June 16, 2010 -- The 600,000 iPhones have been pre-ordered and if you didn't get in on the first round, don't worry you aren't the only one. Yesterday the orders started coming in and the process of ordering had to be stopped as they were running out of machines. The snafu's for the iPhone 4 pre-orders were so severe everyone who wanted one were complaining, even celebrities in Hollywood who couldn't deal with the ordering process breaking down.
As you probably were aware, hundreds of people camped out at Apple Stores while others took to the Internet hoping to get one of the 600,000 once the machines were ready. In Los Angeles and other places people stood in line and really wanted for hours to get their new toy.
Sadly, this doesn't have a great ending. Not only doesn't the iPhone 4G not ship until July 14, the phone isn't going to be shipped to everyone. Instead Apple has pushed back he date and will be allowing more purchases sometime next month.
In Hollywood, it doesn't matter if you are a celebrity or not. When it comes to the iPhone 4G everyone will be waiting.

Hey Jodi, your article has some errors in fact...I guess editor's need to get up to speed with technology, since there is not an iPhone 4G just yet, and no, "G" does not stand for generation. Other than that, good article and to the point.
