iDay minus 8 hours: lines everywhere

IphoneiPhone lines were mostly limited to the Apple stores yesterday in San Francisco, but on Friday morning (8 hours before the launch of the iPhone) you were hard pressed to find a single AT&T Wireless store that didn't have a line of people camping outside.

The lines furthermore are highly visible, as AT&T Wireless stores are plastered throughout the city. And each and every one had a group of about five iPhone hopefuls outside.

You can dismiss the people camping outside the Mac stores for several days as Mac zealots or attention seekers, but the lines outside each of these AT&T stores is underscoring the instant cult status of this gadget.
