Countdown to iPhone: 7 days

We’re just a week away from the now-seriously-over-hyped Apple iPhone release. Mark your calendars for June 29th, Friday, at 6 PM. That’s local time, wherever you are.

CNET News is reporting that AT&T hired 2,000 additional temporary workers just to keep things afloat next Friday.

And Macworld posted a story yesterday about how there’s a chance the iPhone may not succeed.

Even with the endless press coverage, we still have no idea how much the iPhone will cost per month. At least we can say with confidence that the iPhone will be great for catching up on episodes of The Office.
