Queue Forming in Regent Street for iPhone Launch
 

November 9th is a good day for Neowin, with it being my birthday, that of Mike Stanclift (Marshalus) as well as shockz celebrating his 6 years on Neowin. For others it will be spent largely queuing outside an Apple store in Regent Street, London eager to be among the first to own an iPhone on it's debut in the UK.

MacWorld reports that a few people have already turned up equipped with warm winter clothing, folding chairs and a lot of determination. Just like Arthur Dent states in the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" the British are experts at queuing, I think I'll give this one a miss however.

The move replicates the US experience, where the first queues began to form outside Apple and AT&T shops the day before the product launched. Hundreds had joined these queues by the time the iPhone went on sale.
