I can’t imagine starting a line for a device that hasn’t even been announced yet, can you?
I’ve never even camped out the day prior to a release day for anything! I think this goes to show how dedicated many Apple fans are, and what lengths they’ll go to to get their hands on the latest and greatest from Apple. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely an Apple fan, and a happy one at that, but to me, this just seems a little excessive.
What do you think? Are you this dedicated?

Justin says
I’ve camped out for a couple things before but that’s absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, I think it’s probably a bit irresponsible to waste that much time.
Chase Livingston says
I agree, though he has received a lot of loot ๐
Ben Miller says
No, he’s not dedicated to the Apple cause, he’s doing a publicity stunt for a software company that he works for. He’s also received thousands of dollars worth of sponsorship products. I’m not sure why a company would want to sponsor him, but at least he’s getting lots of publicity on blogs.
Eric J says
Thanks for the tip Ben i knew there had to be something more to this story.
Chase Livingston says
I guess they’re getting the publicity they’re looking for then. Any idea what company he works for?
Ben Miller says
Yes, it’s all in the article that you linked to. ๐
The name of the company is Medl Mobile, and they write (you guessed it) iPhone apps. According to the article, this guy is a marketing executive for them.
Chase Livingston says
Ah what a surprise, guess I overlooked that paragraph somehow… :/
Brian Alexander says
A little over the top in my opinion.
Eric Dye says
I’m with Brian. Over the top. A Marketing Executive who gets this gig, must be fresh out of college, eh! :p
Chase Livingston says
Probably so…
Agile Scout says
omg get a job
Chase Livingston says
Apparently he has one ๐
Jon Greenhill says
I’m going to camp out and wait for Jesus to come back. I mean technically it’s been announced…in a way. I need some endorsements though. Someone, get Chick Fil A on the phone!!!
Chase Livingston says
ROFL!
Will Blanton says
Wonder how long he lasted? Seeing how the iPhone wasn’t released until October…. hahaha
Eric J says
I think he lasted ten days.
