Photos: US waits in line for iPhone

Although there don't seem to be reports of any iPhone shortages, people who just want to be the first are already waiting in line in front of Apple stores in Manhattan.

On Tuesday, a line began in front of the Apple store in the shopping-heavy SoHo neighbourhood. The three in line work for the advertising agency Anomaly, which represents the nonprofit organisation Keep a Child Alive. Lindsey Lanpher and David Broad (right) say they're going to put the phones on sale on eBay and donate the proceeds to the foundation.

CNET News.com's New York reporter, Caroline McCarthy, will be line watching until the first iPhone is sold on Friday evening.
