According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW), Apple announced the line of accessories to be launched along side the iPhone today. We here at Apple Savant thought the Bluetooth Headset would come a month or so after launch, but it appears it will ship today as well! Read the details on TUAW, click here.
Well, we've made it to iPhone Day. We wish you all good luck in your quest to procure an iPhone.
AT&T Stores are gearing up for iPhone day, as if you didn't already know. Stores will be closing for an hour and a half to prepare, much like Apple Stores. Here's a recording of one store's telephone greeting:

Happy iPhone Eve! Tomorrow is the big day and we here at Apple Savant have questions about the launch time of 6PM. We all know that the 6PM launch time is a twist of brilliance from a PR standpoint. However, this raises a few questions about Apple's online store and the store's timeline. Apple is located in the Pacific Time Zone, so we can assume that they will operate under this time zone, but is that really fair to the rest of the country? Assuming it's not fair, let's say Apple decides to open their store at 6PM Eastern Time. Does this mean it will be available to the East Coaster's first? Or, will the Apple Store open at 3PM Pacific, to correspond with 6PM Eastern?
Maybe Apple will use IP-location technology to only allow IP's in certain time-zones access to the iPhone Store. So everyone in the east will have the advantage?? Proxy-server anyone?
We guess time will tell. We'll be checking in Apple.com/Store tomorrow all day!

Apple has presented us their iPhone rate plans today...available at:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/easysetup/rateplans.html
We are certainly pleasantly surprised at the rates. As current AT&T subscribers, it appears that the iPhone data and visual voicemail are only a $20 premium over the current, standard rate plans.
Learn all about activating and syncing your iPhone. It appears Apple has rethought the activation process as well!
