The iPhone 5S was just announced. Twitter user @Xxxprius isnāt chancing anything. āI went ahead and got the first place in line,ā he tweeted. Now, all he has to do is wait. For well over a week.

āIām lined up at the Ginza Apple Store where the new iPhone 5S launches in ten days,ā @Xxxprius added nearly 20 hours ago. āThis might be tough.ā
In what has all the trappings of a publicity stunt (for himself, at least), so far, heās hooked up his iPad and camped out in a lawn chair on the pavement in Tokyoās swanky Ginza district, live tweeting along the way.
If thatās one thing he has, itās time to tweet. Oodles of it. Thank goodness for flexible working hours. Or no working hours at all. Whichever!
Heās dealt with rain.
And reporters.
Heās made iPhone friends.
And this is only his first day. Just nine more to go!
