waiting for the iPhone

Greg Packer
Greg Packer waiting for his iPhone (t minus three days).

Gizmodo says they're not what "we" expected…but I think these guys are a *lot* like the dudes who line up before video console releases. My co-worker Dr. Zur and I stopped by the 5th Ave Apple store during lunch today to say hi to liner #1, Greg Packer, he was pretty affable about the whole bizarre situation, including four people taking his photo (some without even asking!).

He reports that he's from Long Island and does not mind continuously answering the same five or so questions from curious onlookers, though I have to wonder how long that tolerance will last. I've got another picture of Greg and his unusual sign here. More about Greg at engadget, gizmodo, and cnet.
