iPhone Madness Hits US after Gadget Launch

June 30, 2007

The Apple iPhone, the most-anticipated gadget debut in years, went on sale Friday in the United States, with thousands of impatient buyers streaming into stores.

In the five months since Jobs announced Apple’s move into the mobile phone business, the iPhone has become the most widely-anticipated product launch in recent memory.

The phones, which retail for USD 499 for 4 gigabytes of storage or USD 599 for 8 gigabytes of storage, meld a phone, Web browser and media player.

Apple, which was to begin selling the phone online late Friday, has said shoppers will be limited to two devices apiece. AT&T, the exclusive carrier, plans to sell one iPhone per customer and at company stores only.
