Here’s the potential fourth strike:

 

I was just able to get a reservation active and confirmed at my local store for the model and size I wanted via the 
Apple Store App. I got the confirmation email that confirmed I had a reservation, but the blogosphere is saying that 
the Apple Store App reservations were disabled an hour or so ago.

 

So I wonder what will happen when I, and presumably a non-insignificant people who used this same maneuver show up at 
our stores with our printed out emails to find that our mythical reservation was just that, mythical.

Well Apple appears to have thrown some more servers at the problem.

 

Their site and the store are back to being snappy and responsive. Where it all falls down is when they try to talk to 
AT&T. Then it still goes kablooey.

Does Apple have any incentive to fix their broken processes, as long as
everyone is still falling all over themselves to get an iPhone?  If you're
going to buy the phone no matter how painful it is to do so, then they
haven't lost a sale, have they?

HTC makes some nice Android phones these days.  The iPhone isn't the only
game in town.  Vote with your wallet.

For publication on IP, if you like.
