iPhone to Hit Apple Stores Friday Night

Get your running shoes on because it's going to be a Rat Race to snag an iPhone (from $499) Friday, June 29, when they are released nationwide at 6PM (local time) at all 164 Apple retail stores and AT&T's select retail stores.

Combining three products into one, the iPhone can be used as a cell phone, a widescreen iPod, and an internet browser with a multi-touch display that is easily used with a "tap, flick, or pinch of the fingers," a press release from Apple stated Thursday night.

Sound like a Friday night with an instruction manual? Don't cancel your poker game just yet. Apple is offering free instructional sessions throughout the day starting in the morning on Saturday, June 30th.

With all stores staying open until midnight, you should be able to get your share, although, you're gonna have to play it fair--the limit is two iPhones per customer based on a first come, first served basis.
