The Apple rumor mill is once again running overtime on the topic of netbooks. If you believe the reports, Steve Jobs is himself leading the charge. My take: Whatever Apple does, it won

You’re totally right about it being about the experience as much as (or more than) the phone. I didn’t have to camp out the night before at my location, and no one famous or noteworthy came by, but we had a time nonetheless. I wear my sunburn with pride. (Though I’d rather I’d worn sunblock, to be sure). I COULD have been first in line, but decided to run some errands and come back when there was a line. So I was fourth. And getting to visit with the people around me for the next six hours… it was fun. And like your experience, we all took care of each other. And some of us glared at the pregnant lady’s husband when he FINALLY came to stand with her just minutes before the doors opened and hours after she’d been in the heat with no food and water that was shared and with two small dogs that he left with her. Niiiice. But I digress…

Thank you for sharing your experience. Now to go read Scobles!

My thoughts were not as well organized and expressed, but I did blog my experience as well…

Great post Thomas, I really enjoyed following you Thrusday night, Friday I was away and without internet for 3 days, but that was good too.

Great job on the livebroadcasting for those of us that could not be remotely anywhere near the actual launch

Thomas, I am very happy myself to be able to mingle with you and Kristopher for the last 24 hours or so and more importantly the exposure zooomr got from Randy’s zooomr stickers plastered everywhere from shirts to poles, cnbc/msnbc coverages, hundreds of ZooomrTV viewers, etc.

I totally agree with you on iPhone itself being the secondary goal. I myself could have waited on my local apple store valley fair which is 2 blocks away. But I decided to take a cab to palo alto because of the social experience. I had the opportunity to network with a lot of people who are active on the web community. That was a day to remember.
