Rob Shoesmith, a 29-year-old who works for Medl Mobile, is already in line for the iPhone 5 at London's Covent Garden Apple Store, reports Metro.co.uk.

The 29-year-old has been given everything from scented candles and aftershave to use of a £20,000 Chevrolet car, £800 worth of outdoor gear and food from top restaurants.

The freebie grabbing is part of a publicity stunt while he camps outside London's flagship Apple store to be first in line for the new iPhone 5 later this year.

Shoesmith plans to use his blog to promote companies that donate products and services to help him with the experience. The stunt will also help him build contacts for Medl Mobile, the app development company he is marketing manager for.

Reusable items that Shoesmith receives while waiting for the iPhone will be donated to charity once the wait is over.

Can apple enable a the passcode on your iPad2 if you use the same apple id as the one you use for your jail broken phone when you sync through your iTunes? Some of the apps are cracked on the laptop!

Why the hell does he have a fire bucket, stuffed animals, golf balls and a load of other crap in the tent? Is he gonna put the fire out if his tent catches on fire with all the crap? Maybe he should take it out of the box and put some water in his fire bucket. This guy is gonna accumulate so much junk from companies throwing away their junk, he will have to sleep outside. Im sure that will double his experience.

So, this dumbass thinks he's entitled to free donations because he is willing to camp outside in a tent 2 months before the release of the iP5. This loser can't even tell his kids about his experience. Imagine "Hey kids, when I was your age, I waited outside for the iP5 in a tent mooching off people for money." The kids: "Dad, what a loser and a waste of time, the iP5 is such old news, now we have the iP20" Yep, this guy is a winner in life.

..not so dumb if u ask me, just think on the ones donating, same ones buying the iPhones!

Cheappppaktra....Actually it does play Flash. Safari doesn't play flash. Many APPs and browsers like iSwifter play flash

On all of the stunt that this guy wanna do..? Why camping and waiting for the release of the new iPhone? This guy wanna be first to have the unit? I tell you bro your not the first, you do realize that who ever made it and give it to, he or she is the first of all.. And as for the public, who ever goes on the front door of apple gets the first unit in public, same goes on the other countries.. So your not the first evryone is.

Apple fans has no life,.......no joke!! I mean you can be happy when you get an apple product, but lining up, living in a tent just for a piece of technology is for someone who has no job, no home etc.

qwe44rtr4w3 - July 19, 2011 at 10:20am

Agree!!!

asd - July 19, 2011 at 12:54pm

If you don't have a job or home, why would you own an apple product? lol But agreed, this guy is dumb, and he thinks he's entitled for people to make donations because he's in a tent.

Mr yogi - July 18, 2011 at 10:15pm

N these people wonder why apple Over prices. If all these idiots stop lining up for the phone apple will start selling them for dirt cheap

MCF3778 - July 20, 2011 at 4:12am

I agree.. I can now say that I am not the only one that thinks apple over prices everything!

He's in for a long wait. I sure hope he's got an iToilet & iPaper in that tent somewhere.

Slim - July 18, 2011 at 9:40pm

They haven't even set a date. If they announce it in August it won't be released until AT LEAST September. This guy is going to spend an entire month is a freaking tent. If I had the option though I think that I'd be doing the same.

Folks, read (beyond the headline) first then comment.
