Elite Getting iPhones Early? Nope. Back of the Line, Buster

normally the giant of industriousness , billionaire bigshots and picture show stars have their hands on the latest gadgetry before any of the rest of us , but not this time , not with the iPhone . Sure , our own Brian Lam was one of the choice few to grope the iPhone last January , but since then , it ’s only been in the hands ofa few elite reviewers , an Apple display panel member or two ( such as Eric Schmidt who was seen flashing an iPhone at a recent group discussion ) , and , well , Steve Jobs . Heck , even the CEO of AT&T , Randall Stephenson , did n’t have one in late March . Will the hoi polloi have to waitress in channel ?

Heck , no . They ’ll get someone to wait for them . But is n’t it rich to see the bully democratization of the iPhone , where it ’s unacceptable for high - status individuals to hook up with one earlier than the rest , where swank - arse Hollywood producers and directors , along with their agents and manager ca n’t seem to snag one , either . say one talent agency assistant :

“ Usually it ’s us getting the clients free booty , like free Helios and Sidekicks . But now it ’s the other mode around . I take heed from one friend of mine at a studio that a older product executive was using his relationship with a high - visibility role player to get himself an iPhone . What ’s weird is that the actor was in reality like , ‘ Yeah , I think I know someone at Apple who can abstract you up . ”

Good god , this is for sure turning into a lowlife race for the jewelry - jangling set . What better way to pump up the hype — don’t give away any schwag beforehand . At all . This is blend in to be serious , folk . Will there be riots this Friday at 6 pm ?
