Steve Jobs almost got me this time. When Apple recently unveiled its long-rumored iPad tablet, I was afraid the technology was going to be irresistible. A device that blurs the line between a smartphone and a laptop is more than a little tantalizing for a tech geek like me. But my wallet can breathe a sigh of relief

##ICON_NAME## It seems as though AT&T and Verizon are not losing steam on this whole commercial vengeance thing. Both AT&T and Verizon have recently released a new commercial. Verizon is targeting Apple this time around instead of AT&T. It could be in retaliation to the commercials Apple released last week targeting Verizon. The difference is, Apple does it so smoothly and Verizon is tactless.

Either way, I think both Verizon and AT&T’s commercials are slipping in quality. You can check them both out below.

The bricks just keep being thrown through AT&T’s reputation window. This time, TechCrunch’s MG Siegler has an entertaining rant on how Apple needs to dump AT&T and put the iPhone on Verizon Wireless. As noted before, the iPhone may be the worst thing that has ever happened to AT&T’s reputation over the long run. But Siegler reckons that Apple can dictate terms to Verizon Wireless and simply …

aisThe following is my experience waiting in line for the iPhone 3G S. I will be live streaming video later once we get closer to opening (7:00am CT) (didn’t live stream due to rain)

9:07am - Doug has his new iPhone 3G S which he says “Rocks!” Seemed like a painless process and MUCH faster than last year and the iPhone 3G. He is headed home to sync. :)

8:52am - Hi, this is Brooke. I have been instructed to update Doug’s post for him. They let him into the AT&T store early (before the 10:00am time mentioned previously) so, he is currently in the process of getting his new iPhone 3G S. I have a feeling there will not be any video this time around like there has been in the past. It didn’t work out this time. But, Doug should have info about his new iPhone 3G S soon. YAY!

7:32am - An AT&T rep just dropped his iPhone on the brick sidewalk to show how well the Otterbox case works. Btw, I will have been here for 11 hours once I’m through. :P

7:03am - so, just found out that preorders get in now but non-preorders can’t buy until 10:00am not 8:00am like we thought. Now I have to wait 3 more hours. :(

6:44am - few more people showing up. Store changed their banner to 3G S now.

6:06am - 4 here now.

6:00am - Mediacom guy here in line with us. Manager is here now too. Raining harder.

5:19am - thunder and lightning have joined us and @JMCato is here with treats.

5:09am - very light rain, parking lot lights came on, got umbrella, packed away computer and camera.

4:57am - One of our writers, @jmcato, will be here shortly. No rain yet. Should be able to start streaming around 6:30ish.

4:34am - Police stopped by. Guess the “Security Guard” was getting nervous. Says store doesn’t open until 10am.

police

4:03am - Birds are starting to chirp, traffic picking up a little, storm’s getting closer.

treelight

3:12am - moved outside, officially first in line. Also officially only one in line.

2:20am - Looks like it might start raining/storming right as the store opens. I haz umbrella.

radar1

1:51am - Friend just left, now it’s just me and the security guard. Getting tired.

12:39am - Not a lot of activity. Lost connection and had to reboot…

12:07am - Just a clarification here. I’m waiting in line because I was supposed to pay $499 for a 16GB so I didn’t preorder. Then I found out I can get the 16GB for $299. I was already planning on coming to AT&T with a friend early in the morning so I thought I would come early to guarantee an iPhone.

11:43pm - So, I went to my grandparent’s to borrow their AT&T USB connection card and then got some gas and now I’m sitting at the AT&T store. There was no one here when I got here, although there was someone inside. I’m pretty convinced it’s a security guard. He’s a little older, never seen him in the store before, and he’s wearing blue dress pants… I’m guessing with all the iPhones in the store, they hired a guard for the night. He’s come and peaked out the door a couple times but mostly he’s just sitting at the computer.
