David Yoo holds up his iPhone as he screams leaving the Apple store on July 11, 2008 in New York. Yoo was the first customer to exit the store with the new phone. About 1,000 tech fans -- and at least one confessed "gadget freak" -- jostled for a chance to snap up the first iPhone 3Gs in the US on Fifth Avenue Friday. Apple employees in orange T-shirts cheered on the crowd as sales kicked off at 8:00 am. First out of the shop with the latest was David Yoo, 24, of New York. "I am very happy, I am going to call my mother" he told reporters. Yoo said he bought the new one because he thinks it is "faster with the Internet, and for the GPS." AFP PHOTO/DON EMMERT
