iPhone queue begins to form at Apple’s Regent Street store

Thursday, November 08, 2007 - 02:27 PM EST

"Apple will launch the iPhone in the UK at 6.02pm tomorrow night - and a queue is already forming outside its doors on Regent Street," Jonny Evans reports or Macworld UK.

"The move replicates the US experience, where the first queues began to form outside Apple and AT&T shops the day before the product launched. Hundreds had joined these queues by the time the iPhone went on sale," Evans reports.

BBC News reports, "Eager customers have begun queuing outside the Apple Store in Regent Street, London, despite the poor weather conditions."

"In London, friends Graham Gilbert and Nik Fletcher were the first to queue for the phone," The Beeb reports.

"Apple has sold 1.4 million iPhones since it went on sale in the US and O2 and T-Mobile [in Germany] are expecting strong sales," The Beeb reports. "More than a 1,000 O2 shops, Carphone Warehouse stores and Apple shops are expected to sell the device."

That's insane. Tonight, the storm of the millenium is expected in Holland (and perhaps UK?). For the first time in 30 years the north sea gates are being closed to avoid massive flodding. And these folks are going the spend the night outside?

There are some sad people around. Stopping out all night for the iPhone, why?

I understand the line stretches through the Chunnel into France.

There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance, It's a $500 subsidized item.

They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get.
