Waiting in a tent outside an Apple store for a week and get a slightly updated phone – and pay for it as well – is just so absurd that it honestly makes me think that it’s just a PR thing from Apple. The photo above is taken today outside the Apple Store in NYC.
What do you think? Would you stand in line for more than a couple of hours to get an iPhone 3G? I wouldn’t stand in line for more than 10 minutes…

I’ve stood in line for very few things… mostly video games. But the longest I’ve ever waited was no more then 8 hours…
People stand in lines for all kinds of things: Movies, video games, sales. Why should the iPhone be any different? I think it’d be discounting peoples stupidity to infer that the only reason they would be waiting is because Apple is paying them to. I don’t think Apple would pay anyone knowing that there are people out there who actually does it on their own volition…
It’s just that _a whole week_ standing in line seems so absurd… Fine if they gave away 100 phones to the first in line, but it’s the case with this one – and you might be able to just go in and buy one on the 12th of July…
Well, just my 2 cents.
“Absurd” is too weak a word for this. I would happily see all the people in line getting shot, for humiliating human race.
Depends on the value of a person’s time. In the case of the Apple cultists…
As for this being an Apple PR stunt, what makes you think Apple would be deceitful?
People with nothing better to do and who know they’ll be getting their 15 seconds of fame?
