Computer World - Report on typical USA Fan Boy's in line for 3GiPhone

The Kozleks already have four of the older iPhones, but they were in
line to buy three new ones at 6:30 a.m. -- a wait that took them three
hours.

The youngest member, Thomas Drew Kozlek III, 28, a second-year medical
student at Boston University, said he could use a faster network to
reach the Internet, send e-mails and text messages, and find Web
information for medical classes. "I am basically already using the
iPhone as a replacement for my computer," he said, noting that he
expects to try out some of the interesting medical applications in
Apple's new App Store.

His father, Dr. Thomas Drew, has used his iPhone in his surgical
practice to search the Web, primarily with Google. "I use it a lot for
disease information," he said. "You'd be surprised how much up-to-date
medical information you can get that way."

His wife, Mary Kozlek, said she is already an avid iPhone fan and
feels that new GPS capabilities in the updated version will be useful.
She distributes health products, and can use a faster data device for
various text, photo and Web applications, as well as for voice, she
said.

BTW HOW MANY?

Does anyone know how many iPhones were sold over the weekend to the
professional iPhone fan boy's before Apple ran out of iPhone stock?

My guess is probably at least 500,000 to 800,000 brand new iPhones
were activated to have caused such a breakdown in the iTunes server
system. That would have been a load for anybody to handle all at once
when you also add in all the previous old iPhones people tried to
upgrade at the same time.
