BoomTown landed at New York’s JFK Airport this morning and, of course, could not resist visiting the flagship Apple (AAPL) store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on iPhone 3G Day.
That’s right! JesusPhone 2.0 is nigh!
(Well, was nigh, I guess, and apparently unable to be activated due to system overload.)
In any case, I did a particularly jumpy video of the doings at one of Apple’s most famous stores, as legions of New Yorkers waited in line for their cheaper, faster, prettier iPhone.
Added bonus: it includes an appearance at the end by my unimpressed-with-Steve-Jobs-worshipping-geeks mother, who goes by the name of–I am not kidding–Lucky.
Here’s the video:

Actually I like the “jumpiness” of the video footage. I got a real sense of the activity and the length of the line.

It’s not an Apple vs. PC thing, but a common sense thing.
