Apple Confirms: No Online iPhone 3G Sales, In-Store Activation Only

So if you have to go to an Apple store to get the phone,,,, ummm, who do they think they are, McDonalds???? There is not an Apple store on every street corner ... my simple math (gas prices times distance, plus hotel costs if you are not within a couple of hours of an apple store) says that will really hurt sales and thus not have as positive an effect on the stock price as it might otherwise have had. There are even entire states that don't have an Apple store. As of a year ago, there were only 140 stores nationwide.
