AmesMUG: iPhone 3G Launch

[Brandon Newendorp]

Yeah, I've read that, in terms of data transfer, it costs more to send  
a text message than to get images from the Hubble Space Telescope.   
Crazy...

Anyway, I was planning on picking up an iPhone 3G as well on Friday  
morning.  Not sure if it will be necessary to stay overnight Thursday,  
maybe just get there crazy early on Friday morning.
