Wozniak first in line at Valley Fair [photos]

Apple co-founder Steve 'Woz' Wozniak arrived at San Jose's Valley Fair Apple Store before 3:30 a.m. this morning to be the first in line to purchase iPhones. Woz himself -- who is wearing a FastMac "I was there" t-shirt, was reportedly promised an iPhone by Steve Jobs on Saturday, but is waiting in line anyway to purchase more devices for his children and to experience the iPhone launch atmosphere. Whispers suggest that the first 50 people at each Apple Store will receive a special gift, and that the flagship stores have 580 iPhones in stock while smaller outlets are likely stowing lower numbers of devices. A Woodstock-like atmosphere reportedly surrounds those standing in line at the Valley Fair store, and sightings of Digg.com founder Kevin Rose as well as the Mac Quicken team were reported at the Palo Alto store.

Although we may sometimes feel like much older than we are, I don't think any of us will ever be twice our age. Besides, Woz usually only acts half his age, so if my math is right, by being in line since 3:30 a.m., he should be pretty much at par with his calendar age.

Hey, would someone in line there who's reading this ask those guys if they know what "feature parity" is? I'm not sure they do.

...try to snag a shirt price at $0.00, but get a "404 - Not Found" and a "You don't have access to this page" message.

Life is so unkind.

Jobs did send him one, but it won't arrive until Saturday. He chose to wait in line to get it with everyone else.
