Glenn Fleishman braved the lines at his nearest Apple Store and reports on opening day hysteria (the controlled, efficient kind) and gives his first impressions of the new device. We also detail the iPhone's voice and data plans, and the TidBITS staff chimes in on whether to buy or wait. And although it seems unlikely, there was plenty of non-iPhone news last week, as we note the releases of PDFpen 3.2, MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0, updates to the Final Cut Studio 2 applications, a SuperDrive firmware update, the rest of Adobe Creative Suite 3, and iTunes 7.3 (which does in fact revolve around the iPhone, but throws in an Apple TV feature, too). Lastly, Adam looks at the latest brouhaha in the music world, with Universal Music Group refusing to sign a long-term contract with the iTunes Store.
