It’s Steve Jobs’ world–we just live in it. iPhone mania is as big as Star Wars mania, except that in this case, people are lining up to spend $600 on a phone. (Want one? See details below!)
Several of our Ustreamers are broadcasting live from the iLines in front of various Apple Stores across the country. If you’re not covering the iPhone launch live, why not embed one of our broadcasts?
The folks from Zooomr are Ustreaming live from the Apple Store in downtown Palo Alto, where hundreds of iPhone enthusiasts (plus news crews from various television networks) are camped out in anticipation. Watch Kris, Thomas, and other Web 2.0 celebrities like Robert Scoble of PodTech, and Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson of Digg and DiggNation wait in line to get their hands on Steve Jobs’ latest creation.

If you’re into Hollywood instead, check out IntoIPhone.com’s Ustream coverage of the Apple Store on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. Who knows, you might catch George Clooney cutting in line to pick up his iPhone!

Ustream Feeds iPhone Mania With iPhone Giveaway
Great post. Thanks!

Wow, great contest! I’m in.

Great promo… I got my hands on an iPhone and loved it.. only thing is, we can’t even watch Ustream videos on the iPhone if we win… no flash! I’m hoping flash support comes as a Safari plug-in soon or maybe a Ustream plug-in? Who knows…
Regardless… I’m down for a free iPhone! (I’m not paying for one till there’s flash support.)

Chris,
Yes, it’s a tremendous irony that the iPhone doesn’t support Flash. We’re hoping Steve will bring out the uPhone for his next product.

Good idea, I’m in. I also signed up for one at free-itunes-iphone.com so we’ll see what happens!
