Steve Wozniak got in line at 4 a.m. to buy two new iPhones

Bringing donuts, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, got in line at 4 a.m. Friday to buy the new iPhone 3G, just like thousands of Apple fans across the country.

“Last year, I had one coming from Steve Jobs, but I still wanted to do this” he told The Mercury-News of San Jose.

Dressed in black and posing for pictures with employees and customers at a Silicon Valley Apple store, Wozniak bought one black phone and one white, both 16 gigs.

“I could get someone to do this for me,” said Wozniak, who hasn’t actively worked at Apple since the 1980s. “But, it’s fun. We are all here - Macintosh enthusiasts.”

Wozniak and Jobs formed Apple Computer in 1976.
