By some accounts, interest in the 3G iPhone is ten times what it was the first time around. There are already lines in front of Apple's Manhattan store. Of course, they were environmental activists, not Apple fans, but....
At a lower price and improved specifications, Apple may well hit the ball out of the park with this release. See you in line.
