How to get an iPhone 4 without the line
One week ago, on June 16, an unemployed man pitched a tent outside an Apple Store in Dallas, Texas, hoping to be among the first people to buy the iPhone 4, which doesn't go on sale in stores until Thursday.
Another man, this one with a sponsor, stepped into a one-man line Tuesday at Apple's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City -- hoping for the same, along with a little cash, according to Fortune.com.
With those two images in mind, many Apple loyalists might expect some crazy-long lines to circle the company's stores on Thursday when the iPhone 4 goes on sale. After all, the phone, which features video conferencing, a slimmer body and a higher-resolution screen, has been making headlines for months.
