Spectators at the iPhone Display

it's the holy grail!

He looks a bit skeptical, no?

No, he looks like Frank Black

She is being bathed by the holy, cleansing light of Apple, Inc.

no, he looks like jony ive

She?

That would be a "He"....

Smells like an iPhone

No, he looks like Edgar from '24'.

Is this thing gonna work?

I think she's a lesbian. Real lesbians often look like 14 yr old boys.

They look like they've seen a god.

HE has an adam's apple.

EARZ!!!

This has a flavur.

No its the jesus phone!

It's not fair!. I can only see the back part of Iphone.

At MacWorld 2007, Apple has two iPhone prototypes in sealed displays where conference attendees gather and inspect the new device. The prototype itself is running a canned demo set of actions.

I like how the guy behind the glass, being reflected in it, has sort of a doubtful look.

You have to credit Apple. The last time these guys stared that intently at something was when they found Dad's stash of Playboys.

Think I could possibly get the original, you know, without the watermark. I only ask because that's me in the picture with the long hair. I'm sniffing the iPhone!

Mattj: after reading the 2001 monolith post I have the music in my head as I look at the photo. (Not the Strauss, but the choral music that sounds a bit like the whistling of the wind.)

Are you a photojournalist? Nice news feature for soft news. Really captures the reaction to the iphone well with the expressions, and the lighting is nice and a freebie. What lens/camera were you using here? guess I should check the stats . . .

Hmmm....hype and millions of sales yes, but what a flop this turned out to be. Iphone and Iphone 3G both overhyped, those fools looking through the glass are looking at a grossly underpowered machine that lacks many many features which only 30% of them have been acheived in OS 3.0. All hail the flop, whatever Android phone comes out next or the Omnia HD and Nokia N97 will bury this pile of junk for good in the grave, the Iphone has long been overshadowed, Only the fanboys keep it alive and strong because of the name.

A flop? Hm. I don't know about a flop. Underpowered? Hm. I don't know where you're getting that from. Critics are not fanboys. And each critic that tested the iPhone before it was released raved it's technological advancements. The only downside when it was released was it's price. And today, that has been solved. I look at the competition (knock-offs) and compare. I don't see how anyone would NOT buy an iPhone over the competition. I'm not sure where these claims of yours are coming from... but they aren't very strong.
