MacDailyNews has posted the picture of the 1st person in line for the iPhone @ Apple's 5th Avenue Store. If you are going to wait in line 4 days for a $600 phone, you shouldn't really be holding a sign asking for donations and metro cards. Notice the Apple Employee's strange look? ;)

On a side note, I was at an Apple Store tonight and spoke to a few sales people about the whole iPhone launch. They said that it's very "top-secret" and they're finding out bits and bits of information as the days go by, but can't share any information for fear they could lose their jobs (the girl seemed very serious). I asked what she thought about people beginning to camp out and was told "it's not necessary to camp out, major Apple Retail Stores will be well stocked and they're just wasting they're time camping out." Take it for what it's worth.

Gadgets on the go will not be camping out, but we will be at our local Apple Store around 12:30pm to provide comprehensive coverage of the iPhone launch (how's that for dedication) and finally get our hands on the phone that is going to change the world. Ok, that might be going a little too far, but haven't you noticed our enthusiasm over the iPhone the past few days??;)
