Call For Photos: iPhone 3G Campers Around the World

Those New Zealand jerks may have gotten their iPhone 3Gs already, but everyone else around the world is still waiting in line, sweaty and hungry for their new devices. If they're anything like our friends in Gizmodo Japan, they're quite enjoying the experience. We want to know about it. Send in photos of the first people in line around the world waiting for their iPhones to tips@gizmodo.com with the subject "iPhone Camper Photos." We'll do a gallery later in the week showing everyone just what kind of person it takes to wait in line overnight.

Call For Photos: iPhone 3G Campers Around the World

iPhone 3G Campers. Devoted fans or masochistic screwballs? We don't have the answer, but we don't have enough evidence yet. That's where you come in. We want you to send in pictures of the first person in line at Apple stores and cellphone stores around the world so we can see just what kind of testicular fortitude it takes to sit in the cold for two days just for a phone. And yes, testicular, because women aren't stupid enough to do this. At least, not unless someone drags them there. Send all photos to tips@gizmodo.com with the subject "iPhone Camper Photos". Above, you can see the flagship Apple store in Tokyo. Thanks, Jamandru!

Knee Brace Charges Your Cellphone

A knee brace that generates enough electricity to power 10 cellphones was demonstrated by scientists recently. The brace harvests the energy of a person's knee braking after taking a step, similar to the way hybrid car brakes collect energy to charge their batteries. The device only weighs 3.5 pounds, and does not need the intense effort that other human-powered energy generators such as hand cranks require. And while the cellphone measurement given by the creators is pretty useless, they do have several practical applications in mind. More »
