The September 5th Tweets (and the words iPhone and iPod thrown into the title for good measure)

I had a blast reading through Twitter reactions to the Apple announcement today, and I wanted to share the joy.

Please enjoy a completely random compilation of the tweets that stuck out to me today for no particular reason.

Merlin -

Liveblogging the Gettysburg Address: “Ok, we’re starting…Abe looks tired…opens with historical reference…no mention of iPods yet…”

Dunstan -

I am ashamed by my constant reloading of Engadget’s Apple Event coverage. Ashamed.

Daniel -

Think of it more as a $100/month “early access” exclusive membership fee.

Craig -

iPhone doubter prediction: “APPLE IS LOWERING PRICES BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS SELLING IPHONES!!!11!!”

Zeldman -

@chockenberry, the doubter prediction was inevitable. If Apple brought world peace, it would be a sign that iPhone sales were sluggish.

Aaron -

Shutting off Twitter for the day. I can’t handle the Apple orgasms

Sean -

It’s clear that Apple has become more infatuated with their products than their users.

Dave -

people complaining about the iphone price drop haven’t paid attention to how gadget tech/pricing has worked for the last two decades.

Dave -

why don’t they just make zunes the free prize in boxes of Apple Jacks?

Scott -

why do people think the Beatles will make online distribution of music legitimate? Apple has sold 3 billion songs online… that’s legit.

Neven -

I wonder if all these iPhone price drop haters go down to the store and spew insults when there’s a 2-for-1 special on cereal

John -

Twitter’s going to be offline for a couple of hours tonight. You know what that means - WE’RE ALL GETTING iPHONES! WHOOOOO!

John -

Some might say the iPod Touch home screen is half empty. Others might say it’s half full. Me? I say, “Ooh, new icon for Calculator!”

Shawn -

On my way to the Apple Store for an iPhone.
