Somebody teach him how to preorder.
Preorder? He can probably get it months before public launch if he wants.

Re: Steve Wozniak is first in line for iPhone 4S
#12Anyone remember if there is any queue for the first iPhone?
Yes, I stood in line for nearly 10 hours in Los Angeles on June 29th, 2007, to get a first generation iPhone.
I remember it well. I was on holiday in the US and couldn't believe people were queuing for a phone! Apple fanboys!
Turns out two years later I'm totally one of those fanboys

#14"People brought iPhones, iPods and iPads for Wozniak to sign with a marker. "Now your phone is not going to be worth as much when you sell it," Wozniak said to one woman before signing her iPhone 4" Dear Woz, I am sure an iPhone with your signature is worth a lot more than a bare iPhone.
Well he means it will push an old iPhone back up to original value,

I'd think that was mostly an issue of company policy than punishing the guy for showing it specifically to Woz. In other words, if they found out that he'd shown it to his cab driver, or the guy who made his coffee the next morning, he'd probably be in just as much trouble.
By the way, that cultofmac link gets stuck in a redirect loop. Woz contributed a piece about it to gizmodo though: http://gizmodo.com/5523673/steve-wozniak-on-apple-security-e...
EDIT: Also, from the article:
>Wozniak acknowledged that he could have easily made one phone call to Apple and gotten the phone he's waiting in line for, but he didn't.

He could have pre-ordered. He obviously does it because he likes to do it – nothing wrong with that.

#17He did it may be as a tribute to his dear friend, Steve Jobs.

#18I want to start a company that's so damned awesome, that even after I've been retired for decades, I'll line up and wait overnight to buy their latest product.

He always gets in line for the iPhone. He did it for the 3GS as well: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=725868

Dear Tichy, I am sure Woz realises this and that's part of the joke he's making.
