The US Apple Store is down - you'll never guess why
Apple's online store for the US is down (all other countries' stores are still up). If I were a betting man, though, I'd say it'll be back up by 3 AM, when pre-orders for the Verizon iPhone are expected to begin. I'd also say it's a fair bet that a big percentage of people in the US who are still awake at this hour are awake because of the pre-orders. We'll let you know when the store comes back up, though it shouldn't take too long.
Update: The store is back up, and the Verizon iPhone is now available for pre-order.
