iPhone 3G Availability Tracking Just Got Easier (news/iphone-hardware/iphone-3g-availability-tracking-just-got-easier-20080727756)

If you are in the market for the iPhone 3G, you've probably encountered your local Apple Store being out of stock. Apple continues to replenish stock and even has their own availability application (http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/availability.html) on their site. The site requires you to drill down in order to check your local availability. Utilizing Apple's JSON file, Chris Barnes has created a "mashup" providing quick access to iPhone 3G availability (http://www.topmuffin.com/3g-iphone-availability) across the country. Apple Retail Stores are now opening at 8 a.m every day, but Sunday to accomodate the demand.
