AllThingsD: Apple Extends iPhone Lines Additional 2 Hours

If you didn’t get one at launch, like waiting in lines and are an early bird by nature, John Paczkowski of AllThingsD reports that Apple is extending iPhone lines at their stores for an additional two hours, opening at 8:00AM…  

John holds up his iPhone 3G ticket at a local Apple Store

“Great news for the Mac faithful iPhone covetous: iPhone availability is improving. Responding to unprecedented demand for the new device, Apple (AAPL) is opening its retail stores two hours early. And it’s pre-qualifying customers as well. “To accommodate demand for iPhone 3G, all Apple Retail Stores will now open at 8 a.m. every day but Sunday,” the company says on its retail store page.

“We’re also adding staff to help you get up and running as quickly as possible. Customers will be prequalified to purchase while in line and will receive a claim ticket for an iPhone 3G. Your ticket can be redeemed on the spot or–if it would be more convenient to return later the same day–by 6 p.m. (4 p.m. on Sundays).”

At TR7 with some down time? Consider a trip to Bainbridge Island

Coming to TR7 in Seattle and wondering what to do with a day off? sure, there’s plenty to do and see in Seattle but consider this: Hop the ferry to Bainbridge Island – the weather is quite nice this weekend (so far) and if you walk on to the boat, it’s a short walk into town for a quiet day. Nice shops, lots to see and very god food: lunch or dinner at the Winslow Way café (save room for dessert) or Nola’s.
