Check the Tent for Technology

I've heard a lot of stories about folks camping out to get the first release of certain products, but this is just ridiculous..."Man Begins Camping for iPhone 5..."

Rob Shoesmith of Britain is camping out infront of a Apple store in London in order to get the first release of the iPhone 5. Now, I can see how this is going to be an exciting release and I'm sure that there will be several people across the world camping out for the new iPhone, but what's ridiculous is that there is no release date set yet! Nobody knows what new features will be on the phone, nobody knows what it will look like, and he's camping out already!

What's also funny is how this man didn't bring any money with him, and is expecting to earn donations on his blog in order to get the phone. That seems selfish to me.

Note: I was excited for Verizon's release of the iPhone 4. All that I had to do was sign up for the presale, wake up at 3am on a weeknight, and order the phone. I had it shipped to me a week before it was released to the public. Jeeze man, go home! Order it online! YOU DON'T NEED TO CAMP OUT!
