Apparently pre-ordering was not the issue, as he has already pre-ordered two new iPhones. I think he was just enjoying chatting with fans.

I went by early this afternoon and met him. I got a photo with him, and so did several other people. He could not have been more gracious.

"People brought iPhones, iPods and iPads for Wozniak to sign with a marker. "Now your phone is not going to be worth as much when you sell it," Wozniak said to one woman before signing her iPhone 4"

Dear Woz, I am sure an iPhone with your signature is worth a lot more than a bare iPhone.

I want to start a company that's so damned awesome, that even after I've been retired for decades, I'll line up and wait overnight to buy their latest product.

This guy is really cool, he has proved it time and again.

Anyone remember if there is any queue for the first iPhone?

What a legend and a decent guy too!

How many other "celebrities" would keep in touch with a student they met in a queue a year ago? Legend.

Did Steve and Woz get on in later years?

He did it may be as a tribute to his dear friend, Steve Jobs.

Somebody teach him how to preorder.
