    • Poe

    • Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.

      Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Redwalls
    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

    • 8 out of 10
    • Belle & Sebastian

    • The Life Pursuit is a sort of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You get Belle & Sebastian's peanut butter (its wistful, often irresistible pop) dipped in a 'Have A Nice Day!' and glam 70s chocol

UK iPhone Launch Draws Large Crowds

Friday, November 9th, 2007 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet

Apple and cell carrier O2 jointly launched the iPhone in the U.K. on Friday, and like Cologne in Germany, drew crowds for the popular handheld device. The line at London’s Regent Street Apple Store began forming 26 hours before the launch, and was some 300 people long by the time the store doors opened, according to the BBC.

20-year-old Tom Jasinski was the first out the door with an iPhone in hand. "I got here 26 hours ago," he said. "It is a great piece of hardware. It is a great thing and I love it."

Store employees walked the line keeping customer excitement up, and the BBC went so far as to call the event "mayhem."

The iPhone is available in over 1,300 locations throughout the U.K. including Apple retail stores, O2 stores, and Carphone Warehouse locations. The combination iPod and smartphone is priced at £269 (about US$566.25), and services contracts with O2 start at £35 (about $73.67) a month.
