A customer (L) who tried to enter the store before it opened is stopped by security outside the Apple store on July 11, 2008 in New York. 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
