Apple: A Late Night Palo Alto Line Update

July 11, 2008 at 1:03 am PT

It’s now a little after 11:30 p.m. here in Palo Alto, and time for an Apple (AAPL) iPhone 3G line waiting update.

Over the last hour or so, I visited four stores that will be selling the iPhone starting at 8 a.m. tomorrow:

At the AT&T store on Grant Road in Mountain View, there was not a soul in line as of 9:55 p.m. The place was deserted.

At the AT&T store at the corner of El Camino Real and Page Mill Road–a store that, by the way, just might have the most annoying parking lot on the face of the earth–some velvet ropes had appeared to help with crowd control. But as of 10:08 p.m., there was no crowd to control; no one was actually in the line.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
