686759 2008-07-09 07:28:00 Has anybody been following this guy? He's been standing in line for the iPhone since tuesday and has just become an overnight celebrity.

The story broke in NZ, made the Herald then went international. Engadget picked up the story - then it got dugg in a big way. digg.com aiting

We were checking him out at work today, he's got his own blog setup and is posting up pictures, videos and stories live from the street lol. http://1stinline.blogspot.com/

Its weird though - He's ordering all this stuff from the side of the street. he got a mobile massage today haha. He's hardly slumming it. We were thinking we could challenge him to do stuff during the day while he was sitting there - especially since the whole world is watching him!

686760 2008-07-09 07:54:00 I wonder if he will sign up with Vodaphone ?

Perhaps on his world-wide blogs he could detail Vodaphone's pricing plans. Seeing as how Mark Rushnotworthit thinks his plans are so good.

If nothing else he is getting plenty of media coverage although I would agree with the ripoff side of things at this stage. Pity really.<sigh> Apparently there are now 4 people lined up.
