Gadget Lab reader Rob V. Burr reports in from Miami's Apple Store, where rumor has it 500 phones are waiting within.

"Hi! Rob V. Burr reporting in from The Falls Apple Store in Miami, FL. There's about 200-250 people in line right now. They've blacked out the store front and the anticipation is growing. Figure by 5pm the line will start growing exponentially and things will start to get more interesting. There's a rumor going around the line that they have about 500 iPhones here waiting for us. Included is a few photos from my Macbook Pro's Photobooth. I've got a friend with an HD camera on the way, so expect some YouTube clips from me later. More reports to come!"

Rob (far left in the photo, with buddies) says he's about one hundred and thirty-fifth in line, which puts him right in front of the store itself (the line snakes all the way around a mall courtyard). Sounds like a good queue-jumping opportunity there, Rob! Another body is added to the line every couple of mins.
