An overnight campout for the new iPhone turned chaotic Friday morning when two men were arrested for fighting outside an Apple Store and a man's plan to hire homeless people to wait in line for the coveted devices backfired, authorities said.

Dozens of people recruited at a downtown Los Angeles homeless shelter to buy iPhones in bulk at a Pasadena store were left unpaid, and they mobbed the man who had hired them, Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said....

Dominoe Moody, 43, told the Los Angeles Times he was driven the 10 miles or so to Pasadena from Los Angeles with several vanloads of people to wait in line overnight.

Moody was promised $40 but said he wasn't paid because after handing the man an iPhone, the man was escorted away by police when people became angry with him.

America, America, God shed His grace on thee...

3. I don't get this obsession to have it on the first day---the first hour of sales...

If I were going to buy one, I would-- as with my current Iphone 4, wait until some of the kinks had been worked out and supplies were plentiful. Maybe even wait until some "refurbished, like new, original package" ones were available and save a few $$...

But, then again, I'm still happy with my iphone 4, so.....

Aside from the iCreep and his meanness, the gentleman handing over the phone will be more careful next time hopefully.
