Burns believes these problems will need to be fixed in future versions to see an iPod-like phenomenon.
"The question is: Are they going to evolve to real computing with editing, designing, and text software, in addition to anti-span, anti-virus capabilities?" Burns said.
Despite these potential setbacks, Smith says the iPhone has been very popular.
"We're very pleased with sales, almost all of stores nationwide have sold out," Smith said. "Across the board, it is a product that is in high demand."
AT&T stores receive multiple shipments a week and AT&T representatives can help customers locate the nearest stocked store if they are out-of-stock.
As of Tuesday afternoon, iPhones on ebay were selling for anywhere between $600 and $700. The retail price of the iPhone is $499 for the four-gigabyte version and $599 for the eight-gigabyte version. Monthly fees on the iPhone range from $59.99 to $99.99.
As far as future technologies go, Burns is sure that there will always be a market for new gadgets and another chance for CSU students to rush stores.
"There is always a demand when people have money and like toys," he said.
