Durham Apple Store on iPhone 4S launch day

Here's the view at the Durham Apple Store on iPhone 4S launch day with plenty of eager customers waiting in line for the new iPhone. I was surprised that even by mid-morning the line for Apple's latest and greatest iPhone was still strong, but I suppose that just shows how strong the demand is likely to be, at least at this Durham store. Since customers were being allowed in, it also tells us that Apple made sure there was a decent amount of in-store availability of the iPhone 4S for people who chose not to pre-order for delivery in the mail.

Even though I currently use an Android smartphone, there's something exciting about being Apple Store lines. I lined up for both the original iPad and more recentlyy for the iPad 2 here in Durham; it's a great chance to meet other technology fans!
