    Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak First in Line for the iPhone 4S

    By Stan Schroeder | Mashable – Fri, Oct 14, 2011

    We're quite sure that Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, could make a phone call and get an iPhone 4S well before it hits the stores. However, he hasn't done that. Instead, he's first in line in front of the Apple Store in Los Gatos, California, waiting for his iPhone 4S.

    "The long wait begins. I'm first in line. The guy ahead was on the wrong side and he's pissed," tweeted Wozniak as he took his place in front of the store.

    Wozniak is known for showing up in lines for new Apple products; he was in line for the iPhone 3GS back in 2009, and again for the iPhone 4 in 2010.

    This year, he managed to get first place in line (usually, the crowd insists that he goes up front), and he's killing time by chatting with other Apple fans and signing their iPhones.

    Although he could get the latest versions of Apple products in an easier way, Wozniak claims he likes to stand in line at new product launches. "I want to get mine along with the millions of other fans," he said to CNN.

But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.
