Apple Thoughts: iPhone 3G Now Available Online

"Online shoppers looking to spend the holiday season firmly planted on the couch can add the iPhone 3G back to their lists -- we've just confirmed that Apple and AT&T have quietly brought back in-home activation. Sure, it's been available in limited circumstances before, but now it's here and for real, just like with the first-gen unit."

Yep, if you order now, you'll have one for Christmas. Of course, you can't just grab one and not activate it, but it means you won't have to wait on hellacious lines if you're trying to get one for your loved one.

Or yourself :-)
