Well the Chinese version of swat, has been called into break up crowds at the launch of the iPhone 4s, at one of the apple stores in china, it's now gotten so bad, some apple stores have cancelled the release until things settle down. Boy and I thought people got excited here over apple products.

As soon as I can find a link to the unrest I will post it up

I found a link

Update some pictures of some friendly swat members outside the apple, store after they closed the door and the angry Mob started Egging the place

Wow. Crazy. Thanks for the info, Ken.

You'd be cacking yourself as an Apple staffer inside!

Cheers

It would be terrifying, to say the least. I could imagine most of them are wishing they bought a change of clothes, I wouod hate to walk into that mass, wearing a blue apple T-shirt.

If that's what being a 'fanboy' means then I'm glad I just content myself with saying I'm a happy iphone owner and user.
That whole debacle takes the meaning of "needing to get a life & some perspective" to a whole new level INMHO.
