Obsessed with technology

People starting lining up in the US as early as Wednesday night in order to get their hands on the new Apple iphone 3G when it went on sale at 8 a.m. this morning. The new phone starts at $199, which is $300 cheaper than the previous version. It has GPS, instantaneous e-mail access and is overall faster and sleeker.


In Tokyo, at Softbank Corp.'s store there were 1,300 people waiting outside to buy their new phone. Apple is hoping to continue the frenzy and sell 10 million 3G iphones this year alone.
