is this happening every where across NA? Man Apple must be making a killing right now. I'm just worried if I get it now they will come out with one with flash and I will be stuck with the I4

In addition to the rest of the comments, once the Apple managers realized that they were not able to allocate time for each transaction for every one in the line up (which was a lot, approximately a thousand people), they created a cutoff and essentially cut the line by more than 60% and limited cards were given out to people that were willing to wait. They gave out cards and entered everyone's phone preference and information in their data base manually (very time consuming, two representatives outside servicing a few hundred customers) which guaranteed card holders a phone on Sunday or the following day. These people will be given priority within the next couple of days so I would advise people to not bother lining up if you don't have a card as I expect even card holders will have to line up and compete amongst themselves. I am skeptical, after experiencing today's line up (even though I was quite far up) that they will even have enough time to process and make transactions for all the high hoped and promised card-holders.

Flash is just software so if it comes to the ios in the future you're i4 should have it no problem.


Apparently it's sold out in Seattle too but my Physiotherapist told me you can walk into an Apple store in NY and pick one up any time.

Why do people always think like this? "Oh, I'll just get the next one because it'll have more features."

That'll be the case for the rest of time as technology continues to improve. If you wait, you just end up not getting anything. Who cares if it's obsolete soon? Sell it and buy a new one.

^ exactly, I love friends who have that mentality, oh I'll wait for the next one where they fix things etc

If you wait to buy technology like that you'll never have anything

:p

Might not end up with any gadgets... but it's a fairly shrewd savings tactic.

So yes, cross platform tools like Adobe’s Flash, Unreal Game’s Unreal Engine, Unity etc are now allowed for devs to use to make apps for the App Store. And they are allowed so long as the apps they make do not download any code from the user’s iOS device.

MarkyMark 09-12-2010 02:56 PM

So apps can have flash, but safari won't?

don't be so sure. Apple has relaxed their developer restrictions a lot.

EDIT: oops someone beat me to it.

rk604 09-13-2010 10:43 AM

Ilagon 09-13-2010 11:07 AM

I just called Retentions again, told them Telus was offering me the same plan, but they had an iPhone ready for me, lol didn't work. They said that they honestly do not have any stock right now. Oh well.
