There's part of me that would like to think that, were I ever desperate enough for some highly coveted consumer product that I would stand (read: sit) in line in front of a retail establishment for some 120 hours before the thing was actually available for purchase, I would likely do all within my power to hide my shame. Pondering said scenario a moment longer, it becomes clear: the only reason to stand in line that far in advance is to bask in the inevitable media circus that would result from such a move.

We, who are in the business of running blurry, Bigfoot-like images and obviously Photoshopped mockups of rumored gadgets, eat this sort of thing up. This is, after all, the iPhone, a device capable of both playing YouTube videos and feeding the multitude (so far as I can tell, the whole "making calls" thing is purely speculation, at this point), and any confirmation that others share our unhealthy obsession with the device is certainly worth a blog post or twenty.
