Howie's back on the iPhone line.

Howie placed a pre-order for his new iPhone 4 and elected not to receive it via mail at his home, but rather to wait in line with everyone else for the phone...for the experience. 

He had his first line experience when he purchased his first iPhone on the very first day they were available for sale in June, 2007.

Here's a video Howie just took on his new phone, not from the line he waited in to pick up his pre-ordered device that could have been delivered to his home address, but a new line on which his cousin waits, as of the time of this writing, to purchase a phone.  No pre-order.  Just faith that they'll have enough.  Howie has elected to attend this line experience as well.

It's a good thing, too.  Because if he waits long enough to reach the front, he's going to buy a new one for me.  I'm going to AT&T.  I'm taking the dive.  I'll let you know how the landing feels.

After telling H that the video was blown out, he played with the aperture on the phone and sent this one. 

For comparison, here's a clip of Nokia's hi-def phone camera capabilities.  They claim that this clip was not color corrected, but I find that very hard to believe.
