Wow. Why? This person didn't have anything better to do? Go outside. Volunteer. Walk a dog. Do anything except crappy Photoshop on something that nobody cares about. Ya blew it.
10 hours doesn't seem like too short of a time to sell out an event of this magnitude. That's more than an entire workday. I could see if it sold out in an hour or less but that's usually just Kanye West or Sugarland concerts that sell out that quickly.
Also, "If you were traveling or in meetings today, you may have missed out entirely on the opportunity"? That's what all those nifty iOS devices are for! It sounds like YOU are working for your DEVICES. Simplify, man!
I still cannot understand people that pay hundreds of dollars more or settle for a lesser (or more expensive model) of any iOS device just because they need it RIGHT NOW. Or they THINK that they need it RIGHT NOW. You don't! No matter what you say or what your excuse is, you don't need it RIGHT NOW!
I am done waiting in lines or paying for premiums for iOS devices. I spent a morning waiting for the iPhone 3G at launch a few years ago and learned my lesson. I'll buy online or wait a few weeks or a month to get anything new. Look at the Verizon iPhone. All those people that stayed up until 2 AM to order online and now you can walk into any store and buy whatever you want. Dumb. I bought my current 3GS 6 months after launch. It was so easy.
My only negative memory of an iPod was my own fault. 7 years ago, on a flight to Vegas with friends for a bachelor party, I left it in the seat-back pocket in front of me. I didn't realize it until we got to the hotel and, by then, there was precious little that I could do. I remember the following month or so after I got back while I saved up money for a new one as being the longest ever. I sure appreciated that new one a lot more. Haven't lost one since. :)
