Say what you will, but today was very cool for me.
I was in the Palo Alto Store today. Line was about 400 people at 5 PM. Apple employees cheered us on as we went in. Steve Jobs even showed up.
I was out the door by about 6:30 w/ 4 in hand. No not for ebay, for personal/work use. We went by about an hour later. No lines, but you could still buy iPhones. The current Apple tracker shows all California stores having phones. No need to go ebay, just head out to the Apple store, if you can.
