AT&T running out of iPhones, iTunes activation overloaded, Lines moving slow

9to5 Staff

We are getting many reports in from readers having less than stellar experiences getting their 3G iPhones….hardly unexpected considering the pent-up demand.  A few readers have written in to say that AT&T has given them iPhones to activate at home.   Others at AT&T say that they ordered their iPhone but won’t recieve it for "another few days as stocks become available." 

We haven’t had any reports from Apple Store customers who are running out (oops – yes we have – this one only has a few hundred left) but the activation is taking much longer than anticipated.

How is it going for you?

iPhone bringing iTunes store to many more countries

As the iPhone 3G circles the globe over the next 24 hours, more and more stores will begin opening up.  Distorted Loop points out that Apple is leaving a trail of stores all over the world.  Eventually there will be over 70.  And they will have iPhone and iPod Apps stores.  But will these iTunes stores carry any more products?    Some international movies? 

With that big of a footprint, reaching that many people (India=1 billion sets of eyes and ears), will some movie and record studios come beckoning?  They’d be fools not to!
