NYC "It's a big day for Apple fans. Today marks the arrival of iPhone 4, and hundreds of consumers are waiting outside stores around the world to get their hands on the smartphone. By 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 100 people had already lined up outside Apple's store in New York, 12 hours ahead of when the smartphone went on sale. Simran and Gunisha Singh, a couple from Manhattan, were braced for a long night. "We brought the entire Harry Potterseries," said Gunisha. By 6:00 a.m. Thursday, the Singhs were still in high spirits. "Fifth Avenue isn't the best place for a nap, but this is definitely worth it," says Simran. The line swelled from the night before to include thousands of people, wrapping around the block. Security guards and Apple employees kept the crowd in check. Attempts to buy a place in line also grew more fervent. "People were offering $800 to $1000 for a spot up front," says Simran."
$1000 to give up your place in line! If I had realized something like that would have been going down, I would have sat there for 12 hours. You bet your ass. You could by 2 iPhone and still have a great time. Next iPhone release I'm going to NYC with a crew of people. 5 people could make over $4,000 guaranteed!
