Waiting For An iPhone 3G In Style


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Jul 13, 2008 06:19 PM

I was messaging with some friends about my grueling iPhone 3G buying experience, and I said it could have been pleasant if I'd just brought a few magazines and a camp chair. My friend the Black Eagle suggested a more complete shopping list.


"You need an Air or the nonexistent Apple notepad," he said, to take advantage of free Wi-Fi radiating from the Apple store, and added:

Apple iPad from MacMall$1,595
Coleman Camp Chair w/drink holder from Wal-Mart$15.95
Stainless steel Thermos from Amazon with tea$25.95
Chicken Tequila Fettuccine from California Pizza Kitchen$15.95
The latest book from your favorite author$25.95
Waiting in style to buy the latest iPhonePRICELESS
