YouTubeTexas: Distribution Center in Ft. Worth Readies For New iPhone Launch Tomorrow
As most folks know, the latest, speediest incarnation of the Jesus Phone comes out tomorrow, which means that an ungodly number of people around the country are going to be lining up, starting at the crack of dawn, outside their nearest AT&T or Apple store. One analyst estimates that up to half a million of the new iPhone "3G S" smartphones could be sold this weekend—in wonky math terms, that's like two being sold every second.
The video, above, is a pretty nifty behind-the-scenes look at the AT&T Distribution Center in Ft. Worth, where your future phone was probably packaged for shipment. Ahhh, consumerism.
For the record, AT&T plans to make MMS available for free (assuming you have a texting bundle) "later this summer." As for tethering, they're being a bit more cryptic, only going so far as to say that they "plan to offer a tethering plan but don’t have an announcement to make at this time." Not surprising, then, that some enterprising geeks have taken matters into their own hands.
