iPhone at Apple Store Online at 6:00PM PST

From a conversation with an online Apple Store rep, and didn't hear this mentioned anywhere.

You can buy them at 6:00PM PST on the Apple Online Store and screw lines and crowds!

Thanks, good to know.

That's stupid if you ask me.

Why make people wait till 6PM local time to order ONLINE?? They won't be delivered for 3-5 days anyway.

It does seem somewhat silly.

Maybe to release new products? I doubt it because they would be overshadowed by the iPhone. But it is possible.

Did you ask them how long it would take to ship the phones?

They are worried about quantity and didn't want to risk East Coast people buying them up and none left for us West Coasters...??? (grin)

that means the west coast launch will be cheesy though...why not have it up the next morning?
