Queuers give their iPhone to charity, News at CNET.co.uk

Queuers give their iPhone to charity, News at CNET.co.uk: "When David Clayman arrived in Manhattan last week, he had no idea he'd end up queuing for an iPhone.

Clayman, a soft-spoken, bespectacled 21-year-old, graduated from the University of Chicago earlier in June and decided to spend a few days touring the Big Apple before starting his job as a consultant at enterprise software company SAP. He was staying in a youth hostel, exploring the city, when he walked by the massive glass cube of the Fifth Avenue Apple Store on Monday and saw that the first person had already started queuing for the company's coveted iPhone.

'I'd heard about all the iPhone hype,' he said in a particularly wet interview outside the store during a break in Wednesday night's thunderstorms, 'and I realised that there was clearly going to be a lot of publicity.'"
