which was under $600. I had to upgrade the memory from 1GB to 2GB, and that cost me about $25.

Our low end Toshiba laptop and my BIL's low end Toshiba have been good computers at around the $500 price point. Battery life isn't all that great though, I think that's pretty common with the $500 and under laptops.
