Biggest day ever
Monday, June 9th, 2008 - 5:22PM
This is Engadget.
This is Engadget when Apple launches a new iPhone. Any questions?
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by today to read our coverage of the iPhone 3G launch — it’s always an extraordinary amount of fun and a real honor to be the go-to place for big news in the gadget world.
And yes, I was fortunate enough to play with it and definitely can’t wait to really put the spurs to one.
That’s what happens when your coverage is the best. I stopped working to keep checking your updates. If Engadget hadn’t covered it, I’d just have waited for the Jobsnote webcast.

Damnnnnn! Congrats on the traffic, and congrats further still on another great liveblog.
Oh, and can you call His Steveness up and ask him to bump that launch up a couple weeks? July 11th? UGH!

Quality pays. You and the crew at Engadget provide the best coverage and you have earned every mouse click, every page view. Thank you for your hard work, your humor, and your consistent quality.

Great job. I was able to go run an errand, come back and get caught up in fast-forward (the best way to do that conference!).
We have existing ATT contracts, but not with iPhones, so I assume we would need to get new contracts, not just extend our existing ones.

Well done and lucky you! I think I’ll be paying the London Apple Store a visit next week - hopefully there’ll be some demo devices.
Steve didn’t look well though… Poor man.

Crazy man, congrats! Any actual traffic numbers or is that privileged information ;)

Sorry man! Ultimately it doesn’t really matter though, the point is how crazed and frenzied the news cycle gets on Apple days!

If only Apple released a new iPhone every month… you could retire now and be lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills. :)
Congrats on the big day… Engadget deserves it. The coverage was great.

I have a question. It seems that both graphs have the same dates on the X axis and no unit of measurement is given for the y axis. So what is it supposed to be measuring exactly?
