“It appears that the Sacramento region will have a hand in making sure users of Apple’s new iPhone are happy campers,” Clint Swett reports for The Sacremento Bee.
Swett reports, “The Cupertino-based company is advertising in newspapers and on its Web site for iPhone ‘personal trainers’ to be based in Elk Grove.”
“‘We are hiring qualified people to join the iPhone team in Elk Grove,’ read the ad in Wednesday’s Bee. ‘If you are looking to inspire customers with technology that empowers their lives and get your foot in the door at Apple, this is one opportunity you don’t want to miss,'” Swett reports.
Swett reports, “It then goes on to discuss an “invite only” hiring open house in Elk Grove on Wednesday. An invitation is apparently available by calling (866) 238-6785.”
Swett reports, “The hiring binge signals that Apple is likely to make its target date for shipping the iPhone in June.”

how exactly is this news? i’m just as big a fan as any of you, but sometimes your mac “news” can be ridiculous.

Wonder why they are starting in Sac-town?
So why do you bother posting a comment? If it’s not news worthy, then ignore it!
Define Mac news. If this isn’t Mac related news, then I don’t know what is.
“If you need assistance with your iPhone, please call . . . .”
Isn’t that like being told to e-mail the Help Desk when your mail client fails?
or a VCR that includes a tape that shows how to set it up.

Good one Jimbo
I wonder how much these guys will get paid? And what you need to be “qualified”. I mean I’ve used a phone before – does that count?
or a condom with instructions in Braille….
Oh, wait…that was just studded. I’ve been trying to read that for half an hour……
I would like to see who the ‘unqualified’ people are.
@ TT
A condom with instruction in Braille would actually be quite clever. Now, a straight razor, on the other hand…
Because there is an Apple call center in Elk Grove, CA.
TT…thanks..that was a good belly laugh
Sacramento, actually Elk Grove which is just south, is where Apple has one of its help desk call centers.
@TT and C1… you two are on your game today!

Don & Mike could tell you why Sacramento needs a team specialists to teach the residents there how to use a frickin’ cell phone.
I heard Alec Baldwin was looking for a personal phone trainer….
