I've been seeing twitter tweets about this all morning and apparently demand for the new 3G iPhone has taken down the activation servers at Apple. Engadget is reporting that "Apple has confirmed to us that activation is down, and that customers are being asked to take the phone home and activate via iTunes later. We're not sure what good that'll do, since the servers are down no matter where you are, but Apple says it's "working on a solution."" Not sure if this is a US only issue or if it's affecting iPhone purchases globally?
